    The team is always on point. Today we had the Shrimp Burger and Chicken and Waffles - with a side of Brussels (you have to get a side - no question) and everything was delicious. I wish they were in my neighborhood! Lafayette is lucky to have them.

    Christmas Eve dinner! The food was absolutely delicious. Had the crabmeat cheesecake to start which was excellent. My family ordered the 12 oz steak, grilled Chilean sea bass with caper cream sauce, and the veal shank! My son loved the cheese pizza also!

    There were three in our party. The calamari was superb! Very light and crispy. We had the tomato basil soup, grilled cheese sandwich, spaghetti and meatball and veal marsala. All of it was excellent.
