text: We live literally across the street and have been wanting to come here for a year since moving in. We did last night, and it was great.\n\nBefore ever visiting, Louisiane has a really lovely vibe, candlelit seats spread along the sidewalk. It always looked very enticing, and it was, both inside and out.\n\nThe menu is southern/cajun food, which was a first for us, which was nice. We ordered a chicken soup, green salad, crab cakes, to start. And then we had the dinosaur beef ribs and sizzling firecracker shrimp as mains. We also got two bottles of wine.\n\nEverything was really yummy, the chicken soup/green salad were good. The crabcakes / dinosaur ribs though, were amazing. The crabcakes starter comes as 5-6 small little balls which you can dip and eat. And the ribs, were honestly, some of the best I ever had in my life. \n\nAlso, all of the staff were also super nice. I say all, because unlike other restaurants where if you ask another employee for something, they will say \"I'll get your server.\" At Louisiane, said person just did the task, happily. Which is how it is in the Europe/Australia, unlike North America etc. \n\nWe had a really lovely dinner. Every aspect was great.\n\nHowever, the one downside to this place, is that I find it is a tad expensive. Most things on the menu feel a little bit marked up than they should be, I feel. But that said, unlike many other marked up restaurants around the city, La Louisiane offers something that is incredibly unique, and executed very well. For a long time, we only stuck to going to BYOW restaurants if we ever wanted wine, because of the intense markup on bottles especially. However, because Louisiane is unique, and offers a great seating, atmosphere and food, it can be argued that the pricing is justified. I'd return for sure.
