Evangeline's Bistro And Music House

With high hopes of enjoying a satisfying meal, we entered this particular establishment, eager to indulge our taste buds. However, our excitement quickly turned into disappointment when we were promptly seated, only to be unceremoniously informed that our presence was unwanted and that we should seek nourishment elsewhere. It is worth mentioning that the establishment's website explicitly stated that food service would continue until 3 o'clock, leading us to expect a pleasant dining experience. In an attempt to address this issue and find a resolution, I took the initiative to contact the manager directly. Regrettably, their response was disheartening, as it seemed that they had no interest or inclination to rectify the situation in any meaningful manner. The lack of concern exhibited by the staff and management further reinforced the notion that this is an establishment where one should think twice before considering a meal. Considering the dismissive treatment, lack of adherence to advertised hours, and the evident apathy displayed by those in charge, it is with a heavy heart that we vehemently discourage anyone from dining at this establishment. Such a disheartening experience should be avoided by all means necessary.

Great music, food, drinks and service. I think our server noticed our cheesecake was slightly delayed in coming out before we did (like I said, music was great). When I come back to St. Louis, I will definitely visit again!

Evangeline’s is an extraordinary institution. The music is curated so well and fits with the cuisine to transport you to another world; and the staff and owners are some of the warmest authentic people in the biz. I have loved eating here and I’ve loved the people I’ve met here. Five stars.

I can't wait to go back!We had a party of five for Father's Day for Sunday Jazz Brunch. We didn't have a reservation because the website says they only accept reservations for parties of four or fewer. We arrived right at 11 am, and after a short wait, we took seats at the bar. Honestly, this was probably the best seat in the house. We had excellent service from the bartenders. We got to sample some beer on tap, and one of the bartenders even made my mom a mini **** Mary to try!Our party started with mimosas and beignets amazing. Then for entrees, we got the Strawberries Jubilee Stuffed New Orleans French Toast, Andouille Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, the Pork Chip Slinger (seriously, try this it's so tender! , Omelet NOLA, and the Bananas Foster Stuffed French Toast. Everything was excellent!Now to plan when we can go back for dinner... ;

This is a gem in a quiet neighborhood. The bbq shrimp and grits were amazing! We loved the music it was a great way to spend an evening in St Louis.
