Absolutely exquisite dinner! First place I’ve been to in Lafayette and I am so happy I drove by. The food was extremely thoughtful, while creating a modern take on traditional French cuisine. The soup I had was just incredible - the most comforting and flavorful starter. It was...Read More

Had Jane's again last night and it never disappoints. The wagyu steak filet with potatoes and asparagus was to die for. What a treat! The service was kind and laid back. I TOTALLY recommend for a special date night!
