Ruffino's on the River is a -Steak-Seafood-Italian restaurant and an experience in Food and Atmosphere like no others. Located in Lafayette, La. From the time you walk in and see the wood burning stove aflame, to the beautiful smiles on every Ruffino's team member's faces, you will have goose bumps on the back of your neck for the dining journey that awaits you. The scenes of the gorgeous Vermilion River where our outdoor patio looks over is breath taking. From our wonderful signature Crabmeat Cheesecake appetizer to our mind blowing Cedar Plank baked Redfish or our mouth watering Prime cut Steaks, the menu is diversive for everyone. The relaxed but swinging music along with perfect lighting and energy make this this ultimate restaurant in Louisiana. I where Louisiana Comes to Celebrate!

The table next to us was so loud we couldn’t hear each other talking. The rest of it was all we expected and more.

Everything about this restaurant and experience was exceptional! I’ve never been to Lafayette before and this was my first dinner and it was absolutely amazing. The cotton candy at the end of the meal was an excellent surprise!

Food and service were wonderful!
The Business/Casual dress code however was inconsistent. Upon arrival the young Eurasian looking hostess at the front desk tersely asked my 82 year old retired physician spouse to remove his hat, then robotically inquired as to how our day was going as she escorted us to our table.
We saw two other patrons dressed in dungarees and as we were leaving a patron wearing shorts, a tee shirt and flip flops.

Dom and the ladies of his service team were amazing. Food was delicious throughout and dessert was truly special with the anniversary surprise! 3 things only for improvement, for the love of all that’s good FLIP YOUR OYSTERS, let someone with a heeeeaaavy hand and a big upper arm salt that lasagna, and lastly Dom asked if I’d like to trade my asparagus for any other side if I didn’t like asparagus on my fish Katie, making it seem like I’m going to receive a side of asparagus, to only get three very undercooked spears on the Katie was a mildly funny joke. 8/10 will be back.
