Editorial Review for Cafe Lafayette – by Drew Pisarra
In Short
This small neighborhood favorite is the definition of cozy with its tiny Formica tables, ever-changing artwork and dropped tin ceiling. Up front, a large bay window provides a basement view of the neighborhood; at the rear, the tiny open kitchen serves up a limited variety of dishes: fish and chips, Thai chicken and hamburgers with caramelized onions all co-exist without any concerns about culinary common ground.

the food is consistently great! i had the salmon for the first time tonight and it was better than some seafood restaurants i've been to. i've had practically everything on their menu as i dine out alot but their burgers and mussels with fries are what bring me there every friday night. the servers are always pleasant and even charming at times. And where else in this ever changing neighboorhood can you still gather with your friends for a great meal and a glass of wine for $20 or under? and now they take credit cards!
Pros: food, backgrond music, wait staff
Cons: hard to find parking

I've worked in food service and I'm pretty forgiving especially when the server is busy. Today was surreal. The waitress actually gave me a dirty look when I asked for another cup of coffee and then kept walking without saying anything and never came back to the table! Never! Our food took about 40 minutes and she never came back to the table. When the food did come it was great, as always. I had to shout to get the check because she refused to make eye contact with anyone at our table. She smiled and nodded and twenty minutes later we still didn't have the check!? It was amazing. It was like she wanted us to walk out on the bill and not tip. We did neither of those things, but I've never been so tempted.
Pros: Great Food, Reasonably priced, smoking on the patio
Cons: EVIL WAITRESS!, tight quarters, busy on the weekend
