    The Bombay Club is a wonderful experience! Visiting there is a perfect way to spend an evening - the atmosphere, the delicious creative food, the ambiance - all contribute to a special evening. We have visited a number of times and each time makes us want to return again. You absolutely can’t go wrong dining here.

    I made reservations with OpenTable during Valentin's Day weekend. We came in and got seated immediately. Our server was Alexa. She was phenominal with giving suggestions for drinks, food, and specials. I got the heavenly eggs, and my fiance got collard greens dip. Excellent. I went with the chicken and specialty waffle of the month, which was red velvet. Crispy, flaky waffle, not overbearing seasoned chicken, and give you the option of whitw or dark meat with you waffles. I also had a side of yams and macaroni & cheese. My fiance got banana pudding waffles and a side of lobster mac. Everything was delicious. We got the special dessert, which was the Strawberry Trifle. So good. Not overly sweet. 10/10 recommend. Now I have got to find the number for them to cater my wedding!

    We had a great meal, it was Valentine's Day so they had a pre- fixed menu, which I didn't know was going to be the case when I booked the table. It worked out fine, though I was looking forward to their regular menu or first time dining there. Service was excellent, now at all hurried, despite the busy night, and we enjoyed all 3 courses.

    The food is wonderful - always above average (it's on the small side though) I have eaten at The Lafayette often - nice for a special evening. Every bite was extremely flavorful. A beautiful experience. The piano melodies make the atmosphere regal. * * * * *
