Lafayette Dinner Recommendation - good drinks, good food, kinda laid back

I suggested Jolies, FP, Ruths or Ruffinos.... They wanted more "laid back"

Havent been to social, heard about it. Considered Johnsons Bouca... Maybe bon temps?

Johnson's is more of a lunch place. I'd recommend social.

Johnson's is a good lunch place, but it only has outdoor seating on a deck, and NO BAR. Don't even think they are open for supper. Not what you and your friends are looking for.

Bon Temps is a good choice.

Any of the Agave locations are pretty laid back, some outdoor seating, sometimes there is laid back live music.

The original partners, Bryan Jewell and Ryan Trahan, said in promotional materials they founded Brick & Spoon because they wanted “to spread the southern mojo across the country.” Jewell, however, left the business about four months ago to pursue an opportunity in Houston, Trahan tells ABiz. And now Trahan is parting ways with his investor, Blane Guillory, so that he can keep the original location true to its roots — literally. That means sourcing and preparing, along with chef Cory Bourgeois, foods from local purveyors — about 90 percent to be exact. Being part of a chain that buys in bulk is not his cup of tea, Trahan says, noting that the Orange Beach location does a good job of local sourcing as well.

The original concept for Brick & Spoon is no longer what Trahan envisioned. "It was supposed to be a southern experience," Trahan tells ABiz. "I want to do something I love to do. That’s my passion.”
