Saw the good reviews and wanted to see for myself. Based on my experience, I have a different opinion. The restaurant was busy but our wait time was approximately 15 minutes the first time. When we were called for seating, we were escorted to an outside table. Never my preference but we were not given an option. However, because of the amount of activity we were going to accept the seating until we got to the table. It was a high table with high seating. I told the hostess that because of my handicap I needed a regular table. Also, most of the high tables were not occupied so I don't think I was the only customer to not want to be seated there. The person rudely told me that I needed to go back inside and back into seating rotation. It took another 20 minutes before we were seated again. Food - The appetizer we ordered (stuffed mushrooms) was served without accompanying side plates and no amount of requests corrected this. Even when a waitress told us that it wasn't her table, but she would bring the plates, she didn't. So my sister and I decided to just share the serving dish because we were not getting individual plates. Salad was cold and crisp. Entree was served hot and the portion size was good. Everything had a good taste. Ambiance - The restaurant was clean. The noise level was so elevated that it was hard to talk to each other. Lunch was not a peaceful experience. Felt agitated when leaving. My sister agreed. read more

i ordered a jalapeño bacon burger and it had neither jalapeños OR bacon. needless to say i'm quite disappointed

Bar service is outstanding. Friendly and helpful guys in the bar. I'm coming back!! Brie and crab soup is really good

Great atmosphere and decent food and drinks. Rating it 2 stars solely because the waitress made extra charges on our bill to steal over $50 from us. She decided to charge us for high end tequila for house margaritas we ordered. Never asked or informed us on this change until the bill came and we had to ask her. Supposedly, the regular tequila used was "out" but I was able to get the same tequila from the bar area and the bartender informed me it was their drink special that night. Come here if you wish to be taken advantage of! read more

Great food, service, atmosphere. The food is priced well, and the fish was great. I had the poboy. I just wish they could do half and half. read more

We finally got in to check out The Chime - Vibes. Definitely lived up to the hype. Excellent food! Barb Que Shrimp Jambalaya and the Chicken Fried Chicken was SO delicious. It's like WoW - kudos to the chief! We were also surprised by the friendly price point.... read more

I love the versatile menu! I have been to the Chimes a couple of times now and haven't been disappointed. We were told the wait was 30 min but we only waited 5-10 min! read more

The Chimes - Pork scallopini - Wine Bars Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

To put it simply, it's SYSCO distribution food with a fancy name. The atmosphere is great, it makes an awesome place to grab a bite, date night, celebration, whatever. It's well done. Service was good. The food? It's meh. You're never gonna be blown away, you'll never be utterly disappointed (slightly disappointed, at worst). The spinach dip tastes like salty cheese. The Bow tie pasta chips are cool (a bit of a gimmick) but don't have a satisfying mouth feel or use. Kinda hard, but kinda soft, it doesn't know what it wants to be. Raw oysters were very fresh and sizable. Burgers, again, were unremarkable. Definitely lacked seasoning. It's a "meh" for me. If someone wanted to go, I wouldn't scoff, but I definitely would never RECOMMEND it. You should totally catch a beer there, though. The bar is dope. Grade: 78 out of 100 read more

It's new and was overly busy but the 2-hour wait was not worth it! The menu was incredibly underwhelming and the food was basic at most. This is nothing but a glorified sports bar that families can bring their children to. I originally thought they gave us their lunch menus by accident but nope, the limited lunch options were all there is for dinner choices. Their basic menu is the only choice, there is nothing fancy, elegant, or classy about this place! read more

Chicken salad sandwich was so delicious as well as the crawfish Mac n cheese. Our waitress was awesome and although it was a 30 minute wait, we enjoyed sitting outside with the beautiful scenery read more

There will be a wait but you'll be kept informed of your place in line and it's well worth a wait! Had the blackened chicken pasta which was perfect! The mozzarella balls were also great but to me the marinara had a kick. Very open, spacious restaurant. Will definitely return! read more

Great looking restaurant. The staff / service was very good. Food excellent. Everything was good. I'll go back. Many times

The food was very delicious. I got the chicken fried Chicken with Mac and cheese and a salad. The chicken was juicy and tender. The Mac and cheese was full of flavor and the salad was very fresh. Service was great. Reasonably priced, and the food came out fairly quick. Portion sizes were fairly large.The waitress was very nice. Over all it was a great dinning experience. read more

LOVED this restaurant! The food was amazing and our server Savannah was seriously the best server I've ever had! Her #1 priority was to provide us with the best experience we could have and she killed it! 10/10 recommend this restaurant and Savannah! read more

Ambience and food were good. Wine was heavy poor. Loved that!!! Service was good. Most dishes were really good.

Service is great, boudin eggrolls and oysters (traditional & blackjack) are wonderful but never ever get the jambalaya. The worse I've ever had read more

We can't wait to return. The food was amazing. We ate at the bar and the service was great. I recommend the crawfish fries and seafood lasagna. read more

Wish I had more hands to give it more thumbs down. Gumbo tasted like an oregano plant, my husband's entree came out 45 mins after my entree, our tables never bused from appetizer service, service slow, bartenders no uniform "look" looked like they just crawled out of bed, no Manager to be seen onsite. Went home with upset stomach. Won't be back. read more

Our waiter was wonderful, so much personality. The hostesses need more training, told us there was a 5 minute wait, but forgot to take our name we waited and finally asked and then they took out name and the waiting started again. Beautiful restaurant, great menu!! read more

Food was amazing! Service was just a tad slow, especially since the rush was over! Loved the patio setting, it was a very nice day!

Ordered to go, service was quick and the seafood lasagna was amazing and a nice size portion!

Food was great and plentiful. Our waitress, Heidi, was exceptional. It was an awesome experience. We sat at a table near the deck. Relaxing view. read more

Stopped by and sat at bar since I was solo. Service a little slow. Got my salad and Entree 1 minute apart. Not too big a deal since I was by myself and Bartender apologized, that's all I needed. The salmon was perfectly cooked to my request of Medium. Large portion as well. Side of jambalaya was different flavor than I am used to, maybe they put a lot of Filé' in it, had a fragrant flavor and it hits hard initially but dissipates, it was ok. Had to get to go boxes since it was a lot of food. Everything was good, salmon was excellent. Nice price for so much. I will be back. Hopefully they will add a side of broccoli. I don't want the other veggies just the broccoli. Really appreciate the bartender apology, he seemed to mean it and it goes a long way. I waited tables all through college, Geaux Tigers, and I learned early just be truthful and it will work out unless it is Sunday, terrible day for tips....you know who you are!! Haha. Can't wait to return! read more

This was my first visit to the Chimes. The parking lot is huge and it's a good thing because on Friday at 6 PM the place was packed and there was a line to get in. Fortunately a friend got there early and saved us a seat in the patio room. I was a little concerned with the crowd that our service would be slow, but it was not. We had a very attentive waiter (Justin), who took our order for appetizers which came quickly. When everybody in our party was there, we ordered our meals and in short order we were served. The food was hot!!! The food was a little above average, but not any better than some of the other restaurants in the neighborhood. The restaurant itself is very rustic inside and noisy. This would be a great place to watch some sporting events. Lots of big screen TVs. There is a huge patio with a fireplace, but the weather was too wet for anybody to be out enjoying it. The prices were reasonable, and the menu had a large selection of different items ranging from appetizers to dessert. It was an enjoyable evening, and I would go back. read more

The food is delicious and plentiful. Server was quick to respond to any requests. So full I didn't try the desserts; an excuse to return.

We loved the atmosphere, the food was outstanding and our server was excellent also. I highly recommend and will surely visit again.

This place caught me by surprise. It's well ran that's for sure. My fiancé and I went last week and LOVED everything. The staff was friendly and accommodating even though they were really busy. Food came out efficiently and hot. And the outside seating was very welcoming. read more

Sat in the bar area. Restaurant is new and nice inside. Service was just OK until an issue arose. My wife and I had to ask for a fork and napkin, not too big of a deal. I ordered a grilled salmon sandwich. It was cooked and prepared just fine however I had to pull bones out of it. Yes, bones, not just one. When I brought this up with an employee, I was told, "Don't all fish have bones". Not what I wanted to hear he took the plate and that was it. His actions are the main reason I will not return. read more

I tried it twice. Friendly staff, lots of parking. Seemed very disorganized. Grilled oysters were OK. Extremely loud. Food was mediocre. A very small step above Walk-Ons. read more

The wait time is long, but the food and service make up for it. Friendly staff, good vibe, beautiful patio and courtyard.

Delicious! Had the oysters and crab claws! The crab claws were a lil difficult to eat off the hard middle part they the taste was great!

Very lovely restaurant. Has beautiful outside dining & waiting area with large fireplace. The food was most enjoyable as well. Looking forward to going again soon. read more
