  • How to make an impression: When picking up your date for the evening (2nd date) and she asks where you are going, tell her you decided to check out a local hotel...... with her daughter and her family in the room. I got some strange looks and her SIL made a point of stating we most likely would not be back in time to watch a movie. Lafitte's is most definitely a hotel restaurant. In place are the omelet station and self serve stations for breakfast/brunch. Although we thought we had arrived early for dinner (6PM) the place was slammed with two large dining parties and a large gathering in the lounge area and the banquet room full too. The dining room/lounge area appeared to have only one waitress and she was frazzled but holding up pretty well. She mentioned this was A) abnormal and B) the second night in a row like this. When my dining partner was in the restroom another diner mentioned her and her husband had come for a quiet dinner as this place was always deserted. When she did get to us to take our drink order she advised us to order everything before 2 large parties got their dinner order in or it would be a while. Turned out it was a while anyway, our total dinner stay was right at 2 hours. I had printed out a menu and on the way over we discussed what we might get and it turns out the actual menu is just enough different we changed our minds. We ended up with an appetizer of 2 crab cakes and she got a shrimp Po'boy which came with fries and I got the chicken Florentine which came with a salad, garlic mashed potatoes and some sauteed vegetables. We both decided the crab cakes had a nice ratio of crab to filler but we were not used to the seasonings. Why a salad of mixed greens needs to have some bitter stuff in itI don't know but this was another one I have come across that did. The blue cheese dressing was heavy on vinegar. Neither of us had had a shrimp Po'boy before and we both decided we liked it. We also both liked the chicken and I liked the mashed potatoes and vegetables although there was nothing spectacular about them. The house Merlot I had made Franzia look like a $40 a bottle wine. Of note, although I think it was because they were slammed. My salad came out before the appetizer and the crab cakes, although we made it well known we were sharing, did not come with a plate to share with. As we were getting up to leave the manager caught up with us and apologized for the less than stellar service. That was nice of her but we really didn't notice it that much because we were in a mood to sit and chat anyway. At no time did we feel rushed. We both decided it would be a place worth returning to. It's probably more a 3.5 but the evening was a pleasant one so I don't mind rounding up.
