- TTanyaBaton Rouge / Lafayette •8 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoI was so impressed and felt such a joy after having the Mediterranean chicken! I felt so content, it was beautiful. The chicken, falling off of the bone, amazing crisp skin, wonderful acidic sauce, and salty base of the au gratin spinach, all these compiling the bite of perfection. The fish romessco, again, was great! And the birthday cheesecake, an absolute dime! So airy, light and refreshing (I know, the very opposite of what a cheesecake is known to be).More infoThe Colonel's ClubPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Southern• Baton Rouge•4.6
