The Gregory at The Watermark Hotel is Baton Rouge, Louisiana's premier destination for modern food & wine. Located off the lobby of the hotel, in the former Bank of Louisiana, our restaurant is centered between an open kitchen and a full bar surrounded by murals painted by the artist of who the restaurant is named, Angela Gregory. Chefs Patrick Trahan, Brock Nichols, and Jonathan White design menus that utilize fresh and local produce and available organic proteins that offer twists on Southern classics in a modern farm-to-table menu. As a Louisiana native, Patrick influences Southern cooking styles by employing our wood-stone oven, Spanish Josper oven, and cast-iron grill to elevate flavors and create one-of-a-kind dishes in the downtown Baton Rouge area.

My wife and I have been celebrating our anniversary at Ruth’s Chris for nearly 20 years, and it continues to be a special tradition for us. We always appreciate the impeccable attention to detail and the consistently outstanding service. This visit was no exception. Our server, Brock, was excellent—attentive, personable, and truly made our evening feel special. Experiences like this are why we keep coming back year after year.
