LAFAYETTE, La. ( KLFY ) — Drago’s Seafood Restaurant will close its Lafayette location at 3151 Johnson Street, according to owner Tommy Cvitanovich.
Drago’s, a New Orleans based restaurant, will be closing its Johnston Lafayette location on Feb. 17. The location originally opened its doors on Sept. 15, 2017. A dinner only menu will be offered until the doors are closed for good at the close of business on Feb. 17.
Sunset officer says he was fired for refusing to follow unethical order
The restaurant’s closure is said by Cvitanovich as part of the large wave of eateries closing their doors due to financial and other challenges, like an increase in unmanageable food price.
“We came to Lafayette with great confidence that we could enhance the seafood offerings in Acadiana,” Cvitanovich said. “The combination of a slow start, followed by Covid, and then the dramatic increase in food and operating costs was more than we could overcome.”
