I usually don't expect much when it comes to restaurants in the mall but I actually like Baton Rouge in Eaton Centre.
Their steaks are not the greatest, it's never really cooked to my liking. Despite one time sending it back, found it to be too tough or even undercooked still. However, I remember their Ahi Tuna salad being pretty delicious! So I would definitely recommend that. Cheddar dip appetizer is good too. As for desserts, pass on any ice creams and maybe just try the cheesecake if you really want something to nibble on.
I haven't been here in a while, but last Friday I came back for their LaPoutineWeek promotion. $10 for poutine topped with lobster. Yum!! I think it's part of the regular menu as well. The portion is huge, definitely able to get a cheap filling meal even if you are splitting the poutine w/ a friend. Lol. I did for my pre appetizer, right before going off to a winterlicious dinner. Haha. Just recheck about portions if you order this. Idk if there will be a difference in size portion of promo vs. regular menu. Show them this picture or something as reference. Ha!
Note: expect a 20-30 min wait if you go during busy times and have no reservations. My friend and I skipped that by just heading over to the bar and eating there. We were short on time and after ordering, only had to wait like 15 min max for our food to arrive.
