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.

The salad and soup delicious. The last time I was there it was very bad and I can tell that the new chef has come in and made it his own. If you went before and you didn’t love it go try it again it has a great wine list as well.

Touted as a great "date night" location, The Gregory" is actually a lobby restaurant, with no date night ambiance and mediocre food. We ordered a wedge salad and asked that it be chopped in the kitchen. Our waitress didn't know what to do so she asked the manager who said no. There were three tables with customers and two people in the kitchen doing nothing, so resources were not the issue. The manager was standing around yawning widely for all to see. These guys could learn a thing or two about service. Would not go back again or recommend.

We had the Bronzed Redfish and the Salmon. Both were delicious and fresh tasting. The Redfish had a meunière sauce with potato mash that was very good. The Salmon had a pesto sauce over it with a buttery sauce underneath and sat atop sautéed spinach. The fish filets were cooked to perfection. And the salad we shared had a nice vinaigrette and lots of pecans, goat cheese and tomatoes and mixed lettuces. It was a great meal !

The menu, food, and ambience at The Gregory are wonderful— an oasis in downtown Baton Rouge. The service was not up to the same standard. Only five minutes or so after our salads were served, the main courses arrived. The server was able to cram everything onto the table, but it was very awkward, and the salad plates were still on the table after the main course plates were taken away. The server might have benefited from better training— she also seemed quite unsure of how to open a bottle of wine.

While our waiter was polite and attentive, food delivery took a long time. Our omelettes were fine but they were out of potatoes (at 12:30 on a Sunday morning) so grits or fruit were the only options left. My fruit cup was an odd and underwhelming combo of grapes and pineapple. A bread side (biscuit, muffin or even toast) is pretty standard with an egg entree but wasn’t included.

Visited for Sunday Brunch, table of four. Service was slow on this occasion, seated promptly, but slow to bring waters, take drink orders, and bring drinks. Food was good, but not particularly noteworthy. Still, the ambience of the room is great and makes for a nice brunch with friends. Valet parking service is a plus, as was the live musicians in the background.

The food was very good and the service was OK. They do two things that I very much dislike. First, they charge extra for bread. Second, the happy hour prices only apply to the bar area.

We usually stop at this hotel on the way to Houston. Free valet parking and easy highway access. Our server made our day. We’ve had her before, very friendly and helpful. Good sense of humor. For was very good. I ordered a cheeseburger rare and it was perfectly cooked. Nice ambiance. An old bank building renovated. We’ll be back!

The restaurant is in a hotel lobby. After I waited for 10 minutes without anyone saying anything to me, I was finally seated on the perimeter of the restaurant, right next to a bench in the hotel. Throughout the night, a family reunion of sorts would occur right next to me. Great for people watching, bad for conversation. Waitress was curt but I don’t care because I’m curt. Waitress was rare + hard to find, which I didn’t care for. The waitress brought us water promptly upon being seated. That would be the last prompt occurrence of the night. We’d wait ~20 minutes for drinks from the bar, ~40 minutes for appetizers, and a bit longer than that for the entrees. The crab cake appetizer was good. It had a dab of caviar on top, which I’d never had. I was pleasantly surprised by the subtle taste. It also came with a dab of something else which tasted like potato salad with no potatoes. I enjoyed it. The gumbo was just OK. I expected more. I got the soux vie (sp?) pork. Waitress said I should get it medium and I agreed, only after which she revealed the reason she recommended medium is that it’s easier for them to cook it longer than recook another altogether. Thanks I guess… The pork was too pink.

Drinks and appetizers were great, but service and entrees were disappointing. Steak was overpriced for the quality, the duck dish was odd and bitter. Service was slow despite the restaurant being empty, and there was no recognition of the milestone birthday celebration we noted on the reservation. Would recommend for happy hour at the bar, but not for dinner.

The service was great and those waiters, waitresses, and management were working their tails off. Cocktails were delicious, food was just ok. I had the steak and eggs and didn’t realize the steak was really more of a roast with gravy than actual steak. Overall really good experience.
