Louisianne's Etc - Middleton

This restaurant had an elegant atmosphere without feeling snobby. I visited with two coworkers the night before we headed home from a business trip, and I was pleasantly surprised to find Creole cuisine in the Madison, WI area. I couldn't resist trying it right away! I ordered the Crawfish Etouffee and a 4-piece sampler platter to share with my colleagues. One coworker had the sautéed shrimp, while the other chose the barbecue shrimp. The BBQ-loving coworker is quite particular about his food; he enjoyed the shrimp from my sampler but thought his main dish was just average. However, my other coworker and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals—they were fantastic! We also indulged in a few rounds of bourbon and a margarita with dinner. The hostess was delightful, and we appreciated the casual conversation with her. If I ever find myself back in the area, I will certainly return!

Fantastic Restaurant! The food was creative and beautifully prepared. Apps we had the combo platter for two then a garden salad with homemade blue cheese dressing. The entree was one of the specials. Grilled swordfish. Posting pics below.

Feels like a characteristic slice of New Orleans in an easy to reach location. Prompt and pleasant service, great food and atmosphere.

Classy place for Middleton with a unique menu of Cajun dishes, including a catfish section of the menu and live jazz piano. Definite 5 star potential on trying more dishes but the two we had didn't get things all the way there.

We stumbled upon Louisianne 's by accident, intending to go to the wine bar next door but intrigued by the basement location and unique menu. We were not disappointed by our deviation in plans... The food was spectacular (we had the escargot and a crawfish cheesecake appetizer), and our server was extremely friendly and made the experience shine with her kind attitude and great service. We enjoyed this place a lot and would love to come back for a full dinner some time!
