Restaurant review

[helblonde]

We went to dinner with my dad and grandparents last night at Roya's Garlic Garden in Lafayette. It was good. I recommend it.

I had lobster-stuffed filet mignon. It was really tender and juicy. It came with a bearnase and marsala sauces. I think next time I would just get the marsala. The entrees were served on wooden planks which added a smoky flavor. I didn't find the garlic to be overpowering in anything.

Roya came out and chatted with us. It was clear she remembered my grandparents. She teased my dad a little and comped me a desert when she found out they were taking me out for my birthday. The chocolate cake with Grand Marnier creme was quite nice, indeed.

The restaurant had a full bar with quite a selection of top-shelf scotches (which we didn't try this time).

sounds good, I'll have to give that a try sometime.

Lobster stuffed filet mignon?

I hate it when I drool on my keyboard.

Yeah. Normally when I see duck (l'orange) on the menu, I leap on that, but this was lobster and filet mignon. I couldn't resist.

Lafayette's close ... hmmmmm .... have to keep this place in mind. With "The Magic Garlic" closing a few years ago, I've missed a place like this ...
