Acadiana Restaurant is a traditional Louisiana-style fish house serving up the complex flavors of the Bayou in an elevated and elegant atmosphere. Regulars say that the restaurant is warm, cozy, and welcoming, and it works equally well as a gathering place for friends or as an intimate setting for a romantic date.

Once you’re seated, you might start your meal with a few items from the raw bar. The Gulf Coast oysters on the half shell are a popular choice, as are the spice-boiled shrimp. For your main dish consider choosing the cornmeal-crusted wild catfish, with its crispy exterior and light, flaky interior, while a side of roasted potato and bacon salad rounds out the meal nicely. Seafood not your thing, Hodge on 7th? The menu has plenty of other options, including veal medallions over cheese grits and pork t-bone with a unique peach-based barbecue sauce.
