| - I have heard good reviews from friends about Baton Rouge so decided to give this place a try after work one day. And....disappointment.
The food was....I don't want to say awful, but it wasn't good. The appetizer that we got, the grilled calamari, was meh. The chicken that we ordered had no flavour other than the glaze of barbecue sauce on the outside, and not only was it bland but it was hard and dry. The ribs (which came with very high recommendations from the server) had a charred after-taste. Yuck. And even if the food was cooked properly, I don't think I can justify the prices that they charge. Decent portions, but even so, definitely overpriced.
The server that we had was very friendly. Too friendly. Not five minutes went by that he didn't come to check on us to see if we were okay. Admittedly we were sitting in a section where there were only two occupied tables, so undoubtedly when he usually makes his rounds it would take more than five minutes for him to get back to us, but it would have been nice to enjoy dinner without the server hovering over you asking if you needed anything.
All in all, I would like to give Baton Rouge another try, but at another location. This location is a definite pass for me.
