3 reviews for L'affair Cafe
Amazing!!! The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD and the service couldn't be more attentive!
You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but my favorites are:
The warm spinach salad - the dressing is excellent!
The Jambalaya - some of the best I have ever had, even when in New Orleans.
Any of the fish in the New Orleans Burbon Sauce. Flavorful and creamy, without overpowering the fish.
If you are looking for a place to celebrate an occasion, this is the place to do it! They also have a BEAUTIFUL outdoor covered patio that is perfectly charming for bridal/baby showers or larger parties. This is the only place I go to celebrate my birthday with my family. Keep an eye out in local mailers for a 1/2 off coupon.
THIS PLACE IS A TRUE GEM! Shoehorned between an Arby's and a Paint Store...it is a great little place and the food, atmoshere and service are EXCELLENT. DO NOT MAKE MISTAKE OF PASSING IT UP!. Stop and go in!. You step into it and will be VERY surprised. The menu is great and food excellent. Not exactly cheap but well worth the price for sure. This is a unexpected "upscale" experience - think better restaurants downtown or West LA. White linen tablecloths and napkins. Daily specials. EXCELLENT and broad dessert menu! I LOVE THIS PLACE! Small and intimate atmosphere. Try the spicy pasta dish!
No I don't give EVERYTHING 5 stars but man o man...the food at this place is fabulous!!! Having just finished off the little piece of leftover Filet from L'Affair Cafe, I have to say this place is the true definition of a hidden gem. Started with the bruschetta, the balsamic was perfection, just a little sweet and it perked up the buffalo mozzarella creating a very tasty tangy star. I then had the French onion soup ..... I happen to believe that there is no such thing as too much cheese and they didn't disappoint me at all, it was a cheese fest that only enhanced the seriously dark, rich broth and sweet onions inside, add the crunchy crouton topping baked all golden brown and bubbly and you have one of the best onion soups I have ever had..... The blackboard specials are always an interesting mix of old delicious standbys like lamb shank in a merlot sauce , and pork medallions in a honey mustard sauce to the outstanding ,saffron infused paella and the linguini jambalaya. Flavors and sauces all put together in a very nice - not too expensive package. bout the same as most of the steak houses (The filet was $33). Our table ordered the Chilean Sea bass in a sun dried tomato cream sauce that was wonderfully tender and juicy we also had the rack of lamb which never fails to live up to perfection, but for me it was the filet that is really the star, yummmmmm.... meat.... Ok so I have Neanderthal tendencies from time to time, but there is nothing better that a FLAVORFUL Filet. It had a great sear/char around the edges, still extremely tender and yet not quite as much flavor as a rib eye but surprisingly close. I have been there several times (since it's right around the corner from me) the older waiter who has worked there for a very long time is incredibly attentive, polite and not too overly chummy (I really hate that) and also very intuitive.... as on more than one occasion he was there right whenever we needed a refill or ready to omove onto the next course....
This French Bistro-esque restaurant is most definitely worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood. The parking is adequate but a little weird as there is only a one lane entrance going in and out, don't let the locale fool you as it's next to Hamer Toyota and Arby's...I know a lil' scary...... but trust me this place is REALLY good.
