We ate at Bon Temps as they've finally brought back all you can eat now crab legs. We went on a Friday and waited in a short line when they opened at 4pm. After reading comments online we knew to get there early. It's not even Buffett style anymore. You order crabs and they bring you a bucket or pan with 3 clusters of legs, 1 potato and 1 corn cob. Now I'm not filling up on this sides cause I want my moneys worth. It was $39.99 a person for the crabs. The waitress would come peek and see if you was running low and then she would bring you another bucket or pan of crabs. I noticed that some people was ordering food off the menu so if you didn't want crab legs you wasn't getting charged for that just whatever you ordered. Again, no buffet! We was thrilled to have a much closer drive and it was also cheaper than where we've been going for years.

It showed they genuinely care about their customers' experiences and are committed to making things right. They invited us back to give them another try, and I'm glad we did. We had the pleasure of meeting Elle, a delightful manager who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We also learned that the staff loves working for her, which says a lot about her leadership. This time, we ordered different dishes, and the food was excellent. Combined with the truly top notch service, Nealy, was very attentive. This made for a wonderful dining experience. We're very happy we gave them a second chance.

I didn't try the drinks this time, but they've got a full bar line up. I'm definitely circling back for sure! What we ordered: * Mozzarella Sticks * Firecracker Shrimp * Garlic Knots * Smoked Wings * Spinach Artichoke Dip The Apps are a heavy hitter, like my drives (pun intended) but, everything hits; especially those top 3.

When we arrived we asked where we needed to go, the hostess sent us over to the Sidebar. This is where it gets a small bit confusing.

She was fantastic, but could tell she had a lot going on. She was also helping at the bar. I was pleased with the food. Im definitely going to be back for the Steak Flatbread, it was well balanced and filling. Husband had Steak Frites, we were not very adventurous this trip. But will be back again. Ending the night with some Bread Pudding, a little sweet and a touch of tart from the blueberries. The night turned around, with all the thanks for our server Ally T, she was the best

The parking can be a bit tricky for some who haven't been yet but it's easy to figure out. I love the atmosphere and how they pay attention to a wide variety of scenes from Emo and Goth Nights to Disco and Fairy Raves. The staff is always nice and the service runs smooth every time. The bar seems to provide drinks quickly throughout the night. I've never had a bad experience at Chelsea's even when I lost my phone and I will continue to attend concerts and shows there. I've brought all my friends and they've all had a great time as well. Definitely in my go to places for a fun night out alone or with friends!

I've been to numerous events here, from private events to public, and this is pretty good venue. I…read moredo wish it was a little easier to get to. Waze tends to send to through some areas I don't want to drive solo through, so I usually detour. Parking can be slightly sketch at night, and be aware if you're in heels, you may have to park in gravel/large rocks under the interstate. You are parking at your own risk, so don't leave valuables out. Staff is always there to greet you with a smile. I've never encountered any employee there who didn't seem to be in a pretty good mood. The floor space is large with lots of standing room. Depending on the event, they'll throw some high top tables around. There are two bars, each pretty big, and the bartenders are very attentive, looking around for the next person to serve (which is good because I am short and can get lost under some people). The drinks are a bit pricey, but the liquor is pretty good with a variety. The private events I have attended were well run and staff members were very helpful for those who rented it. The public events are also very well done. Chelsea's Live brings in some pretty big names, so keep your eye out for future events. They also highlight local artists. The stage is high enough to where you can see who's on it no matter where you are in the place. I do wish it was a little easier to get to, but it is certainly worth attending some great shows there!

I was served a "large" gumbo, and I don't even want to know how small the lesser size serving might be. The Dungeness crab leg thrown into the gumbo was a nice touch -- something to crack it open so you can eat it would have been a really nice touch, too. They didn't have a nut cracker or anything, so I guess that crab leg was decorative? I ordered a house salad, and by dictionary definition I guess it was a salad. It had three ingredients: wilted iceberg lettuce, croutons, and a couple of fridge-aged cherry tomatoes of the flavorless variety. Bet the profit margin on that salad is HUGE! I don't go out to dinner because I want to heap more profit on someone's margins -- I want good food. I can't say enough about the great staff at this restaurant, and I truly mean that.. They're friendly, hard working and they really make you feel special as a customer. The service is nothing less than excellent, and I know what to look for in this regard -- you may have seen my long history of reviews on Yelp. I bet even the staff is bothered by the odor of urine wafting through the restaurant from the men's room. I certainly was. Bottom line: this place could be world-class if it had new management. Let's hope that happens soon.

My Wife and I have been visiting Tsunami (Downtown & Highland Locations) for years. When this place…read moreis at its best, it's great. We typically start with an order of the Gyoza, both preparations are very good. The Eggplant Miso is also very good but very rich. I only suggest ordering this if you have at one or two people to split it with. Just recently we started our meal with the Baked Salmon. While flavorful we were a bit disappointed. It was 80% snow crab mix and not very much salmon at all. We have tried at least 12 different rolls. The cooked and raw varieties are always great and the fish seems to be fresh. As far as drinks go the Haiku is one of their signature cocktails and is typically very good. Just recently, 6-27-2026, we had our first underwhelming experience at the location on Highland. It was the first bad experience in a decade or longer, so I won't hold it against them, most restaurants have an off night. The sushi was mostly rice, the fish was a tad off and the service was not the best. My rating will reflect how most of our experiences have been, which is really good. The most recent experience will not count unless it becomes a pattern.

Wow! I was completely blown away at everything! I was not expecting for this Tsumani to be as…read morebeautiful as the one in downtown Baton Rouge because the one downtown has that amazing view of the Mississippi River bridge, but this Tsumani was equally as beautiful. I like how it is tucked away and not noticeable. It is in a huge modern business building on the bottom floor. There is a sign when you get closer to the entrance, but you do have to know it is there to see it. I went for a Friday happy hour. Right when I walked it, I was instantly impressed. It was very clean and sleek with a mixture of bar seating and window seating. There isn't a ton of space, but it has enough tables. The decor was perfect...I loved the pieces hanging down from the wall. You also get wet hand towels when you are seated at your table, I've never had this before and I loved it! I felt so fancy. For our happy hour, I got the pear apple martini for $6. It was the best martini I've ever had. It is a pretty green color with a cherry at the bottom. This is my new favorite drink! To eat, we got edname and French fries. I don't like edname so I just ate the frie. These are so beyond spicy!! They are good, but make sure you have a glass of water near by. The service was awesome and we never waited too long for anything.

As one of the city's most versatile and treasured venues, the Varsity Theatre is known well by the…read moreBaton Rouge faithful as a great place to see a show. Located just outside of the LSU campus, it has been a mainstay in the area for decades. While it's mainly concerts that rock this venue, I've attended corporate events, watched LSU Tiger games, and enjoyed a show or two in years past. I've always enjoyed my time here. Not to be confused with a cinema, this multifaceted venue has played host to a number of events and has partnered with many organizations both local and national to feature great acts and some for great causes. My favorite event in the past was a Saints game night, where for $12 one got unlimited beers (Bud Lights only?) and all the hot dogs one could eat, as well as red beans and rice. If that deal is still available, I'll be floored. The parking isn't the most friendly. Street parking is usually that is available and it's more luck than anything else. The Varsity is in good company with a number of other super famous establishments located within the same block. Figuratively, one could chow down at Chimes, play games at Barcade, drink their face off here, and then head to Louie's or Raising Canes for some late night food. This is such a prime location that it's great for a solid casual night out. From concerts to comedy nights, there is literally not a thing that this place can't host. While I do wish for a slightly better men's bathroom, unsightly conditions do happen at places that holds hundreds of people at a time. Peep their schedule on their website and social media for what's happening next.

The parking lot is behind the building and is not big at all. Fortunately we were able to park across at LSU visitors parking lot and walk about 3 minutes down to the venue. The line was wrapped around the building but it moved quickly. I did will call tickets and had no problem with my name being found on the list. There was a bar with about 10 barstools set up but those were taken. I would suggest being first in line to get a seat at one of these. Upstairs had a few tables but once again those were taken. I ended up watching the show against the wall next to the railing and had a good view of everything. I had a Basic Bitch drink which was surprisingly good. Drink was huge and was only $11. I will definitely look for more events at this venue.
