re: Ruffino's Lafayette tonight

It was good. The wife and I each started with a salad. She had the sensation and I the lettuce wedge, both were good. As an entree she had the shrimp sorrento and said it was outstanding. I decided on the prime rib medium rare. The flavor and tenderness was very good but more medium plus than medium rare. Mine came with a side of mashed potatoes that were ok. We got cheesecake to go and ate it at the house. This was by far the worst part of the meal. I honestly think they made a mistake while making it. The texture was great but there was absolutely no hint of sweetness, I think they forgot the sugar. All in all, it was a good meal. I did not ask for Will or Morgan like Ruffin suggested for the "rockstar" treatment. I wanted to see how it would go as a regular patron. I will say this, the service was more than outstanding. Ruffin, if you read this you should consider the team wait staff concept in BR. Morgan said y'all were trying it here and I thought it was great. Your two managers were constantly floating around checking on guest and helping to clear tables. They did a great job. I will be back and look forward to when it opens for lunch.
