    I was a solo diner this last Saturday night at Lafayette. While it was crowded, they nonetheless gave me a very pleasant table. It was crowded. The food, as usual, was excellent. I had the frisee salad, which I always enjoy, and the trout. Very tasty.

    We were all very disappointed at our experience at Lafayette. The service was abominable. We were ignored the entire time. The food was incredibly mediocre. We have been here before-but this experience was nowhere like what we had experienced in the past. We took a vote after the meal and decided it wasn’t worth coming back here again.

    Lafayette in New York never disappoints! I first visited with my girlfriends for my birthday, and this time, I went with my family—it was just as wonderful. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the service is excellent, and the food is absolutely delicious. Every dish is beautifully presented and full of flavor. Whether for a special occasion or a casual outing, Lafayette is always a great choice. Highly recommend!

    Nice atmosphere - had the short rib burger which was very good and came with a huge basket of excellent skinny fries.

    Lafayette used to be one of our favorite places for a NYC breakfast or brunch but the quality has gone down dramatically. Our waiters, while super nice, were swamped and our food took forever to arrive- and it arrived cold. Cold omelet with a cold price of ham shoved on top at the last moment, cold oatmeal- yuck, underdone, not-crispy potatoes. The famous Lemon-Ricotta pancakes were still delicious but the portion was tiny- come on dudes, it’s flour and water- throw the customers a bone and add another flapjack. Anyway, thoroughly disappointed the past few times we visited and will look for another “favorite” spot going forward. Sad but true.
