How does being large equate to success? Just curious.
Some of the posters have said the Lafayette space is too big and therefore will fail. He's just pointing out the BR location is big and they do well.
Some locations though have some cosmic alignment of detrimental factors and no restaurant ever seems to work there. I believe that that spot on the river where Ruffino's is located may be one of them.
Bako's location is one of those. 5 restaurants have been there and none of them have worked. City Club smack dab in the middle of River Ranch is another.

I'll add that Ruffino's in BR is also somewhat hard to get to.
Not that it's tucked away, but if you live in the Garden District, going out to that Highland Road exit's a bit of a haul.
Of course, the Garden District strikes me as more of a Juban's and Stroube's crowd. Ruffino's seems more like a Santa Maria/White Oak Landing crowd.
