The omlette was good and the rye toast was good. My husband had eggs definitely runny.
The waitress was busy. Difficult to get some things.

We were served omelets made to order with the cheese not melted. When we explained to the waitress, she asked what she could do about it. We asked to have a bit of money taken off our bill. She then said she would have to ask the manager. The manager came and looked clueless and said she would have to ask the chef. I’m not sure when the chef became the manager to determine any compensation for a poorly cooked meal. They all met in the back kitchen and then said that because we seated ourselves that was the problem. No, the problem was your inability to make an omelette and serve people in an appropriate manner. Everyone who came into the restaurant was seating themselves. If that was not proper, then you should’ve posted a sign to please wait to be seated. The food was highly mediocre. I would never eat here again and certainly never stay at this hotel again. The hotel is average at best, looking very rundown, and the staff is lackluster. Stay at the Blennerhasset if you want good food, competent staff, and to be treated with respect.

We were guests at the Lafayette and figured we would be stuck paying for Breakfast since there was no continental breakfast offered when we made our hotel reservations on line.

I’m sorry but I just can’t like this restaurant. We’ve been in for dinner and we have been in for breakfast. Neither one was good enough to eat here again. The history of the hotel is really interesting but that’s about where the allure ends for me. The lobby smells like mildew and the carpet in the restaurant however nostalgic with its little sternwheelers on it is gross.

Gun Room restaurant is a great place to visit for dinner. We, also, stopped in for their Sunday Buffet which adequate as well. Stopped in on a Saturday night which was busy. Food was delicious, I had the Shrimp Jambalaya and Caesar Salad. 10 out 10 on the food. You won’t be disappointed. Our waitress was another story.
She, an older lady, appeared to be overwhelmed – we along with other tables she waited grew concerned with what was going on with her and wondered why she made herself scarce. It got to a point to where we had (and other tables) hailed other waitresses to get meals, orders taken or even water refills. We still left a tip.
Outside of that, you’ll enjoy the atmosphere of the Gun Room. You’ll enjoy the food. We would, definitely, stop by there again.
