Customer Reviews
Took a ride out to Cafe’ Jefferson Sunday 2/22/26 with my brother Gerald to have a afternoon lunch.. We both ordered the crab meat, au gratin.! PICTURES ATTACHED.! It was the BEST EVER in a restaurant that I have ever had. Not 1 shell in either dish and it was FULL of crabmeat and had a cheese cream sauce that was absolutely delicious. Best ever and with the short drive from Lafayette. Service was superb and restaurant was immaculately clean.! 25 stars if I could. Please share the love and go visit this place with all the peacocks walking around the property and in the trees.! The view from the restaurant looking at the lake is breathtaking with the old Oak trees throughout.! Wonderful experience as usual..
💯 views ,whether sitting inside or outside! 💯 ambiance, vibes with light instrumental music 💯 food 💯 customer service by Mallorie! Great place to have lunch, meet friends, dates and such a wonderful vibe here of relaxation and good times! Come on out and enjoy a great lunch outside or inside! Peacocks are roaming and provide a nice view of peace bringing to your day!
We came for lunch on a Monday afternoon around 12. The hostesses were quick to accommodate our party of 14! The service was excellent. I had the seafood bisque and it was heavenly. Everyone around me was also enjoying their food immensely. If you come visit the Rip Van Winkle gardens I highly recommend stopping by Cafe Jefferson! Especially because the peacocks will greet you as you leave on the patio!
The gardens I must say are stunning, the most beauriful ronantic Ive ever been to. Something out of the Notebook. Loved loved everything about this place
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We arrived an hour early to set up for a 14-person bridal luncheon, carrying all the things that come with a special celebration. We were greeted by a new manager who initially only knew the size of our party — not that it was a bridal event — yet she handled everything with absolute grace. Although she was under strict instructions that nothing could be attached to the glass tabletops, she immediately began offering creative solutions instead of limitations. With the day being so beautiful, she thoughtfully helped us rearrange seating on the porch to perfectly accommodate both our décor and our group size. Her attentiveness, flexibility, and calm presence made the entire experience feel effortless and peaceful. We were able to truly enjoy the moment, surrounded by a gorgeous
