I’m so glad we were able to enjoy one last meal at Acadiana before they closed. Thank you for the many delicious memories over the past 13 years or so. You will be missed.

This restaurant has closed, and that is probably a good thing. I had visited this restaurant years ago and remembered the food to be good. My boyfriend and I took his son there so we could recreate our trip to New Orleans and hopefully get some great authentic new orleans-style food. Unfortunately, this place disappointed us. Granted they were closing in a week so maybe they weren't putting in as much effort. I was very disappointed.

great ambiance, great costumer service. food is fair. great presentation and great attempts but knowing the real thing from personal experience cooking, other restaurants and eating in New Orleans, some of the main flavors are missing. Great for happy hour, appetizers (grilled oysters), drinks during sunday brunch jazz, or lunch during weekdays.

Our brunch at Acadiana was a sad occasion as they were closing in two days. We were very lucky to get a table for their final brunch. The only negative, besides this being the end, was that they were beginning to run out of some supplies, and there wasn't a tea bag in the house. Aside from that, they had everything we wanted. Two of us started with the creamy corn and crab soup and the other two had their luscious pan perdu (a wonderful French toast.) Actually, I just remembered that I treated myself to half a dozen perfect oysters on the half shell. I was too full to eat my main course, crawfish etouffe, so I took it home, and it will be dinner tonight. Although I always contended that it is a Creole dish and shouldn't be spicy, it's still delicious and I don't know where I'll get it in the future. The rest were very happy with their meals. For dessert, I got the bananas Foster ice cream, but it tasted to me of chemicals and alcohol, and I hated it. No problem. They replaced it with a finely layered cake, yellow cake with chocolate, much like Smith Island cake. Yum!

As usual the food and service were excellent. My husband and I have been dining here since they first opened and every meal has been wonderful along with outstanding and friendly service. Unfortunately, Acadiana is closing on 12/31/18 and we are really going to miss this restaurant, we feel as if we are losing a family member.

As always, Acadiana was amazing. I had the pork chop which was moist and flavorful. My friend had the fried catfish which was crunchy and not at all greasy. We also shared the trio of deviled eggs and the sautéed mushrooms. Service was attentive but not disruptive. I am so sad to hear they are closing this week. I routinely recommended Acadiana to clients who were in DC for business. I hope the owners decide to re-open elsewhere (NoVa please!)

Food and service were outstanding. Very sorry to hear they are closing down due to building renovations and big jump in the rent. Sounds like they may pop back up somewhere else, but I'll miss their great Cajun recipes! Best roast duck I have ever had! Get there soon. Closing at the end of the year.

This was the second time I've eaten at Acadiana and it was as good as the first time. The bread for the Po boy sandwich is flown in from NOLA. The music was really loud at lunch so we asked that it be turned down and it was (the speaker was right over our table.) I asked if the rice could be served on the side of my jambalaya and it was. Our server was very responsive and personable.

Excellent food, although the doberge cake was pretty pedestrian with any lemon flavor it might have had overwhelmed by a surfeit of chocolate. It really should be a round layer cake with not quite as many layers. The service was attentive, unobtrusive, and congenial - could not have been more "user-friendly." Great jazz, too. Sorry to see it close and hoping it finds another location, and soon.
