A friend and I decided to start our night out with appetizers here. This place is a bit tucked away, but once you find it, it's really cute. The interior is very fresh and modern-looking.
I started off with Deep Fried Breadsticks, which were okay but not remarkable. We also had the Traditional Cheese Fondue, but the friend I was with claimed that it wasn't a "real" fondue, because it didn't have wine in it. Â It wasn't too great either. Â
We also had drinks with our food. I ordered a Cheesecake martini, but it didn't taste like we expected. It ended up being more of a "strawberry cream" martini. My friend mentioned this to our server, and she offered to replace it with a different drink free of charge, explaining that they were still tweaking their recipes. Â I had an Apple-tini for a replacement, and that was very yummy.
So, I think the food could still use some work, but I think the service was fairly good.
I had no idea this place existed until I went to dinner here with a group of friends. It must be a relatively new restaurant/bar because it seemed like it was still getting its feet wet and feeling out what type of clientele would be eating and drinking there. The staff was all very friendly and eager for customers and the food and drink was all topnotch. It's a little hard to find, but the best way to describe it is right across the street from the courthouse on the east side. Friday night they had great drink specials--$2.50 well drinks and they were decently sized too. I was pleased with what they had to offer in terms of drink varieties. And apparently on Saturdays they have $1.75 PBRs so I'd eat that up in an instant.
Their food was really great also. Our group had a combo of a fresh salad with a steak on top of it, cooked to order, and BLT with deep fried bacon and a mound of fries, chicken fingers, and much more. The portions were quite large and worth the price, which averaged around $12 to $13 a meal. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is very classy so it would definitely make for a nice dinner out. The lounge has couches, bar space, tables for eating, and many TVs if you're there for that type of entertainment. I'll cross my fingers that this place will succeed in downtown Lafayette.
The outdoor seating area looked bustling and fun, but unfortunately the day we went there wasn't any seating available. Â We went inside and the staff seemed a bit unsure what to do with us, the servers and owner hesitated about who should seat us and it took a good bit for them to get back and take our drink order. Â Drinks were great, but the food was less than stellar. Â Steak kabob was severely overdone and cold, fried dishes were lukewarm and the house specialty sauces, although super tasty, had to be requested several times. Â
I'm hoping this is a reflection of the newness of the establishment and will be worked out in time. Â Going again with girlfriends for happy hour and it's been 2 months since I've been previously, so we shall see!
Well we had to try it but actually only ordered appetizers and decided there was nothing appealing on the menu.  So the "fondue" is a small bowl of nacho cheese  lit by a tea light candle that didn't really have anything special about it and the bacon wrapped jalapeños had to be stock frozen "poppers" with a piece of bacon.  I asked about the mozzarella sticks to see if they were hand breaded (b/c nothing is better than homemade sticks) - nope frozen.  The mojito wasn't half bad but the inside decor while trying to be trendy was strangely cafeteria like.  Moved on for dinner at Black Sparrow where we knew we could get a meal made with homemade ingredients and creativity.
