American Kitchen - Lafayette

If you complain in a review, the owner will refute your claims with an eloquent response that bears no responsibility even though every negative review is about him personally not the food nor the servers. Never again

As I had made the reservation, I had planned to pay the bill but since the owner had already accepted a credit card from one of my guests he would not accept my card as he said he did not want to be part of an argument. All he had to say to my guest was that I had made the reservation and that I planned to pay.

The food was good, and our server was good, but it’s not worth the attitude taken from the owner. He’s rude and will not seat you without a reservation. We had a reservation and even then we were told we weren’t “on his list” (and by that I mean the handwritten list made from writing down open table reservations) I explained that we made it about minutes prior, he said “I don’t check it all the time”, but looked us up on his phone and added us to the paper list. Why not just seat us? He said he would seat us in just a minute, he was “busy” then for minutes standing two feet away we were forced to watch him organize all the menus and take two phone calls. Every time we go he’s really rude, I won’t be coming back.

The crushed granite On the patio has almost turned to dirt. It feels dirty

Safe and friendly dining outdoors and yummy breakfast!
