A perfect fusion of American classics and Louisiana dishes cooked over open wood-fueled flame , served up in a comfortable and modern concept.

Came on recommendation from two different locals who said this was the best restaurant in Lafayette. We were not disappointed.

Reservations were needed, but the hostess was able to accommodate us by the kitchen. It worked out GREAT. Was able to see the chef, Sullivan, and his crew perform their magic on each of the dishes.

This isn’t just a steakhouse, it’s an experience. I found the environment warm and ambient, reflecting the chef’s vision. The service was amazing and the food immaculate. The cocktails are fun too. The restaurant fits perfectly with Lafayette’s downtown essence as well. It’s an experience I won’t forget.
