Evan, our server was excellent and attentive to our requests. We came specifically for the salad bar and the lobster bisque, not knowing they don’t serve the lobster bisque at lunch. Evan as well as the host went back to the kitchen and made sure we got the bisque we came for! Phenomenal service and attitude towards customer satisfaction. Well done!

Not far from the Gulf of Mexico, Vermillion River, and Atchafalaya Swamp is Lafayette, Louisiana. The town's closeness to these bodies of water makes fresh-water fish and seafood among the most popular foods. Restaurants in Lafayette specialize in Cajun and Creole styles of cooking, which were originated by the people who settled here generations ago. Cajun classics like gumbo, red beans and rice, and po'boys are all popular. In Lafayette, you'll also find classic American burgers and Southern dishes like chicken-fried steak. Be sure to try beignets, a deep-fried Louisiana pastry. Topped with powdered sugar or served with dipping sauces, these are eaten for breakfast and dessert.
