32 Lafayette Circle, Lafayette
I recently stopped by for a peek inside the long awaited family restaurant The Cooperage American Grill which is scheduled to open this Sunday, March 2nd in downtown Lafayette. As expected, the remodel looks amazing with reclaimed wood from Petar’s being used throughout the restaurant.
Check out their dinner menu here. Brunch will be offered on March 15th (see menu here), with lunch available on March 24th (see menu here). Of interest is the Cooperage Burger, “8 oz. Angus burger, lettuce, tomato, pickle, red onion jam, toasted bun, Kennebec French fries” for $13. I can’t wait to try this! Reservations can be made on their website here.
From their website:
The Cooperage American Grille, locally owned by Lafayette Residents, Andrew and Merilee McCormick, is a rotisserie-inspired american grill. Chef Erik Hopfinger’s extensive menu features American favorites like slow roasted chicken prepared in a glass-encased rotisserie oven, New York steak, beef tenderloin, and our signature burger (made with our own meat grinder at the grill). The Cooperage also offers healthier options, including a selection of salad entreés made with local and organically grown ingredients.
The Cooperage is comfortable for families dining with children and features a large bar area with flat screen TV’s, 12 beers on tap, eight wine selections on tap, and vintage cocktail list.
The inside is huge, check out the bar area below:
