The flavors were reminiscent of my family recipes. The batter on the fried green tomatoes was perfect. The service deserves its own paragraph. Our server was Mila (sp?). Her attention to detail and attentiveness to our experience was top 10 among all my international and domestic dining experiences. We had our 18 month old daughter with us and she made us feel welcomed and was attentive to the experience of our child as well. I highly recommend her table if you are fortunate enough to experience her excellent service. The atmosphere is true to its bistro title. Cozy, intimate and well designed. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Baton Rouge. I was here visiting family. San Francisco Bay Area is home.

The reason for 4 stars is because it can get a little noisy. It's an old building and if there's an event happening upstairs, you will hear all the foot steps. The bathroom wasn't exactly the cleanest either. No complaints on service.

I also noticed that they had bread pudding so of course, I had to order that too! It was so soft, buttery, bready, and just, melt in your mouth delicious.

The food is pretty good, they do a good job if you're looking for a simple sandwich. I was not a fan of the onion rings, my order only came with like 4 of them.

I'd like to go again and try their breakfast next time.

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.

When I first saw the name on the wall before the place opened I was expecting some sort of thai fusion super hot wing or tabasco factory type place. I could not have been more wrong. Hot stuff is a super unique place in Downtown BR. It reminds me of a spot you would find somewhere in acadiana. Solid lunch specials and damn good breakfast. Need I say more? Should you drive from somewhere to eat here? Maybe. If you are in Downtown should you eat here? Absolutely. In fact, a breakfast here is a good start for a Downtown tour.

This place looks tiny from the outside, but it's actually quite large. The service is amazing and the staff is so friendly. I chose to sit at the bar, which kind of has a diner feel to it. Rose was my server, and she recommended the sausage and egg biscuit. I'm not sure which one I like better, the biscuit for our conversation, but I know I will be back. Thank you for starting out my day on such a high note! See you next time!

We got their grilled pork chops which came with mashed potatoes and an amazing sauce. I got the pulled pork sandwich with their shoestring fries. Everything was amazing. It came out hot and fresh and delicious. I didn't have a single complaint. The service was also good and their staff was helpful and answered any questions we had. I know if I am looking for a good place to eat downtown where to come back to!

Please avoid this place…read more Went for Restaurant Week and was completely disappointed. Food was not good...grease bombs and burnt cake that wasn't worth the calories. We will never be going back. Ambiance: The real estate of this establishment is wasted on this restaurant. Beautiful downtown location with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that look out at pretty foliage and the I-10 bridge. The interior? Dirty, cracking, grease splattered walls with dusty canvas paintings. Service: our waiter was very kind and attentive and should be working in a nicer establishment. The hostess was abrupt and lacked personality. Food: The Food at Capital City Grill has always been inconsistent at best erring on 'not great' but in an endearing way. Like leaning in to watching a terrible movie. You know it's a bad film, but you appreciate it because it's bad, which makes it almost good. Always felt this way about Capital City Grill until today. What we just had turned us off completely from ever returning.
