   Wood fired oysters were excellent, nice size. Shrimp & Grits were equally good, perfect texture and flavor. Crab spaghetti was unique and light. Ribeye was cooked just right with the fat being charred just enough to give it some crunch. Mac & cheese and fingerling potatoes were equally impressive. Ambience was good for our 6:00 reservation. Daniel, our server was very knowledgeable and accommodating.

   Beautiful place with an incredible ambiance. Food was good, but not exceptional in any way... We enjoyed ourselves and will return.

   Great food, they did a good job with redesigning the space…admittedly, it’s acoustics are tough. We are still young enough to be able to hear pretty well but definitely would be challenging with older folks.

   This restaurant is singlehandedly one of the best I've ever been to. The atmosphere is beautiful, and the food is even better. Service is prompt even when the restaurant is super busy. I truly cannot recommend this place enough!

   Service and food was really good. My wife and I shared the brisket lasagna. It was more than enough with the shareable sides.

   Everything on the menu is exceptional! The steaks are melt in your mouth and the butter add ons are phenomenal! Their entrees are all unique and sound so delicious! The crispy fingerling potatoes are to die for, definitely one of our favorite side we have had there.

   Brought some friends to dinner. This was our second time here. Food and service was as before, outstanding. A little gem in Lafayette. Best steak I’ve had since I was there a couple months ago. I’ll be back

    Have been to Vestal 4-5 times. Was super disappointed they took their focaccia bread and feta butter off the menu!!😭😭 otherwise it was pretty good. The oysters, U10 shrimp and crawfish bisque were outstanding! Vibe and atmosphere is always great

    Birthday dinner for my GF. We thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp and rolls for our appetizers. After that I had a delicious Caesar salad. We each got the filet for our entree. It was charred on the outside really well while still maintaining all the juice and flavor on the inside. My girlfriend had 2 sidecars. Her first one was excellent. We are unsure if the second was made by a different bartender but it had a completely different presentation and wasn’t as superb as the first. I ordered a Morally Bankrupt and it was delicious!

    We enjoyed our first experience at Vestal very much. Very lively atmosphere! We sat at the counter so we were able to watch the staff prepare the meals around the wood-fired grill area. The workers operate like a well-oiled machine! The service was excellent and the food was tasty. The wood-cooked oysters were amazing! The steaks were well cooked and tasty as well. And finally, the sweet potatoes were delicious - with all the toppings, they were like dessert. We weren’t crazy about the rolls, but everything else made up for that. Highly recommend this place and plan to visit again. Just a note - When it’s busy, the noise level is pretty intense so if you want a quieter experience, ask to sit near the back (away from the bar area).

    Had the wood roasted oysters, looked fantastic until you put in your mouth and taste nothing but salt. My wife got the filet and she couldn’t eat it due to the amount of salt( like licking salt block). I had the tomahawk pork shop and way over overcooked. The atmosphere is nice but gets a little noise. Surely not worth the price!!

    The food, service and cocktails were all amazing. I ordered the Redfish, with a blackened butter topping, and whipped potatoes. My husband ordered the filet which was buttery and cooked perfectly. Fabulous.

    The server seemed high and was very slow to respond. He kept checking our table but did not take any empty dishes away, it was only performative checking… So odd. The food was not great, the pasta dish lacked so much flavor that we had to ask for table salt, which is something I have never had to do before.

    Christmas dinner with my sons. We had a wonderful time! The vibe at Vestal is sophisticated and vibrant. Jeremy was our waiter, and his service was exemplary. Cocktails and wine were excellent, and the food was fantastic. There are plenty of options for carnivores and pescatarians alike. I’ve been to Vestal several times, and have never been disappointed, but this experience takes the cake!

    Not everything it’s hyped up to be..unless you are a 20 something, maybe 30ish person/group. 6:45 Friday reservations, not real crowded but hostess sat us RIGHT next to bar. It got real loud by 7:30. It’s a bit overpriced imo. Food was good, served hot. We were a table of 4 and ordered the oysters (char grilled) and they brought out 2 dishes w 6 each, which I considered thoughtful UNTIL we got the bill. $18 for 6…a bit overpriced. Probably won’t return but I’m not sure we are the target group. 2 couples in early 60’s. Not old folks but not our cup of tea. Thx
