I had the special last night, steak and seafood. (was AMAZING). We usually do not go during the weekday, but we love to hear Kaleb play. We love how the staff treat us like family. If you are looking for a spot for date night this is the perfect place. We never feel rushed to have to eat and pay our bill. Perfect spot to eat, relax, have a few drinks and listen to great entertainment.

We made reservations for a birthday celebration. We were seated in the bar area as requested. The staff was friendly and did not rush us, so we were able to relax and enjoy the evening. The food and service were impeccable. The piano music was an added plus which makes your dining experience at Charley G’s even more special!

Be real. Eat good. It is all about being true to who you are: sharing with friends and family and enjoying each other's company over a good meal. The ingredients are always fresh and that is the cornerstone of our farm-to-table approach. It's talking about dinner when you're having lunch. Have you got some positive energy to share? Or maybe your grandmother's recipe for cobbler?

Chef Troy Bijeaux wants to welcome everyone to Cafe Josephine. We have many spectacular dishes, but our signature dishes are both our steaks and oysters. They can be seen getting prepared and cooked at our oyster bar. Its a great time to speak with Chef and others around you.

The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The seafood platter had a lot of food and was delicious as well. The fried ribeye was cooked so tender and again tasted delicious. Service was great. Can’t wait to go back.

Food was good, steak was cooked a bit more than I like it but was tasty. Wait staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s a nice quite a little bit romantic place to take a date. I’d go again.

A cozy petite restaurant with a great vibe. Very good and attentive staff. I would describe the menu as being as small as the restaurant itself. We enjoyed the food there a great deal. Definitely will return in the future.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at R/C — Marquiz was patient and deliberately brought our plates to the table at the right time. The cuisine was awesome as well

About the restaurant
Ruffino's on the River is a -Steak-Seafood-Italian restaurant and an experience in Food and Atmosphere like no others. Located in Lafayette, La. From the time you walk in and see the wood burning stove aflame, to the beautiful smiles on every Ruffino's team member's faces, you will have goose bumps on the back of your neck for the dining journey that awaits you. The scenes of the gorgeous Vermilion River where our outdoor patio looks over is breath taking. From our wonderful signature Crabmeat Cheesecake appetizer to our mind blowing Cedar Plank baked Redfish or our mouth watering Prime cut Steaks, the menu is diversive for everyone. The relaxed but swinging music along with perfect lighting and energy make this this ultimate restaurant in Louisiana. I where Louisiana Comes to Celebrate!

About the restaurant
The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.
