The Filling Station will no longer be vacant. The Spoonbill Watering Hole & Restaurant will now occupy the historic building on the corner of 900 Jefferson St. in Downtown Lafayette with a possible opening date in the fall. Chef Jeremy Conner, Stephen Verret, and Adam Loftin are bringing this original restaurant concept to downtown Lafayette as Spoonbill Watering Hole & Restaurant to create an experience through South Louisiana’s cuisine & culture.
“The building is nostalgic to many within Acadiana. We want to glean from their success, and create a memorable experience that speaks to the nostalgia but in a modern way,” said Conner. “Our goal is to offer to the previous restaurant’s fans and their families a brand new, enlivened experience that extends that sense of place while creating something new and beautiful.”
Spoonbill Watering Hole & Restaurant will focus on telling a story through every area and element of the restaurant. From the moment someone enters the restaurant, they will see chefs preparing tantalizing dishes in the open kitchen, and bartenders making uniquely crafted cocktails at the large curved bar.
Spoonbill Watering Hole & Restaurant is expected to open this fall with a food menu, beverage program, and vibe that speaks to the adventurers, explorers, and all lovers of good times.
