Lafayette House

The turkey is great. One of the few restaurants that actually serves “real” fresh baked turkey not the processed kind that most restaurants serve. The wait staff is consistently excellent and most have been with the restaurant fir many years.

Whether you want a somewhat formal dining experience or a casual one, this place does both! The front entrance is for the more formal experience while the tavern downstairs (enter through the back) is a nice very warm quality cozy casual atmosphere with bar seating, table seating or booths. They also have an outdoor dining area next to the tavern entrance that is perfect for larger groups who want to have the same quality food as the upstairs but the casual atmosphere of the tavern. While the food is excellent, I wouldn 't consider necessarily consider it gourmet fare although the quality and care they put into their food is well above average. Their chef(s)? present and produce many delicious dishes, some hearty portions and have something for everyone and often specials both in the food and drink menus. Their staff work hard to make sure you 're satisfied and happy with your meal and truly go to great lengths to ensure your dining experience is great. The prices are, like all restaurants on the incline but you absolutely get what you pay for. (I ordered a dozen raw oysters and they were fresh, delicious and very reasonably priced at $25) Cocktails and specialty drinks can get pricey (I like a Grey Goose martini or two myself) but regardless of the top shelf vodka, I wasn 't shocked by the sticker price, and it wasn 't watered down or swapped for a cheaper vodka that I believe would be noticable to me. I 've had it happen, just not here. Overall I don 't generally give five stars to any place unless they really impressed me, so hopefully that carries some weight here. I 've been a customer of the Lafayette house for decades and they continue to impress me with their consistency, quality and kindness whether I drop in for a beer and app or sit down for a meal with friends and family. Note:. Some nights the tavern downstairs have live music, trivia and other entertainment, you might benefit to check before going if you just want a quiet or intimate meal.

The BEST Easter Brunch buffet! We had a later seating and the food was still abundant! Prime rib was excellent, so was the lamb. Many other dishes to sample. There was an omelette station. Excellent experience.

Came here for brunch recently. Everything was tasty and the service was very attentive. My only disappointment was that the Sunday brunch menu didn't have many exciting options. Very basic, but the price was good. We also got unlimited **** Marys and mimosas, which the staff were keen to refill, so I was happy about that. I would definitely return.

I came in this morning with a group of eight and I was very impressed from the greeting until the time we left. Our server and the hostess were awesome and the food was amazing. They really went above and beyond to handle a group. I definitely recommend.
