The place is very nice and quiet, and is what Baton Rouge has lost over the years. True fine dining experience, service and the food was good. We had the Brussel Sprouts app, it was delicious but barely enough to share, entrees were steak and fish, both were good just not great. The highlight of our visit was the cheesecake OMG it is amazing. I hope you continue to improve your dishes and can soon score all as awesome. I will be back to see your progress. Service was outstanding.
