About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
The only place to get true Creole food is in Louisiana, or at least in someone from Louisiana’s kitchen. Come reste un peu (stay awhile) to downtown Baton Rouge and visit Chef Mark Reilly's Creole kitchen.

    Food arrived timely and was hot and DELICIOUS. The blackened fish of the day was spicy and flavorful. And, the Sinatra Smash cocktail was awesome. Attention from staff and manager was very nice and kind.

    Absolutely outstanding menu, service, and food. We enjoyed the Blackened Red Snapper and Short Ribs, both entrees were fabulous. The Corn Bread was off the charts delicious! Our server, Gabby was terrific, one of the best servers we’ve had in a long time. We highly recommend Cecelia’s if you’re looking for a delightful dining experience.

    We had an excellent meal and are so happy we picked coming here for our only night in Baton Rouge. The Skillet Cornbread is a must!!! I also recommend the Cecelia 75 for any Gin fans. Our server was amazing, the world needs more people like her.

    The restaurant was busy but with a few tables service could have been better. It took a while to order then the restaurant quickly quieted down. Food was delicious as always but this was the busiest it has been in the four times I have been here.

    Excellent food, service, ambiance at this downtown gem! The only issue was that the music in combination with a full restaurant of people talking made it very loud and difficult for an elderly member of our party of 3 to hear across a small table.

    Brussels sprouts are world class delicious. Boudin was very good as well. And crab cakes were delicious. Only disappointment was the sensation salad. Just a bit dry for me. Lunch mates had the house salad. They said it was very good as was the short ribs. Awesome service.

    Must try the skillet cornbread with the syrup on the side. Its very sweet, as syrup should be of course. Thebutter was perfect for me. Hint of nutmeg perhaps? A side house salad with grilled chicken was the perfect size for a lunch portion. Nicely decorated, and attentive hostess and waitress. If you’re in BR, check them out!
