Baton Rouge on Front street is a 5-10 minute walk from the subway, not a great experience during the Canadian Winter. But inside the restaurant was really nice, the atmosphere felt cozy with the dim lights and comfortable booth seats.
The service was really good, we were greeted right away by a hostess and our server came asking for drinks not too long afterwards (It was a Tuesday evening, probably not a busy day anyway). We ordered food, ate dinner and dessert in less than an hour and a half = extremely fast service. Our server kept asking us how we were doing every 5 minutes, it was nice but it was interrupting our conversation.
I ordered the chicken tender platter with seasoned vegetables. Chicken tenders were battered and fried which had a good crunch to them and the chicken was still moist. It was good for chicken tenders. The vegetables were bland, not really "seasoned". The BBQ sauce that came with it was pretty good and I actually asked for more.
My boyfriend ordered the rib steak with mashed potatoes, and loved it. This was his 2nd time ordering steak from Baton Rouge, both times he enjoyed it very much.
For dessert we ordered the New York style cheesecake with caramel. It tasted okay, but it felt like it was frozen and they didn't thaw it out all the way.
The menu is pricey but the portions are rather large. Baton Rouge is more of a restaurant for special occasions rather than a "go-to spot" for me.
