Let me start by saying that the service and atmosphere are absolutely perfect! Gavin was our server, along with his helper Trey, and they were very attentive. The restaurant has great ambience and design. This part would get 5 stars. The food, however, was just about average. The bread and butter that came out in the beginning was delicious, so don't skip that. My husband got a steak and he said that it was lacking in flavor. I ordered the Caesar salad and five onion soup for my meal. The soup was quite large, contrary to a prior review. It had a good flavor, but it was so thick and rich that it was hard to eat much of it. The Caesar salad was served where you had to cut it yourself, but I didn't mind. The flavor of the Caesar dressing was ok, but not the best I've had. I highly recommend the Revolution cocktail. It was delicious with a little chipotle kick. The drink menu is on an iPad which is convenient if you want to search for something, but it was a little glitchy for us. I would prefer a regular paper menu to make it easier to browse. Overall, there was nothing bad about the food, but nothing spectacular either. The service is top notch! read more

I would have to give this place 5 stars. I really can't see why someone would give this place low marks. The staff was extremely professional and well-dressed. The atmosphere is very upscale and seating was very pleasant. The dinner I ordered was phenomenal. The rolls were very tasty, with whipped butter with the consistency of whip cream. The wild mushrooms was extremely savory and seasoned well. The spinach with lardons was creamy and the lardons gave a slight crunch. The steak was cooked to perfection. One added bonus was the large bone marrow served with my steak. It was phenomenal and similar to a foi grais texture that melts in your mouth. The prices are up there but I found the meal extremely pleasing. read more

18 STEAK - Filet Mignon - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

This was my 2nd time dining at 18 Steak & I was completely disappointed. We waited an hour for our soup and salad to arrive. Meanwhile watching our waitress spend several minutes (20+) at another table conversing. The french onion soup was delicious once it arrived however the portion was petite. Iceberg wedge blue cheese salad did not have enough dressing to warrant the name. About an hour and a half later, as we waited impatiently with empty glasses before our waitress returned to take our order. We both ordered a filet, once they arrived they were under cooked & had to be sent back. One was ordered medium rare but was completely RAW when it was cut into. The other medium but less than a 1/4" was cooked; the middle was RAW. $160 later... I will note that the first time was excellent. The service was spectacular and the food worth every cent. BUT NOT THIS TIME........................... I have since returned to 19Steak and loved it. We go as often as possible or as often as my comps allow. Brunch or dinner this place is a gem! read more

Came in with my family to celebrate my brother's LSU graduation. Ended up ordering a long island which was absolutely flawless, a new york strip medium rare, and the garlic mashed potatoes. From the atmosphere, to the service and food this place is amazing. Ive been in the service industry 8+ years and it takes a ton to impress me but our server Chris made our experience truly great. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an extremely upscale dining experience thats intimate and professionally prepared THIS IS IT!! read more

18 STEAK - Talk about delicious!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

My wife had made reservations for the two of us and we were exited just one of these restaurants we had not visited yet. The seating is great we overlooked the river and the whole ambiance was just perfect. It was not very busy although the hotel and casino were busy and also the parking was full. Service was good we did not feel that we were urged to order something and also the suggestions from the staff were nice, My wife ordered lamb lollipops and I took the BBQ'ed shrimps. Both our appetizers were very nice. Both Our mains, red fish on the half shell and scallops were cooked to perfection but....... way and we mean way to salt and We exchanged some pieces of our mains and I think that they used the same mixture for both like one of the seasonings you will find everywhere in LA. Even the French fries were way to salty. The manager asked us how we liked it so far and we told him nice but that we were disappointed with the mains because of the saltiness, When my wife ordered dessert, creme brûlée, the waiter told us this was on the House because of the salty mains. This was appreciated and we will definitely give them a second chance. read more

Everything was amazing. From the server to the food. Evan (sorry if it's misspelled) was an amazing server. I recommend.

Went on a Friday, in March 2021, for date night. We made reservations, which I highly recommend, because we had no wait and were taken right to our table. All of the staff wore masks and the tables had good space between them. We were in a high traffic, in line with the kitchen, so ask for one of the leather booths if you want more privacy. I had the daily soup (which was crab and shrimp, in a cream sauce? I'm not sure what it was called) and my partner had the ricotta dumplings. Both were fabulous. I had the fresh fish entree, which was red snapper and he had the lamb, cooked medium, plus the Mac and cheese. We shared a slice chocolate cake. Everything was delicious. Our server was great and we didn't feel rushed at ALL. I definitely recommend. read more

The atmosphere is pleasant and great for a date night! However, the food wasn't all that great. I had a filet mignon which I got medium. The filet was dry on the outside and chewy on the inside. My cousin got the cowboy ribeye (see photo) which I thought was better than the filet. It had much more flavor and very moist! One of the appetizers I ordered was the yellow fin tuna tartare which I did not like, it was served with a cracker-like bread that was meant to be broken up and eaten with the tuna tartare. The dessert was probably the best dish I had! read more

18 STEAK - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Unbelievably good steak. Perfect drinks. Attentive service. 100% lives up to the hype and worth every penny.

We went for a 10 yr anniversary this weekend. The waiter was on point the whole dinner. Everything he recommended to us was fabulous. When my wife asked about a certain wine he had the answers. If we would have listened to the bartender. My wife would have been upset. And back to the steaks. The wife had a blue rare wagyu ribeye which she said was fantastic. I had the medium rare dry aged Delmonico ribeye which was also fantastic. And please order the bread pudding for dessert best I ever had!!!! read more

For me and my husband, 18Steak is our place. The place we go for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. We've tried other places like Ruth Chris but we always come back to 18 Steak. It's incredible. It's everything. It's romantic, it's delicious, it's just it for us. I always look forward to a special day knowing we're going to come eat here. The wait staff is always so nice and attentive. They never let your drink get low. We have our favorites. My go to is the ribeye and my husbands is the lamb chops. We never stray away from our norm because it's just that good. The steak is huge! So worth the price. I don't know anyone who ever eats it all in one sitting. I always end up taking half home with me to eat later. We usually get mashed potatoes and asparagus for the sides and everything is always wonderful. They come al a carte and they're plenty enough for two people. If you can sit towards the back there's a beautiful view of the river. All the tables are nice and private. They have tons of wine options if you like to drink. For us, it's just the place to go. What better date night then dinner and a little gambling. It is a little pricey but so worth every penny. read more

I like sitting at the bar and enjoy my drinks with the food . Steak is so delicious . And my favorite is Wagyu . Helpful and friendly staffs

This was by far the worse I've had.... the server was funny yet talkative and had more excuses than anyone I've ever seen, the drink was pretty good HOWEVER the entire meal was awful. I had the 3-course prix fixe (crawfish au gratin, New York strip w/veggies & creme brûlée)... the au gratin was soupy with an after taste, the medium steak ordered came out medium rare, my date's steak ordered medium well also came out medium rare and the veggies were burnt.... we sent our steaks back only for me to receive my date's and vice versa.... AWFUL rubber taste... lastly the dessert... looked like puke and had no flavor at all. This was the place I chose for dinner and I was so upset by the choice that I vowed to NEVER go there again or recommend read more

Great meal last night and this was the second time I have been there. I only have one complaint the knifes they give you to cut the steaks need to be sharpened. The butter knife was sharper then the steak knife. Everything else was outstanding. Don't forget to get a mint on the way out... or 10. Haha read more

18 STEAK - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The food was delicious but the service was horrible, the waiter had the nerve to tell me don't call his name when he's with another customer I was being rude! Service was extremely slow! The resturant was not even half full. Asked for an extra plate I never received it! But how dare the waiter tell me I'm being rude! How else am I suppose to get his attention!! Wave the white napkin!!! I thought the customer was always right!! Will I go back that's a maybe!! Land chops were excellent but I needed a little mint jelly!!ijs!! read more

So I was tempted not to eat here because the reviews were not consistent and low especially for such an expensive place. I went anyways, I went at 6 on a Sunday. We didn't have a reservation and they sat us no problem. We got seated at a really cool looking and roomy booth. And across the booth was an amazing view at the water! Was really impressed. They have their drink menu on an iPad the hostess set on the table. I ended up getting a Moscow mule--- it's not on the menu but it was still really good. For an appetizer we got crab cakes. They were so good. Not fried, with huge lumps of crab meat. Also had corn,okra & a tomato mix underneath. Was perfect. We got the filets with crabmeat & bbq shrimp. As a side we got asparagus & lobster mac n cheese. Omg all of it was so good !!!! We were in and out in an hour. We had leftovers and our waiter said we could keep the leftovers with them while we gamble and we could pick them up when we were ready to leave. We left around 10:30 and we got our leftovers no problem. I will come back.... On a special occasion lol read more

Ordered a prime ribeye medium rare, came out rare. Ordered scallops, smelled like bad fish, ordered crab fingers, tasted like bad fish. The server was attentive and kind and I liked him. Oh and by the way Me and my buddy were the only ones here. If they can't cook w no pressure then I'd hate to see them under pressure. read more

We started with appetizers and drinks at the bar. The drink was excellent and the oyster appetizer was delicious. The spring rolls were VERY galtinous, but we payed and went to get a table. My steak, which I ordered medium rare, came out like a brick. And the "special knives" they deliver before dinner service couldn't even cut the soft roll. There are only 2 restaurants I will never eat at again. This is one of them. read more

Went here a couple weeks ago but forgot to post a review! Anyways the food was to die for! We started off with the Caesar salad which literally was whole leaves of romain (unchopped) which I did not enjoy having to chop and mix my own salad for such a price! Maybe that's just the fancy way, anyway I also had steak and lobster for my main and it was delicious. One of the best steaks I've ever had! For dessert I had a trio of cheesecakes and it was fabulous read more

18 STEAK - Filet and lobster - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

My husband and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary at 18 Steak. Our $300 bill made this one of the most expensive meals we've ever had and sadly it was not one of the best. My filet was over cooked after I explicitly told the waiter that I wanted it medium and that he could err on the side of medium rare to ensure it wasn't over cooked, imagine my frustration when I received a medium well steak! I thought the lobster Mac and cheese would be a sure bet but the lobster was very tough. And the Mac and cheese was very salty. The steak was unevenly seasoned, one bite would taste like a salt lick, another would taste like pure pepper. The saving grace of the meal was the crab cake appetizer and the dessert. Those were both delicious and the only reason this review was three stars instead of two. The other bright spot was the staff was very friendly and attentive! I would visit again for cocktails and maybe the appetizers or desserts but never again for dinner and certainly not at those prices! read more

18 STEAK - Steakhouses Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Not impressed with this restaurant. The red wine was good. But the fried pork belly was salty and for the entree I ordered the cast iron duck with risotto. I thought for sure it would be amazing but it wasn't. It was missing something and the risotto I felt like I could have made it better. The duck just was super fatty and just was seasoned okay. It was my birthday and nothing special was done so maybe I will give it another try and actually get the steak since it's called 18 steak. But I'm not really want to really read more

Stopped here after one of the LSU games...yes we won. It was open and not very packed. We sat down and the waiter was fun. HE was full of energy and very nice. We had another couple with us and this was everyone first time there. Apps were nice, but not memorable. The wine was AWESOME (cake bread 2007 cabernet sauvignon) and the steaks were ok. Main reason is that my steak was not hot, but room temp. I'd go back, but with lower expectations read more

Another disappointment for fancy fine dinning . For price we paid for this restaurant , food is not good , below average . Nothing like your own cooking . We also request "cape cod " made with " Ultimato" vodka . I know that vodka was not Ultimato she used . She put cheap vodka into empty Ultimato bottle . Because I KNOW what Ultimato vodka taste like ! Never ever again for this money waisting dinning . Better to go eat at buffet in casino ! read more

This review is from my one and only visit to 18 Steak at L'Auberge Casino Baton Rouge on 3/24/2013. The short version: It isn't very good, especially for what you pay. You must make a reservation. Even if it's for 10 minutes from when you walk up and no one leaves the restaurant in that time. Because we wouldn't want the restaurant getting too crowded! (sarcasm; see below) The amuse bouche was okay, but not great. I should have recognized this as an omen. An amuse bouche is supposed to be an intensely-flavored starter from the chef to wow diners and give them a hint of what's to come. Unfortunately, it did its job well. The charcuterie meats were mostly bland. I couldn't taste anything in the andouille except pork?!?!? No spices, very little salt, nothing. Maybe I have a different definition of "andouille" than the chef, but I've lived here all of my life and I get better andouille for $4 for a 12oz package from the grocery store. (And we're not even talking about what you can get in some parts of New Iberia.) The service was slow and our waiter was frequently nowhere to be found, despite the restaurant being three quarters empty. He was pleasant, though, and had a good demeanor. The steaks, the raison d'etre of "18 STEAK", were less juicy and less flavorful than you get at Logan's, despite being "aged at least 30 days". Everywhere else I've gone, aging tends to increase the flavor of meat. Not here, apparently. The sauteed mushroom side dish was woefully under-seasoned. Salt is a cook's best friend. Don't forget it. When you add in the $75/person cost (including tip), it really, REALLY isn't a good restaurant. Stay away and hit Stadium or the buffet instead. read more

The food is good but not great. You go there for the decor, atmosphere and location to gambling. Our server Jake was excellent and made the dining experience phenomenal. It's a great place to go for an adult dining experience to have good conversations and cocktails. read more

This restaurant easily gets 5 stars and is officially my new fav steakhouse in Baton Rouge. The oysters appetizer was amazing, and the filet with mushrooms and brussel sprouts... so good and flavorful! Agree with other reviews that they need better steak knives. Service was average, but thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the ambience. Wish I had tried this place much sooner! Will definitely be back! read more

My husband and I dressed up and headed to 18 Steak for the first time. We did not have reservations but we were seated immediately at a lovely table with a view! Keep in mind that it was late on Friday night and I would strongly suggest making reservations. Geremy and Kyle were our waiters and they never missed a beat. Geremy's strong knowledge of the menu helped us select our Wedge salad (we split one since they are HUGE). We both ordered the Speckled Trout special and were pleasantly surprised! The fish was cooked perfectly and topped with jumbo lump crab! Geremy and Kyle both spent some time with us after the meal helping us plan our next dining experience. We are going for the filet mignon next time! We were too full for dessert, but the selections sounded great. Price wise, this is in line with J Alexander's, Ruth's, Sullivans, Stroubes, Jubans, and Mansurs. You will be served on real linen, with a beautiful place setting and excellent service. Perfect date night destination! We had a great experience! read more

After reading numerous reviews on OpenTable, I was somewhat skeptical about dining there but I was happily proved wrong. We had a reservation for 4 people on Saturday, May 11 at 5 pm before a show at L'Auberge. We arrived on time and were promptly seating at a nice table. The overall ambiance is very upscale and reserved. Lots of dark woods and red accents and a gorgeous view of the Mississippi River outside. Our waiter Geremy was fantastic and I felt took very good care of us. The food...very good and very pricey. It's probably the most expensive place in Baton Rouge but worth a nice splurge. Cocktails were served once seated and their entire wine list and drink menu is supplied on an IPad. We started with two orders of the foie gras and sweet potato waffles, pork belly with greens and bbq shrimp. All were delicious and served in a timely manner. Our 4 top split two of the house Caesar salads with asiago cheese croutons (definitely split this..they are huge...) Again, these were very good. One member of our party decided to have several sides for their entree. The rest of us picked various steaks. I had the 20 oz. bone-in ribeye with bleu cheese crust. Others had the flat iron steak and filet mignon with lump crab meat. All steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were also very good and big enough to share with the table. We followed all that up with two desserts for the table to split; lemon meringue and bread pudding. Again, these were very good. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and we will definitely be returning in the future to dine here. Service was attentive without being overbearing and I never once felt I had to ask for anything. Drinks were served promptly and water glasses were kept filled throughout the meal. The ambiance is great and it's nice to watch the river outside. Bring your appetite and your wallet because it's pricey but worth it. read more

We have been coming here for several years and generally the food is very good but with one exception, the bread. It may sound trivial but this starter has been a highlight to the forthcoming meal and now it is terrible. We were told these bricks are made in house and honestly that's a crying shame to admit. Please please please get a new recipe or go back to what you are using before (Mrs Schubert's frozen rolls would be a huge step up) Other than that the food has been good so... read more

Never seize to amaze me- excellent staff, chefs are amazing and wait staff is knowledgeable of food. Had the pleasure of being served, my last 3 visits for business meetings, by Glenn at the Bar. Service is 5*, knowledgeable of food, always makes spot on suggestion for appetizer orders-as I (we) request, down to even instructing me on the tuna tartar and how to 'savor the flavor' of the tuna by adding the quail egg. Thanks to the staff of 18 steaks and to the cordial, excellent chef that served my friends and I a complementary dessert (to die for) during our last visit to this fabulous restaurant bar. Lauberge Baton Rouge always spot on- relaxing, entertaining and great staff, food and ambiance for a low key evening or an outing with friends or significant other! read more

I would recommend the red fish on a half shell....it's the best fish dish I ever had. Enjoyed every bite of it...My co-worker had the filet mignon. They cooked it as ordered but it was very salty.

Been there 3 times. The First (right after it opened) was excellent, second (maybe 6mo ago) was good, but the last time (this weekend) was terrible. 10oz fillet was not very tasty. Ordered medium and temp was fine, but cut was issue. Had a big chewy ligament or tendon running right through it. Had to eat around it and steak wasn't cheap. 48$. If you're looking for a good expensive steak I would never t recommend 18 steak at the moment. Seems like they are working through some kind of management issue. read more

Let's start off by saying that this restaurant is expertly decorated. I absolutely love it, especially the booths! The service is amazing. Our waiter was great and so was his sidekick. I believe their names were Chris and Kyle. We had a trio appetizer of sautéed crab fingers, crab cake, and ravigote. The crab cake was delicious. It only came with 3 crab fingers and maybe a tablespoon of ravigote, so kinda a rip off. I would just order the crab cake next time. The BBQ shrimp appetizer was just alright. I probably wouldn't order it again. The filet was great and the bernaise was amazing. I had the Parmesan scallops. They were perfectly cooked? But needed a little more seasoning in my opinion. The sweet potato gnocchi was okay as well. Not the best gnocchi I've ever had. The creamed spinach was strange. I'm not a fan of having an egg in it...gave it a weird flavor. I would totally go again and give them another try. read more
