Vestal Restaurant is a top-notch dining destination in Lafayette, Louisiana, known for its exceptional food, service, and ambiance. The staff and management provide outstanding customer service, making guests feel welcome and valued. The restaurant features an intimate, romantic, cave-like atmosphere with dim lighting and stylish decor, which enhances the dining experience. The menu offers a variety of delicious dishes, including steaks, crab pasta, and fresh fish, all expertly prepared and presented. Guests can also enjoy mouthwatering muscles with homemade focaccia bread, roasted oysters, and a variety of small plates like bone marrow, crawfish mac and cheese, and roasted octopus which takes 48 hours of work to prepare. The open kitchen allows diners to watch the chefs work, adding to the experience. The cocktail menu is creative and delicious, with options such as “girls & cigars” and “oxford comma.” Recent reviews highlight the cool vibe, inventive cocktails, and dishes like Thai coconut mussels and the watermelon salad. Many guests praise the steak, calling it the best they’ve ever had and noting its beautiful, high-quality presentation. While some mention the bone marrow plate being expensive for a small portion and the bread being very hard in texture, overall, guests find the experience marvelous and look forward to returning. The place is very contemporary and elegant, with a pleasant atmosphere at the counter for smaller groups. However, some note that the echoing noise of conversations can spoil the ambiance slightly. The kitchen staff executes every dish to perfection, and the attentive staff makes every visit special. A few guests suggest that the lighting inside could be a bit brighter, but they still find the overall experience delicious and worth visiting multiple times.
