Kathy and I usually get the fish special. This time the 4 of us ordered the fish special for this birthday celebration of our sister-in-law. WOW we cleaned the plates! It was 6 ounces of Red Fish on a stack of asparagus sitting in a luscious purée of butternut squash. This dish just became our favorite rendition of the fish special line!!! Service as usual incomparable to any other dining experience in Lafayette. Thank you Kate, Poet and Justin!!! Until the next time…

Wednesday is $8 burger night. Although none of us had a burger it’s a good value. The shrimp and grits were just what I needed for a delicious treat. Good value for the dollar.
