I cannot say enough nice things about this restaurant. The staff are always friendly, the owner is always present and welcoming. The food is excellent; and crafted cocktails are as delicious as they are imaginative. If that’s not enough the live music and charming atmosphere make this our goto spot for date nights. There are other great places to eat in Acadiana but this is a dinning experience that is second to none.

About the restaurant
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!
