La Roux Bistro

Let me start by saying we thought we had a reservation but it turned out to be the next weekend. The manager gave a table any way. Which was great, because I had never been here and want to try their food. Our waiter was very good and helped us with food choices. Since I don't do spicy at all it was hard to choose from. Wish I remembered his name but he earned that good tip. Now on to the food. I got the cod with veggies and the garlic mashed potatoes. The cod was overcooked and I had to cut into it to eat it with my knife. It was seared way to long. The veggies had no flavor at all. Also if you look at the second dish there is so much oil in the bottom of my dish. I'm sorry to ever say this but the Sweet Tea was not good either. How do you mess up on Tea? And my date said his was ok but not great. So I really can't say much about his. I really hated to do this kind of review. Because I really wanted to like this place. I really do. Maybe next time I go I will try something different. If there is a next time.

We went here today for lunch right when they opened. We liked the atmosphere, the customer service, and food. My husband and I shared the Boudin Balls (you get 3 total). I was nervous about trying them, but I’m glad I did. The Creole mustard was excellent! Our waitress said she liked to eat them with hot sauce and my husband agreed after tying it that way. My husband had the Crawfish Etouffee and really enjoyed it. I had the Country Gumbo and after mixing it up it was good with great flavor. I thought it was bland until I mixed it up. We had bread pudding for dessert and it isn’t a standard bread pudding. It’s more of a caramel apple pie meets bread pudding and they marry. It was good, but we will opt for something else next time. Overall, we were satisfied and we will definitely be back as there are multiple other items on the menu we want to try whether it be lunch or dinner. I hope you try it here and enjoy it as much as we did!

La Roux Bistro on Commercial Street - Springfield Missouri has so much love and detail into every aspect. My buddy and foodie friend Joseph Gidman developed this concept amongst his other amazing eateries on this historic part of Springfield. From the moment you walk in you feel at home. The beautiful murals, the upbeat vibe upstairs to the middle level where you literally walk into the kitchen to the downstairs vault. There is history around every turn and no expense was spared on the vibe and decor. The food is very New Orleans meets C-Street and I am absolutely in love with the French Onion Soup. My wife and I went for date night last time I was in town and we had an absolute blast. My wife couldn’t stop raving about the olive tapenade and charcuterie. From the freshly baked bread to the delicious appetizers and main dishes to dessert it’s hard to go wrong. Come hungry and come thirsty because your La Roux Family awaits to make you feel at home. They even made us some fun mocktails to sip on as we waited for our seat that were divine! Thanks to all that made this dream a reality, we adore you! @larouxbistro #thechefsview #frenchfood #springfieldmo #larouxbistro #bistro #frenchonionsoup #commercialstreet
