    We went for our anniversary. I had grilled fish which was very good. The Elize greyhound cocktail was fabulous. My husband had the pared fish and gumbo. Both were very good. I’ll go back.

    I am addicted to your fried catfish, but I tried the big salad you make with the buttermilk dressing. It was wonderful. I can't wait to order that again. I like a lot of things on the menu. Great variety of good things.

    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.
