I'd stopped in for a beverage, during "Rhythms On The River", but I'd never been to the Village Cafe' for dinner. It was delightful! The Village Cafe' in River Ranch is the best of both worlds, casual atmosphere, and elegant food.

CJ and I had a wonderful lunch Wednesday at Antler's and let me tell you, if you work downtown you are one lucky person. If you don't, make it a point to be lucky at lunchtime!
Even before you walk into Charley G's, you can smell the grill. It makes you walk just a little bit faster to get to the door!!
Charley G's is very proud of their 'product', as they should be:
A cupcakery. Cup-Cakery. I love that name. Lil Bite O' Heaven is a cupcakery, run by a cup-cakery lady named Teresa, who is just as passionate about her cupcakes (and cupcakery) as she is about life itself.
Teresa is very proud of her creations (all made from scratch!!), and she is honored to be a part of Eat Lafayette!
I recently had the opportunity to visit Fezzo's (in an 'official' capacity this time!) for lunch a few weeks ago, as they are taking part in the annual Eat Lafayette campaign. Their Eat Lafayette special? Chargrilled Oysters!!
