The Wine Loft

I like the vibe, with an area outside to sit at.  Inside is casual, but upscale and comfy.  The service was a bit slow, but not a big deal.  Not a very good beer list, but a good wine list (obviously).  I was really disappointed with the booze selection overall.  Maybe I am spoiled with some good bars in Houston with a nice selection of everything (wine, beer, liquor).  You can be a wine bar, and catter to others tastes as well.  Anyway, I was not a fan of the pizza I had either.  Way to garlicy, that borders on harsh.  And you taste it for a week after.  A nice enough spot, but one that I am not going to visit often.

I like this place alot. I just recently became a fan of wine because I met a friend who was and we went to the Wine Loft a few times. The outside area is a great place to sit and talk and enjoy the weather (assuming the weather is enjoyable). They tell me the wine selection is good but I dont have enough experience drinking it to say for myself. My only complaint is that you can't hear the music when you're sitting outside.

Sometimes, people in Lafayette like to pretend they're not in Lafayette.  Hence, the existence of places like the Wine Loft.

So I don't live in Lafayette anymore.  Who am I to judge?  All I know is it appears that River Ranch is the new downtown.

The Wine Loft is a nice space that could stand to have a little more seating.  The soft lighting is no match for the glare of the lights out in the parking lot.  

But there's a nice selection of wine and a few apps, including a tasty cheese plate.  If you're lucky to snag a seat at the bar, you're set for some good wine and good people-watching.
