The service was impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, with every detail meticulously attended to. The staff’s knowledge of the menu and wine pairings was impressive, guiding us through a culinary journey that felt both personalized and indulgent....read full review
We went for our Anniversary on March 20th 2024. It was out first time.
We both enjoyed everything. It was very romantic. Jessie was our waitress who made us feel right at home. Even brought us some chocolate cheese cake for out anniversary. It was good. I would def recommend and go back..
I have always loved Ruffinos but we went for our daughters Masters degree celebration. The hostess and waiter asked if we were celebrating anything special and we mentioned our daughters Masters degree. NOTHING was sent out to celebrate this event, so why ask. We spent $$$ which is fine
But why ask. Definitely will think of another place to celebrate a special occasion next time.

Based on the reviews, Ruffino's On The River offers a great atmosphere with delicious food and excellent service. The service is described as phenomenal, incredible, and 5-star, with staff who are attentive but not intrusive and provide great recommendations for wine, cocktails, and food. The food is delicious, with specific meals like the Fish Katie (with drum fish) being tender, rich, and flaky, and the filet (Oscar style) being melt-in-your-mouth tender and cooked a perfect medium rare. Other menu items mentioned include the bolognese, a burger, the lamb on spinach risotto (special), and the crab meat cheesecake. A complementary cotton candy at the end of the meal is a unique touch. The restaurant is considered an absolute little gem and great value. Many reviewers plan to return to this restaurant when back in Lafayette.
