Jane's French Cuisine - Lafayette

Oh my goodness! What can I say? The attention to detail was incredible! Each course was outstanding—the venison, the scallops, and if you think you know carrot cake, you haven't tasted this one! The staff was equally impressive. It was the most wonderful dining experience we've had in a long time.

My wife and I had our second visit, and it was just as amazing as the first. The seasonal menu changes were very exciting, and we had the hands down best pork, salmon, and sweet breads dishes I've ever eaten. If you haven't had the pleasure of a dinnerhere yet, I can't recommend it enough. Words really don't do it justice.

The place is lovely and quaint, it was a romantic atmosphere, had dim lighting, and looked to have maybe 10 or so tables. The hostess was phenomenal! She absolutely helped make our experience memorable. We?ve eaten at some incredible restaurants all overthe country, and I have to gush at the attention to plating detail and the sheer quality of the food was top notch.!The.dishes.were.delicious! Our favorites were the tuna tartare and the wagyu ribeye. I believe the menu is regularly subject tochange, so you MUST check in again the following month if what?s listed currently is not to your taste! Do not sleep on thislittle gem! ??

1. There is a $40 reservation fee. 2. The kitchen is quite small, staffed by only two cooks/chefs, which means you will be waiting for hours for your food. 3. They tend to overbook, and the chef struggles to prepare meals for customers in a timely manner. This reflects poorly on both the management and the chef. 4. If you're planning to do anything later in the evening, think twice about dining here—expect at least an hour wait for your entrée (if not longer), and at least a 30-minute wait for the appetizers you ordered beforehand. 5. The manager and chef show little consideration for their customers. You won't receive complimentary water while you wait hours for your meals; every bottle of water costs over $6.00. There’s no complimentary bread offered either, which would help ease the inconvenience of the long wait times. On the bright side, the food itself is fantastic: 1. The butternut squash soup: 10/10 2. The bread and butter: 10/10 3. The Salmon Wellington puff pastry: 10/10 4. The Chicken Ballotine: 10/10 While the food is delicious, the long wait made us feel trapped, waiting from 7:55 PM to eat. That's not enjoyable. Given the lengthy wait and the high prices, I don’t think I’ll return.

The best meal I've enjoyed in Lafayette in quite some time! We’re looking forward to returning, particularly to explore the new seasonal menu. I’m so grateful to have a restaurant of this quality in our city. The atmosphere was just as beautiful as the food.
