If you couldn't find good food, you were probably looking in the wrong places. How could you not like:

I was born and raised in Lafayette and have probably lived over half my life there, on and off over 42 years, so yeah, I think I know where to look. Most of those places on your list are good to okay, none are great. As another poster pointed out, one problem is inconsistency. I've had some very good meals at Pamplona, and I've had some that were shockingly amateurish. That experience has been repeated at most of the white table cloth places in Lafayette. My biggest gripes with restaurants in Lafayette are that they're lazy, do things half assed, and there isn't a lot of variation in the menus. Plate lunches are a strong area for Lafayette. My point is that there are some good places, no great places, but I don't think the place qualifies as some kind of food mecca. Many homers tout Lafayette as the kind of place where you have to look hard to find bad food, and I think it's just the opposite.
