American

The warm and inviting ambience Café Lafayette has cultivated is matched by its delectable take on American cuisine. Inventive and sharable appetizers include the crunchy panko-coated eggplant chips and the tangy goat cheese stuffed dates wrapped in prosciutto. Café Lafayette has an array of burgers and sandwiches, like the Kobe beef burger and the pulled pork sandwich, as well as an array of pizzas. Entrée items include the grilled bratwurst with warm potato salad, the roasted chicken in an artichoke curry sauce and the plum-glazed salmon with mango salsa. Daily breakfast, with items such as the stuffed French toast Napoleon, the egg, bacon and avocado bacado wrap and the Cajun sausage egg scramble. Café Lafayette is all about fresh fare prepared with a comfort food twist, which is always enjoyable.

It's not about the view or the romance - simply the food is amazing! The service is exceptional as well :)

The biggest problem we encounter with the restaurant is the lack of servers -- typically only one server for about 15 tables.

Whenever I get a chance to have dinner in Seal Beach, I always pick Cafe LaFayette. Food is excellent (we both had their fish and chips) and service is tops!!

An unusual mix of old and contemporary, the Lafayette Café in Seal Beach is a great place to stop in for lunch. The crowd was mostly older locals but the vibe was still energetic and upscale. My Chicken Panini (sandwich) was delicious and our server was relaxed but efficient and friendly.

This restaurant was perfect for a date. The place is cozy and the service is good. The food was excellent and the chef came out to ask how it was. I like that in a restaurant.

They were busy and wanted to use just two people to serve. Not enough. Staff appropriately. Please do not thank me for being patient. I paid for service. A duck dish for $26 and you provide a leg and thigh only.

Real nice place to eat. Food was delicious. Will return. The only downfall is the parking. Restaurant is located on a very busy street with meter and two hour parking (not good), aside from the parking this will be one of my favorites.

Had a great time bringing my mom, who was visiting from out of state. Nice "local" scene and just good ambience! She enjoyed everything about CL.
