I would think one is looking for a very different dining experience when going to Ruffino's or going to Carraba's.

You said in a previous post that you believed Lafayette is a food town and not a restaurant town. If that's the case then Lafayette will choose the location that provides them with the best type of meal at the most economical price point.. (Because people that know how to cook won't spend alot of money at a restaurant just because it's a place to see and be seen.)
I've looked at the proposed menu for Ruffino's Lafayette and frankly there's nothing that thrills me about the offerings... in fact, it looks a lot like Carraba's, with fewer options.
