   Drinks, atmosphere and service were great! Food just okay. One entree was served 10 minutes later then the rest and cold. Overall, would go back especially for drinks before going out.

   We made a quick decision to go to Louisiana Purchase on a Friday night and had difficulty finding a parking place. The restaurant was full. With our reservation, we were seated quickly. Our waiter was very nice. Things were a little slow arriving, but the food was delicious. I had the Cajun Linguini and blackened chicken and my husband had a Po Boy. We also had the cheddar biscuits and maple syrup brussel sprouts. All of the food was delicious and we enjoyed it. Ordered beignets and took a lot home for a second meal the next night. Great new discovery. We'll be back. Probably will take a LYFT to avoid driving around for 10 minutes.

   This is one of the best hidden gems of San Diego. LP has the most amazing Cajun cruising you’ll find in the area, hands down. The staff are all outstanding, friendly, helpful, and fun. Brunch is my favorite time to stop by but dinner is equally as nice.

   from the moment we walked in we had a smile on our face. the waiter Joseph answered all our questions before we even asked them. the drinks and food all arrived very quickly and hot which is amazing. and the food itself was to die for and worth every penny. the chef was out and about checking on everyone which is always a cool thing to see. we will be coming back for sure.

    Tried out most small bits menu at the table and several drinks. All were pretty good (although large bites probably would be a bit more substantial and less fried/ bread focused); Next time will give those a go. Had a hurricane among the drinks but was not traditional enough for my liking. The waiter took a bit to show up and was friendly enough but seemed to abandon us half way through. Had busboy run check at end. Was surprised how much of seating was on outside patio area but with heaters and being San Diego was warm enough.

    It was cold And even though when we made a reservation we were seated at a table right next to the door. We did move and that was much better. The food was very tasty but really too rich for my tastes.

    We decided to give Louisiana purchase a try for a friends night out dinner. The restaurant was well designed and trendy . We started with appetizers of crispy cauliflower and boudin, Both were very good. For dinner our table ordered the fried catfish, Mac n cheese, fried chicken and Gumbo yay a. Everything was well prepared, presented and delicious. We will definitely come back to try the other dishes.

    We’ve been wanting to try LP for a few months now and glad we did! Overall we enjoyed it! The cauliflower was great! The balls were delish (they’re like bouisin (?) meatballs with a delish sauce-appetizer). The sazerac and old fashioned were a little sweet but still great for $7. I had the rib eye which was probably the best meal on the table. The oysters were a bit salty to my liking. Very rich. Also tried the fried chicken with a sweet and spicy sauce, very tasty. The jumbilaya pasta special had a super heavy tomato base for the sauce so wasn’t that great. Overall would def come back and order the ribeye again. I loved the music (a lot of Sinatra covers) but bring a jacket! Oh and very disappointed they did nothing at all for my husbands 50th birthday! I mentioned a few times and not even a plate that said happy birthday in Hershey’s chocolate syrup but, whatevs! Lol! 4 people, 7 drinks, 2 apps, 4 entrees, our bill was $230 w|o tip.

    We were going to Ashton Gallery for an exhibition, so I hunted on-line for North Park restaurants for a dinner afterwards and found Louisiana Purchase, which seemed promising since my partner loves Cajun/Creole food. It is quite trendy and busy--fun and alive. Service was excellent (we were warned about it being slow since the place was packed, but it really was not a problem. . .had fun perusing the drink menu while waiting), and the food was unique and delicious (Crispy Cauliflower, Peaches & Scallops, North Park Gumbo Yaya). Louisiana Purchase (love the name) was a delightful surprise!

    The food at Louisiana Purchase met our expectations and then some! We had the honor of meeting the chef and was able to share our compliments. The food was very flavorful, and some items had a kick so watch out for heat levels if you don't eat spicy food. Although the ambiance is cozy, the restaurant does not have solid walls so it's seems most comfortable during a warm spring or summer day; wear a sweater if dining during the cooler winter months. Our waiter used profanity which I did not care for, but the food was amazing! Must tries: char-grilled oysters, sweet potato cornbread, candid yams and red beans and rice!

    I am not a reviewer. Have probably written less than 10 in my life. I went to LP when it first opened and all of the dishes on the regular menu were great, the Special of St. Louis Style ribs was the worst I have ever had (I'm from St. Louis). Aside from the ribs, overall tasty food but slightly overpriced. Atmosphere is cozy, cool, unique. Went back 1+ year later and cannot give enough praise. First off I screwed up the # of people on the res so we were seated outside on a cold night but 10 minutes later they put together tables to accommodate us despite being fully reserved inside. From there service was on point, food was incredibly flavorful and while not always "authentic" there are a lot of dishes that are traditional (and are excellent) and the other are an awesome redition of a classic. Prices are a bit lower than my first visit and hit the sweet spot for quality and value. So glad I tried it again and can't wait to go back!

    My friend and I stopped by recently for Sunday brunch and were absolutely blown away! The food, presentation, drinks, and service were all outstanding! The portion sizes were perfect and the bottomless Mimosas with self-service juice bar were fantastic. Louisiana Purchase is definitely a hidden gem of the neighborhood.

    Food was good cajon, but nothing memorable about it. The ambiance was dark, but classy and great for a romantic date night. However, because it was cold outside they were cramming everyone in the already too small indoor section of the restaurant. Multiple times our waiter had to reach through other tables to hand us things. Overall we felt as tho the food was priced too high for what you get. There are better, cheaper, more classic cajon restaurants id go to before coming back to Louisiana Purchase.
