9 Best Wine Bars near Lafayette

“Had some pretty good cortados from the Village Shopping Center location while staying at a nearby hotel. Totally worth the short walk from the hotel! Would visit again and definitely recommend to others.“

“Such a cute little wine bar. Service was great. But some of the food is overpriced- at least the things we ordered. We got an entree of mussels to share for the table that was around $35 and received only 6 mussels, one of which was completely closed (which means dead before cooked). 5 mussels for that price is pretty ridiculous. Not sure if it was an error in the kitchen or what. The server did give us a discount as an apology which was appreciated.“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere.“

“the food was really good and the staff was friendly a little bit overpriced but other than that a really good experience“

“What a wonderful dinner and such a calm, inviting energy to be surrounded by with great company. From the moment we sat down, everything about the experience was wonderful . Between the four of us, we tried a wide variety of dishes, and every single one was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Each plate that came out somehow topped the last thoughtful flavors, perfect portions, and clear attention to detail. You can truly taste the care and talent behind the food.

The service was just as impressive, warm, attentive, and perfectly timed without ever feeling rushed. A big thank you to our server, Matt, who was fantastic and made the entire evening even more enjoyable. And compliments to Chef Savon clearly he knows exactly what he’s doing. The creativity, quality, and execution across everything we tried were outstanding.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing food, great atmosphere, and an all-around wonderful dining experience. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“Long review in coming

We recently stopped into Elevated Q for lunch without knowing much about it, and I must say, it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Discovering that it is a locally owned BBQ smokehouse made the experience even better.

From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the new General Manager, Chris, whose friendliness and hospitality immediately stood out. His welcoming demeanor set the tone for the entire visit. The restaurant itself features a well-executed industrial rustic design, creating a comfortable yet stylish atmosphere. The bar seating is especially inviting, with a great view of the TVs, making it an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the game.

Chris also proved to be highly knowledgeable behind the bar. He crafted a whiskey drink that was exceptional—so much so that, had it not been lunchtime, we likely would have stayed much longer to try more of his recommendations.

For food, we were introduced to a “secret menu” item: garlic butter buffalo wings. These were outstanding and, in my opinion, deserving of a permanent spot on the menu. The loaded BBQ fries were another highlight—rich, flavorful, and truly satisfying.

I ordered the Pitmaster Platter, featuring pulled pork and jalapeño cheddar sausage. Both meats were well-prepared and enjoyable, though the pulled pork could benefit from a bit more seasoning. The spicy BBQ sauce, however, added a great kick and complemented the dish nicely. My wife chose the loaded baked potato, which was generously portioned and topped with brisket that was incredibly tender—practically melting with each bite.

Overall, Elevated Q clearly knows what it’s doing when it comes to both food and hospitality. As a lighthearted note, Chris did make one “mistake”—he didn’t have the Masters on the big screen—but we’ll let that slide.

We look forward to returning soon. And while we didn’t manage to take photos this time (the food was too good to wait), that just gives us another reason to come back.“
