“ I came once before and had a slight issue with the steak I ordered. The owner Brandon gave me a call to resolve the issue and after my second visit, I loved it. Thank you Brandon for your invitation to return, it was well worth the second chance. The wagyu burger was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious. Id love to come back again. ”

“ So glad we stumbled upon this restaurant. The food was amazing and we started with the burrata appetizer which I didnt get a picture of before we started eating it but it is the best burrata I have ever had with fresh pesto, grilled bread, mango chutney, arugula and crispy prosciutto. I also had the best ribs I have ever had here too but didnt get a pic. The fries were homemade, full of flavor and crispy. You could tell the ingredients are quality and everything made from scratch. Definitely recommend. One of the best restaurants in Lafayette! ”
“ This was probably the best service weve had in a long time. Recent Purdue grad, Dillon was amazing. He took the time to make sure the meal our friend picked wouldnt have anything she was allergic to in it. This is a big deal. Shes spent the first month of this semester barely able to eat anything on campus. Dillon was personable, knowledgeable with the menu and brought us steamed towels for our ribs. The atmosphere is really nice but seemed louder in the front than the back. Bathrooms were clean. The food was wonderful. We all enjoyed our meals. I recommend the ribs and truffle fries! Reservations are a good idea if its a weekend or game daynight. We waited about 2025 minutes on a Friday night in February. There is a parking lot close. ”
“ Had an early dinner here my first time in Lafayette. The atmosphere was nice and had a nice small town feel. Service was prompt and our server was attentive to our needs. I started with the truffle fries and duck egg rolls. The truffle fries were great, but the egg rolls lacked flavor and needed a lot of dipping sauce. I ordered the seafood pasta and it was full of flavor. My portion size was perfect for leftovers later. My partner wasnt too fond of her pesto pasta however. Overall, we had an enjoyable time and I wouldnt mind dining here again the next time Im in Lafayette. ”
“ Amazing experience! Food is absolutely delicious. My partner and I had the housecut truffle fries, burrata, cauliflower steak, roasted pork chop, key lime panna cotta seasonal dessert, and mocktail lavendar mojito. Will definitely come here again next time were in town. Thank you so much Dylan for a memorable, lovely experience. ”
“ We made a same day reservation at 8 PM but we went earlier and theyre able to seat us right away. Overall service was prompt and pleasant each dish we ordered was served with excellence. Caesar salad dressing was well balanced and the croutons were crunchy. Ribs melt in your mouth and the full rack was definitely meant for two people to split up the plate. Dont know how one person could finish it. The filet mignon medium rare was cooked to exactly what we asked for. The steak hanger was tasty as well. It might have over sauced a little. Truffle fries were a perfect selection of a starter. I wish they would offer complimentary breadbutter. ”
