re: a little help please

Don's is very crowded at lunch, so either go early or a little late or be prepared to wait just a bit. I love going there because it reminds of when I was a child.

Don't know about the greatest restaurant in Lafayette, but you might investigate Nash's or Poboy's Riverside if they're open on Sunday nights. I've enjoyed both. The atmosphere at Nash's is very conducive to date dining and I would imagine it would be festively decorated that time of year. It's a neat Victorian house.

Sunday night might be tough.

If they're not open on Sundays, then you might just have to eat on top of Choc's van down by the river.
