Lafayette on the Square

To start, reservations are needed. We have yet to just walk in but this place is busy. We were seated quickly and were brought bread and water, with the drink order taken. Great bloody Marys here. I had shrimp and grits on e and a Cajun dish the second time we were there. Both excellent! Staff is great and great parking too. Highly recommend.

We finally made the 45-minute drive to Lafayette on the Square after hearing so many great things—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We went on Valentine’s Day and chose the four-course meal. We split the truffle fries and fried oysters to start—both were exceptional. I mean, how can you go wrong with truffle anything? I had the roasted garlic and bell pepper soup in a tomato base. It looked thick but had a light consistency and was bursting with flavor without being too heavy. My wife had the salad with the famous honey jalapeño dressing, and it was just as good as we remembered. For entrées, I took a chance on the 1886 lasagna (shrimp allergy limited my options), and I’m glad I did. The vodka sauce was outstanding—easily one of the best lasagnas I’ve ever had.

Paired with a vibrant succotash—sweet corn, creamy lima beans, and a whisper of heat—it’s a dish that feels both rustic and refined. ### 🍝 **Cajun Pasta That Redefines the Genre** Forget everything you thought you knew

Absolutely terrible. This is the second time I’ve been here. The first time was the day before Valentine’s Day. Tonight, I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with no broccoli. Came out with Broccoli, no big deal, I sent it back and it came back about a minute later come to find out they just “picked it out” and brought it back to me. There are still little pieces of it in there. I send it back again and they do the same thing, pick it out and bring it back. Definitely not how things should be ran.
