- Though large, Lafayette is designed to be your neighborhood French spot, with a built-in bakery and bistro-style cooking in a light and airy dining room. The bakery stays open after dinner so you can get something sweet on the way out
- Get the lemon pancakes with fresh berries at brunch, and then come back in the evening for an elegant and simple French dinner of wood-grilled local trout and duck au poivre
- A well-rounded wine list, featuring the different regions of France, offers a decent number of bottles around $40, though some are closer to $400
