First time to dine at Park Bistro. I would recommend it to anyone for a great dining experience The food was excellent. We had the Salmon dish and chicken dish. Both were magnificent! Servers were friendly and on task. We could visit without having to raise our voice’s. The dining room was airy, cute and welcoming. The outdoor dining looks very nice as well as the bar area. Well done, we’ll be back.

About the restaurant
Bistro Byronz was born from the simple definition of a true bistro: an unpretentious neighborhood restaurant where friends and families gather day and night to relax, share conversation and enjoy good food and drink at reasonable prices. From that day on, we have prided ourselves in serving deliciously simple, bistro-inspired dishes done the Southern way — comfortable yet special, casual yet elegant, and a bit curious and undefined.

A Southern version of the quaint cafes in Paris, with the sophistication and casual flare of New York City bistros, incorporating the flavors, culture and lagniappe of Louisiana was to us the perfect and distinct approach.

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.

The relaxed but swinging music along with perfect lighting and energy make this this ultimate restaurant in Louisiana. I where Louisiana Comes to Celebrate!

We were 15 minutes early. Not a problem. We each ordered something different and all was delicious and fresh. Service was perfect even with the training of a new staff member. The noise level was perfect for those of us that are considered “seniors”. All and all we would certainly recommend Prejean’s either to locals and those passing through town. You will not be disappointed.
