    Harvest Board with Salmon and Steak .... Both medium ... what a healthy yet delicious board.
    Jenny L.

    This was my 1st time at BLDG 5 and IT WILL NOT BE MY LAST. I hadn't seen 3 of my girl friends in a few so we decided to do a GIRLS night. It was so much fun. The restaurant itself is a hidden gem! It's cute! We started with some red wine... there weee 2 bottles because it was so good. We ordered the meatballs as an appetizer... which was so good I forgot to take a picture and we shared the harvest board. That was a great selection !!!! The steak and salmon were cooked to perfection- medium rare ... service was excellent especially on a very busy night. The best part ...they personalized our table. Hope you find the review helpful and check out!!!!

    I LOVED the decor, atmosphere and particularly all the live plants in the place! Super clean with a refreshing energetic vibe! ALL the food I saw around me looked super fresh! The service was friendly & I appreciated the fact that they had enough staff so that the waiters didn't look stressed or running all around! They were relaxed so the entire experience was pleasant. There's an option to sit inside or outside and interesting things for sale and to look at without the place being overcrowded. The food was delicious! I had the salad and loved every bite! The lemon vinaigrette was smooth and had just the perfect amount of lemon! The prices are very reasonable especially for a farm to table, healthy restaurant! I highly recommend this place, especially to my vegan friends! Vegan restaurants are few and far between around here so this is a great choice since the salads are full and not just lettuce with a side slice of cucumber I definitely will go back when in Baton Rouge! Cheers!

    Very cute interior and outdoor dining area. Great for dates or for a friend or family dinner. Would recommend making a reservation. The crab cakes, braised short ribs and all the spreads and breads are great options to start with. The boards are a good amount of food and are always fresh and tasty. Service is always great too. They sometimes have a live artist on the patio for some live music. Parking is pretty limited, especially on the weekends.

    This is my second time visiting! The food is always great. The service was okay, our server wasn't very helpful with the menu and answering questions. I do recommend making a reservation. We were seated at a high top table that was wobbly and had to hold our drinks anytime it moved and were told we couldn't be moved to another table because they were all reserved. The atmosphere is relaxing and the outdoor area is super pretty. We will be back.

    This place was amazing! My coworkers and I needed a night on the town! The food and ambiance were perfect! The drinks topped everything off. I must say this place stays busy. I made reservations, I suggest you do as well. Also the park lot is tight so come a little early.

    I went to BLDG 5 with my husband for our anniversary dinner and it was my first time there! We ordered the crabcake appetizer, which is absolutely my favorite thing on the entire menu! Like 10 out of 10 good and we also ordered the Mexican board which was really really good. The service was amazing. Bartenders were great. We had several espresso martinis and we left very full, very happy! And I've been back since with my mom, so I highly recommend trying BLDG 5!

    Had dinner at 4pm so there wasn't a crowd and our waitress was so welcoming and inviting. She explaining everything to us, answered all our questions, & was not upset and was really knowledgeable about the menu. The food was a 10/10! The veggies were seasoned to perfection and the steak was cooked perfectly. The hummus was tasty as well. Pita bread was cooked to perfection. The drinks were flowing and a time was had. Very comforting atmosphere.

    If I could give more than five stars, I definitely would! This place was amazing. From the food to the service to the decor and ambience, they really know what they're doing and do it well. My husband and I were in town visiting family and decided to go out to dinner and just had the best time. The dish that we wanted was out so we went with the steak and potato board. I really don't think you could go wrong in what you choose here. We will definitely be back!

    Amazing! Very cozy, with great service. Everyone is very personable. The food was delicious, everything tasted very fresh and flavorful. Truly perfect girl dinner! Definitely will be back, and definitely do recommend.

    I popped up here on a Friday around lunch time. Parking under the overpass is tricky, however there is a new paid parking lot with a good amount of parking spots. The place is nicely decorated with indoor and outdoor seating. It was cold on this day so there were no outside diners. I ended up sitting at the bar because the wait for a table for 1 was about 20-30 minutes. I advise to make reservations by phone. The service was nice, friendly, and fast. I tried a sample of the Pomegranate Blueberry Ginger mocktail. It was good but not sweet enough! My server gave me a shot of simple syrup which was a great addition. My server and a guest both recommended the Baja Chicken bowl. I enjoyed the bowl but it wasnt enough food for the price. I would come back and try the dinner menu. They also sell great items and there is a bakery like section.

    We dined in on a Thursday night. They don't take reservations and despite the restaurant being busy (parking was tough) we were seated right away. We enjoyed fast, friendly service. The food was fresh and flavorful. There are so many customizable options for the dishes dependent on your tastes and dietary preferences/restrictions. We would definitely return.

    What a unique, charming, top notch food and service kind of place. A Diamond in the Rough, nestled under the bridge area and you stepped into a legend. The best Tom Kah we had and it's not even a Thai restaurant. Each and every dish was perfect. Should have taken food pictures but was too busy enjoying :)))

    Food and drinks were amazing met old friends stayed for hours music was amazing too. The wait was a bit long but we ended up dining at the bar and enjoying ourselves. Our bartender was a great server for us. Sadly I forget her name!

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes, they take reservations, but it is not a reservation-only restaurant.

    Does BLDG5 have happy hour specials? If so what are they? Thanks!

    I don't believe they do, but I found their wine and drinks to be somewhat reasonably priced normally for the quality.

We were in a large alcove at the back of the restaurant. It was spacious and elegant, even with the table ended up being almost entirely filled. Our waiter was enthusiastic and patient with our large party. Refills and check-ins were timed well. The drink selection was pretty extensive. Food was delicious and all delivered within minutes of one another (no one was stuck waiting for long). Burger was cooked to perfection and not TOO hot. I hate when food is so hot in temperature that you can't take a bite. The chocolate cake was good, but the whip cream tasted kinda fake/oily. The cake itself was medium density and had a slightly salted finish. It paired perfectly with the frosting which was very rich and extra sweet. A delightful pairing. For my drink, plus a double shot of whiskey, the burger and dessert, it came to just over $100. That feels expensive. Take that as you will. I wouldn't return mostly due to price. But quality on everything was great, and so was the service. Atmosphere was great too.

Ambiance was good. -2 stars because we sat at the bar on a Friday night and the bartenders were very lackluster. Barely spoke to us. The place wasn't overly busy either. We tried to make conversation and it fell flat every time. We enjoy making small talk with bartenders that's why we chose to sit there. Not sure if it was an off night or what. The lounge section was also closed due to a private party. Understandable but we wanted to have an after dinner cocktail. Overall we'd go back and sit at a regular table.

We started with the special strawberry Basil daiquiri and it was small but it was a 9/10. We got the Brussels and they were amazing with the goat cheese. I wish they were less steamed and more crispy I guess ? 8/10 Surf and turf board was incredible. Everything on the board was amazing and it was only 35$ 10/10 Then we decided to get the chorizo flatbread. I was not a fan - but my friend said she loved it. The cheesecake was really good as well. The drinks were always on point. And we plan to come back and try different things next time. The staff was super friendly and great at clearing the table. The place was also super cute.

Both good choices. Overall, the wine pairing was okay. I like the appetizer pairing of a nice light, white bubbly prosecco. The second was a classic red wine to pair with a steak. The last wine is where I was not impressed. It was a dessert wine that had a smell similar to a distilled whiskey. I took a sip and decided I rather another glass of prosecco. Shout out to the server who was accommodating and swapped out that glass for what I requested. He didn't have to, but he did! The food was mouth watering delicious. We started off with the sauteed shrimp and the piquillo peppers. THANK GOD the piquillo peppers are a Solera regular. I will be getting them again. The shrimp were just okay, nothing out of this world. Second course was the filet with polenta. It was absolutely delicious and packed with flavors that complimented each other well. Final course we had the rum bread pudding and the manchego cheesecake. The manchego cheese is definitely a rich and an acquiring flavor. Without the blueberry sauce, you would think its just a slab of cheese. The rum bread pudding was spectacular. I have never loved a rum sauce with my bread pudding, but the Solera one kept me wanting more. Overall and enjoyable experience, with a couple minor foods that lack the razzle dazzle of a 5 star review.

It's a very cozy vibe great for a date night or girls night out. We both order ribeye steaks and they were absolutely amazing. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. The asparagus could have been seasoned a bit more. The baked potato was also over baked and for some odd reason I didn't have bacon bits and my friend did. The gumbo was fantastic I wish I would've gotten a bigger bowl! The salad was simple yet delicious. It could've had more veggies and the cherry tomatoes could have been cut. I don't like having them roll everywhere trying to cut them on such a small plate. The drinks were amazing and don't owe me anything!
