" I visited Evangeline while on vacation in New Orleans, and it was easily one of my favorite dining experiences. The drinks were fantastic, especially the ginger mint julep! I ordered the crab cakes as an appetizer, and they were delicious. For the main course, I opted for jambalaya, which was perfectly spicy and filling. The staff were engaging and made sure we were happy throughout our meal. This place will definitely be on my list for the next time I'm in town! " (*Curated Review*)

The flavors were robust and definitely authentic to New Orleans cuisine. Our server was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried a variety of appetizers and were not disappointed. The fried catfish was tasty as well as the jambalaya, albeit a little heavy on rice. Our server was enthusiastic and very helpful. Overall, a great experience, albeit slightly on the pricier side. " (*Curated Review*)

" Evangeline has become our go-to restaurant whenever we visit New Orleans. The quality of food is consistent and delicious. Their gumbo and fried shrimp are a couple of my favorites. The staff are always friendly, and we appreciate the effort they put into making each dining experience enjoyable. Do make reservations in advance as it can get busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Evangeline has an enchanting atmosphere, perfect for a date night. The service was somewhat slow, which was a bummer, but the flavorful dishes made up for it. We had the crawfish étouffée and the grilled oysters, both of which were scrumptious. Their specialty cocktails also added a nice touch. I would suggest visiting during off-peak hours if you want a more relaxed dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Evangeline was a fantastic find during our trip. The staff was engaging and genuinely cared about our experience. We started with fried okra, which was crispy, then moved on to the chicken fried steak, which was perfectly seasoned. I would recommend making a reservation as it gets quite busy, reflecting its popularity! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful lunch at Evangeline! The ambiance was perfect and the staff were super friendly. I opted for the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, and they were perfect. The fettuccine with shrimp was also a solid choice. The only downside was the wait time was a bit longer than expected, but the food made it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)
