The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

    The food and the drinks were excellent. We had the wood oven roasted oysters and they were cooked to perfection. I've had oysters several places around Lafayette where you could barely find the oyster, but this was not the case here; they were a good size. I had the Fish Katie (drum on this occasion) and my wife had the filet. They nailed the cook on the steak, which some restaurants have difficulty with. The wait staff was fun and friendly. Steven did an excellent job! Overall the restaurant was quiet. It was nice to have a conversation during dinner without having to lean in or speak up. I only have two qualms: 1. They charge 3% for using a credit card, which is fine, but they also charged sales tax on the surcharge. 2. When I made the reservations, I noted it was our anniversary, but they seated us at what I consider a busy table, where many people have to constantly pass. They were nice enough to allow us to sit at a quieter location; the place was not near full. I guess I should be more specific next reservation. Overall Ruffino's is definitely a place we need to visit more.
