Lafayette Inn & Restaurant

*Mostly only speaking about restaurant* My son and I stopped in about 2 months ago when another restaurant was closed. The experience was a bit weird as a first-timer not knowing how the place operated. I was confused on how to be seated. Anywho, there were some gluten-free options, but not too many, especially for children. Also, I asked multiple times if certain things were gluten-free, and was told they were, but then I heard the waitress ask the kitchen. The waitress was so-so friendly, as she did check in a bit, but did ask another waitress for assistance. The staff didn’t really seem interested in myself or my son, more so the other tables. I get the vibe that this place isn’t kid-friendly. I did not feel welcome. Lastly, did not enjoy the bathroom being upstairs. I did not see an elevator if someone was wheelchair bound. The “guy” at the top of the stairs is creepy (statue). However, overall the food was good. I appreciate the water at the table in a glass bottle with lemon. Also, the reusable napkins. The flourless chocolate cake (gluten-free) was pretty good, but very rich. Lastly, I feel I would not recommend this place. Not sure if I would return.

Delicious food. Chef worked with my gluten allergy and was very accommodating. Staff was kind and courteous.Romantic and candlelight atmosphere with a tempting fire made for a wonderful one year wedding anniversary dinner at our favorite spot in Virginia.
