Charley G's - Lafayette

Tonight was date night and Charlie G's was a great pick. Low light atmosphere at the bar, as there were no seats available otherwise. Hubby had to use the phone to see the menu. The service is spectacular, very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. The gumbo had the dark color we look for and was very filling. The tuna tartar was very fresh, nestled over a bed of seaweed salad. I am very picky when it comes to risotto, and I must say the wood grilled gulf shrimp, roasted butternut squash, lemon and parmesan risotto was worth getting again. The only fault is, the butternut squash was hard to find in the dish, a piece here and there. The special of the night, drum over lobster scampi, was cooked to perfection although maybe a little heavy on the lemon. Portion size is appropriate, but as fishermen we found the drum to be undersized. Overall, would recommend as a date night or special occasion.

It was fantastic! Emily was amazing, and every moment was enjoyable!

Charley G's consistently delivers the best dining experience in Lafayette. The service is always excellent, the food is delightful, and the atmosphere is just right for a special evening out. Since it opened its doors in 1985, it has been — and continues to be — our favorite spot in Lafayette. Few restaurants can withstand the test of time like this one!

If someone claims they visited Charley G's and didn't find everything absolutely amazing, they aren't telling the truth. There are only five stars available for ratings, but this place deserves ten. It's a PERFECT 10!

The food, service, and overall experience were truly exceptional. We casually mentioned that it was our anniversary, and the staff went above and beyond to create a gorgeous dessert with "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate. We definitely plan to come back!
