I had to take out one of the pieces, as 3 is just too much personally. I would say, outside of the herb sauce, and the prosciutto I really am not sure why it's $18. That's threw me off a bit. Do I think it's worth the money? Not necessarily, but I would go back with friends to try it all again. The service was okay, we were not checked on a whole lot. I had to remind her about a sauce I wanted. Mind you the restaurant wasn't busy, so that was kind of meh. However when at our table she was very kind and helpful! When we walked in we were just sort of stared at by the host , we were asked like "how many" or "how are you" so we walked in and made eye contact and we waited a couple of seconds and I told him 3 please and we got seated! I'm somewhere between 3/4 stars for this one!

It's a small place, specializing in coffee prep, small menu, pastries, coming from a small kitchen. All ingredients taste fresh and are made to order, so there will be a wait, but it's worth it. We both had the day's special, which was a breakfast pizza with eggs, cheese, mixture of meats, green onions, cilantro, red and sweet peppers on flatbread. No skimping on ingredients here, and we both took some home. Hubby had French Press coffee, which is a stronger brew. He liked it very much. I chose the Bon Matins which was a latte with white chocolate and brown sugar. Delish! Only negative was that on a busy day, it's a small place, may have to wait outside. Even in the morning in Louisiana, that can be hot. Temp was great today, so a small wait was no problem.

We really enjoyed the duck fat fries and the beef carpaccio salad but the $4 happy hour drinks had the best value.

A huge shoutout to Issac and Emily for making our night special as we will definitely be back to try more things!

This is a very popular restaurant. We could not get reservations on the evening we were there so…read morewe were put on a wait list. I never heard back so I called around 6:30 to see if there were any open seats at the bar. There wasn't but the person who answered said the bar seats change over pretty quickly. We took a chance and when we arrived got the only 2 seats left at the bar.Score!! By 7:30 there were plenty of seats at the bar and several tables available. This is definitely a local place and we had a great time talking with the people near us. The food was good. Carpaccio was good but in my opinion there were way too many crispy onions on top that distracted from the dish. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. The escargot were tasty. The octopus was tasty but the few tiny pieces on the plate were really weak for the price. I had a Malbec that was delicious.

The cheese was melted perfectly on top and the oysters themselves were super fresh -- not fishy at all. I was literally scraping the plate for the extra sauce because it was THAT good.

Definitely coming back for another round.

The little French bread that comes with the meal is delicious and I'm not a bread eater! The packaging and service is very safe and clean! Yes, I recommend this place! Cheers!

----------UPDATE----------…read more Went for the 2nd time this past weekend and it was even better than the first time. My Wife ordered a Cosmo which was arguably the best flavored Cosmo we have ever had. I ordered a Pineapple Mochi beer, it was delicious and paired well with all of our food. The drinks are a 10/10 easy. We started with a Caesar Salad, Crawfish Bisque and Chargrilled Oysters. The salad was really good but the bisque was better imo. It was very flavorful and the thinly sliced jalapeños and lobster oil really added to the depth of flavor. The bisque also contained crawfish tails. Unfortunately, the oysters were not that great. Small in size and lacked flavor and needed a sauce or more cheese and herbs. Caesar Salad - 8.5 Bisque - 9.2 Oysters - 7.5 For mains we got a Filet, 16oz. Ribeye and Mac N Cheese. The filet was better than our first visit. The temperature, tenderness and flavor was better. The Ribeye was tender and had great flavor although, it also had a good bit of fat which needed to be cut off. Which is what sets apart the top tier steak restaurants. When you order steak there isn't much far or gristle. The Mac N Cheese is also up there with some of the best Mac N Cheese we have ever had. The cheeses that are used, the bubbly cheesy crust and flavor are perfect. Filet - 9.4 Ribeye - 8.9 Mac N Cheese - 9.6 We ended the meal with a Mousse Cake. It contained a brownie bottom with chocolate, vanilla and raspberry mousse on top. It was served alongside a scoop of coffee gelato. Mousse Cake - 9.1 The service and atmosphere were great, just like the first time. Not a bad seat and the waitress was really nice and helpful.

We came not expecting much, but once we started eating their food, it really changed our mind. The chef did just a great job and the drinks were very playful and reminds of you of a tiki bar. We had almost the whole menu on two separate occasions. We had the following: -Soy Glazed Spam Musubi - spam, seasoned rice wrapped in nori, topped with sunny side egg -Maye Belle's Wings (Tonkatsu BBQ & Seoul Hot) - both flavors were delicious, and the pineapple relish was bomb -Bun Stuff - gochujang pork belly, sunny side eggs in a bao -Street Corn - char grilled corn, oxaxaca cheese and fixings -Tuna Stack - tuna, guacamole and toppings, served with wonton chips -Gringo Nachos - spam nachos with wonton chips, enough said! -Pork Banh Mi Sliders - pork patty, hawiian roll, banh mi fixings -Blistered Shishito Peppers - these peppers were delicious! -Sticky Spare Ribs - char siu, fall off the bone ribs -Teres Major Tataki - not your average beef tataki, tender and flavorful -Curry Favor - curry rubbed pork belly, kimchi and coconut cream, so good! -Guacamole - served with wonton chips -Maybe Fries - delicious fries with their maybe flakes -Poke Bowl (Tuna) - tuna poke with the fixings Everything we had was delicious! Check out their drinks too, they were really good! Check @eatinglafayette on Instagram and Facebook for more Lafayette food things!

First time here, awesome experience. Great bartender slash server, you look at the menu then go to…read morethe bar to order, He even made mock cocktails for us as we don't drink. On to the delicious Korean fusion delights. Tuna stack served on the avocado was great, so flavorful, the fried wontons made for a awesome bite. Street corn very good, mix everything together for best bite The pork banh mi sliders was over the top good, the savory of the meat, and sweetness of the slider bun (Hawaiian bread) was a perfect match. Teres major tataki very well prepared and sauce went well. The star of the show was the sticky spare ribs, so tender and you pick the glaze, the char siu marinade made this along with the tonkotsu bbq sauce just added more flavor, also the portion was nice. Will definitely return, we need to try other menu items.
