Lagniappe Brasserie

Wow, so tasty. Food was amazing, chefs were accommodating to gluten free options, Sally our waitress was also great. We are looking forward to eating here again.

I'm not sure whether to review this place as fine dining (not) or casual dining. My wife and I had dinner on a Saturday night. I'd expect them to be on their game. I prefer a wait staff that is polite, helpful and largely transparent. Our experience was a folksy waiter who thought we wanted to be entertained with jokes and one-liners. Helpful? I asked if he had any recommendations from the menu, and he had to excuse himself to ask someone who might know. The frumpily dressed gentleman with shirt hanging out in back didn't dump any food or beverages on us. If that's the standard of excellence, thumbs up. The food was not offensive. I had to ask for a sharper knife to cut my meat, not a good sign. It was overcooked as well, but by this point of the dinner my expectations had been sufficiently lowered.

I had the duck special and my wife had the steak. Both fantastic. Seriously. Fantastic. Kind of a $plurge but worth it. Filling portions, and memorably flavorful. Staff was great. Overall just one of the nicest dining experiences in recent memory. By the way, it’s pronounced “LAN yap.”
