The food was outstanding! We shared the crab dip and the crabcakes, and they were both delicious. Enjoyed everything about the restaurant except it was very cold. We mentioned this to our server but no adjustments were made. Otherwise, it was a delightful experience.

Our first time dining here; won't be our last. Creative menu, dishes nicely prepared and attractively presented - spouse had the grilled speckled trout (off-menu special) & I had the crab cakes entrée on the menu - both superb. I also had the Eliza House Salad - very nice. Good wine list - lots from which to choose - domestics & imports at various price points. Service was terrific - thank you, Somer - attentive, capable, and friendly.

Eliza continues to impress with well conceived and executed cuisine, unobtrusive professional service, and a subtly sophisticated atmosphere. It's where we take special guests when we want them to be comfortable and feel looked after.

The food and drinks were delicious, as always. I got the soup of the day (crab and mushroom) and the catfish appetizer and thoroughly enjoyed both. The vibe of the place is one of my favorites in BR. 😊 Very glad they have reservations available now for parties under 6!

The food and the service were both outstanding!! I had the watermelon and shrimp salad and my husband had the fish sandwich. The salad combined fresh and sweet flavors with shrimp that were perfectly cooked. My husbands sandwich was not your ordinary fish sandwich….it was fantastic. We also had the blue point crab dip for an appetizer and a lemon icebox pie for dessert. Everything was great! We will definitely be back!

We are allergic to gluten. We live in Houston, but visit Baton Rouge often. This is one of few places we can get fried seafood that is gluten free. It is also outstanding food all around. The Napoleon Eggplant tower and flourless chocolate cake were awesome

Friendly service and nice ambience but food was overpriced. Home cooked and fresh but lacking seasoning and flavor. Had the catfish appetizer, mushroom/crab soup, chicken fricasse and paneed fish. Food was bland except for the soup. Made reservations for a friends birthday dinner, which they acknowledged but never offered a birthday dessert. Not impressed overall.

The crab and corn bisque was fresh and light. The crab cakes were loaded with crab meat. We also enjoyed the penned striped bass topped with grilled shrimp. All the vegetables were prepared perfectly. We will return soon.

Brought an out-of-towner who'd otherwise never even had heard of the place. He was suitably impressed. Everything was fabulous. Well, maybe the music playing in the dining room was just a tad too loud, but it was a great playlist!

Our server was fairly pleasant, but was not very attentive. We had to request refills of water and tea several times. Our food was only average. The fried seafood platter was very bland by South Louisiana standards and at $36 somewhat overpriced. The catfish fillets were way too thick and didn't taste that fresh. The best item we had was the pimento cheese appetizer. Overall a rather disappointing experience.

As always, Chef Russell, Sally, and their whole crew made for a delightful evening with friends. Fried green tomatoes with shrimp, catfish strips, crab cakes, squid ink pasta with shrimp & paneed baby drum with shrimp, ALL delightful! We were much too sated even to think about dessert. They even cocktailed their berry mocktail to make for a special drink for us!!! If for some reason Eliza is not yet a regular dining spot for you, you ought to make it so!

Went for the Julia Child Birthday Dinner. The food was outstanding. The wine pairings were very nice, particularly given the price ($25 for three wines). And, as usual, the service was excellent. I eat hear fairly regularly, and Eliza's always delivers a quality experience.
