Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Eliza offers an outstanding dining experience with "great food and perfect service." It caters to gluten-free needs with a diverse menu featuring creole specialties like Gumbo Ya Ya. The ambiance is "quiet but elevated," ideal for celebrations. Though known for "excellent service," some experienced slow delivery. Overall, a Baton Rouge favorite!

    Very good restaurant, beautiful and tasty food. My only issue is I told the waitress I do not eat pork. I asked for the shrimp and grits which had no pork listed on the menu. Then she brought it to me with bacon pits sprinkled on top. They have a small menu so I feel as this was ignorance on her part. Other than that amazing experience and would go again.

    RJ, we are so sorry to hear of this mistake as we take food allergens and dietary restrictions very seriously. We do have Tasso listed as an ingredient for the Shrimp and Grits, but will be looking into how this occurred after your server was notified of your preferences. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope to see you again soon!

    This little gem of a restaurant is one of my favorites in Baton Rouge. I recently celebrated my daughter's graduation from LSU, and of course, the meal was excellent. I highly recommend Eliza for a celebration or a wonderful dinner on a night out.

    Our waiter was excellent— his name was Marshall, I think? He was super! The shrimp and beet salad with figs was also great.

    We had never been there before so did not know what to expect. The server was very polite and knew the menu well. The before dinner drinks were prepared exactly as we liked. The Gumbo was excellent and the main course was perfect. I had the Veal and my Wife ordered the Pork chop. Both were prepared as expected. An excellent restaurant especially if you are looking for a truly great meal.
