Vestal Restaurant

ALWAYS a great night! Perfect ambiance with a relaxing romantic vibe. My husband had the beef tartare n he loved it! The service was outstanding & friendly. BEST Cosmopolitans in town! Yes, I recommend this place!

This was our favorite restaurant in Lafayette. They have the BEST crawfish bisque I ever had. The ribeye was cook to perfection with bone marrow butter. The place was cozy and staff was friendly.

Everything was amazing! Ambiance was great for date night, service was exceptional, everyone was so friendly and the food and drink were phenomenal. We ordered the oysters and bone marrow as an appetizer and finished off with the wagyu which was super tender. Would definitely come back again!

Wow. How many good things will Yelp allow me to say. This place is a fusion of down south hospitality and out of the world culinary creativity. From New York to Houston you will be hard pressed to find an establishment like this that checks all the boxes. I had a talk with the manager and head chef and these guys have a passion for what they do. They know exactly what it means when you say medium rare. Congratulations on a job well done. I can't wait to come back!

I wanted to give this place 5 stars instead of 4, but there was one thing that I really couldn't get past. We made a reservation weeks ago for an early dinner at 5:30 on Saturday, Dec 30. We had never dined here and was really looking forward to it. The front of the restaurant had an adorable waiting area, the bar was just magnificent, and the white tables with little square tiles were so trendy. The pendant lighting around the back bar and the wood burning fire pit as you watched the kitchen staff was all so beautiful. The hoestes greeted us and seated us right away. As we waited for our waiter/waitress, the hostess came back to tell us, "Just to let yall know, there is a 2 hour limit to dine here." I was a little taken back, first thing I could think was to respond with a joke, so I sort shock laughed and told her umm we will try to calm the party level down to not surpass the two hour limit. After she left, we all looked at each other and was like, that was weird, right? I can only think that maybe the manager must have told her to remind guests that it's 2 hours (even though that is an unwritten rule at almost all restaurants) since it was going to be a busy night. Either way, it left a bad taste in my mouth.Anyway, after the odd hostess incident, the worlds sweetest waitress with the warmest smile came by to welcome us. We placed our drink orders and apps. She had recommended some really good dishes. We ended up ordering the crudo, which was amazing! And I had the clockwork orange cocktail. That drink was so good! I haven't had a drink that had carrot in it, such unique and refreshing flavors! I also ordered the chicken for my meal, trying to be somewhat healthy, and it was ok. My husband ordered the mac and cheese, and my goodness, the crunchy crust on that mac n cheese was delicious! It was almost like a mac n cheese pie, crusty, crunchy crust and moist, cheesy filling. I was full, but I just kept eating that mac n cheese. The manager came and checked on us to make sure all was ok half way through the meal and I didn't want to make my friends uncomfortable by bringing up the hostess thing, as much as I wanted to tell him, but I did say that I loved the cocktail and the mac n cheese. Wanted to keep the evening positive. I am not sure if I will be back. But it is a beautiful restaurant with great ambiance, cocktails, and in the heart of downtown.

Another outstanding dining experience, the server was great, and recommended the beet hummus which is a must have. The pickled shrimp was a new flavor experience which worked out very well and balanced, the sweet potato with the jalapeño on top gave a nice spice to the sweetness. Now on to the pork chop which was thick and juicy, and very flavorful, the butter nut squash beneath was seasoned perfectly, now the crab spaghetti was spectacular, creamy with the al dente noodles yum!!!! Every bite was delicious. Great food great service, louder but lively.

We had a large group eat dinner here and the service was phenomenal. The atmosphere is beautiful and romantic. The sea food was delicious but I felt that my steak wasn't seasoned although the quality of the meat tasted amazing and so was the chimichurri. Some people in the group ordered the French onion soup and it was almost inedible.. super thick and weird tasting. I'll remember their snapper forever, it tasted unreal, so fresh and perfect. The employees were also so incredible and patient with our table, I'd return again just for the wedge salad and service. A very good restaurant but a little over priced in my opinion.

We had a great dinner! Cocktails were good, the bone marrow was excellent. Highly recommend

Atmosphere is 10/10. I lovedddd the oysters. Would go back for that any day. Drinks were great!

Bar staff was great ! If you're in Lafayette you have to make time for this amazing restaurant.
