I decided on the triple threat enchiladas with chicken topped with green chile sauce and two side of beans. I received one with cheese for some reason but no worries was told there was a different kitchen crew tonight. My Mom ordered shrimp fajitas and "lil mama" ordered the quesabirria tacos. No complaints as our waitress kept checking on us and the place was crowded at all nor overly noisy. The place was dimly lit and restaurant and restrooms were clean. The food was seasoned ok. Just your typical local college restaurant fare.

I was quickly served. Bartender was nice and very knowledgeable. I ordered a lemon drop. I feel I have to try everyone's lemon drop. I'm so glad I did! Super delicious. I later ordered a taco salad and added carne asada. Omg! So good! I wish I could have finished it all, but I had to rush to graduation. I can't wait to come back!

And when you drive by this bar, you may think it's closed too as it's super dark looking from the outside except for the bar sign and the gas lanterns. It gives that speakeasy vibe. Nice you walk in you'll see where the party is happening. Multiple spaces within bar, each offering its own character. The seating gives off a relaxed vibe with couches and carpets a long the floor. Order drinks at the bar and then a place to lounge. The menu offer some unique drinks, including a caviar drink that will set you back somewhere in the low 30s. Worth a visit just for the vibes. Definitely a unique place in Baton Rouge.

Whenever I went, they said they closed at 5pm. Not a lot of outlets in the middle of the dining area. The seats that were filled, outlets had been taken.

Relaxed upscale atmosphere with fresh ingredient ingenious cocktails. Friendly staff that can even create something for you on the fly. The interior has exposed brick front wall, exposed wooden columns, and is tastefully decorated with old pictures of Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra to give you that real home feel. There's a relatively long bar with barstools and comfortable lounge seating in the main room. There is a small patio outback for the beautiful days, and there's an upstairs (usually reserved for private parties) with its own bar and an overlook of the Mississippi River. They are open everyday and usually offer a seasonal cocktail menu for Christmas, Halloween etc. If you are downtown looking for a craft cocktail, this is a great place to sit back and enjoy a fresh ingredient cocktail.

Once in the restaurant, we went to the bar and got their amazing Golden Gatsby cocktail. It was sweet and fruity and had a nice kick to it. The bartender made great drinks our entire visit. I also got an old fashioned which was great. We ordered the beef wellingtons minis and the duck confit tacos which were very yummy. There were not a lot of people there at all. It was us and another couple. We did not have any long wait times at all which was one of the reasons I chose an earlier reservation time not a time later in the afternoon. The ambiance was perfect for date night and the vibe was very intimate. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic evening with their significant other!

I love that they offer a variety of boards you can share, and their drink options are great too.

They also have the cutest merchandise available for purchase. It's a great place for date night, hanging out with friends, celebrating birthdays or anniversaries, or just spending time with family. Highly recommend!

When you read the reviews below, most people know what this restaurant is and how it works. My…read moreresponse is less harsh about the service or it's overpriced charcuterie board concept. I have lived in BR for 6 years now. Many departments at LSU take guests there and in that time, Building 5 has done nothing to improve its parking lot. The restaurant sits underneath an overpass and the parking is pothole marked unpaved gravel. This means that there is no room for wheelchairs or accommodations for anyone who is differently-abled to get into the restaurant. The whole restaurant makes no room for handicapped persons. On the occasion I did get food, the food is slightly overpriced. All meats were cooked adequately but the food was lukewarm probably owing to sitting in the kitchen under the heat lamp than being delivered promptly. When I have gone, I regularly have to ask for refills on soda as I am the designated driver often for department functions. Servers pay you no heed if you do not buy alcohol. Because I go here because of academic reasons, I would barely go here myself. I've been here many times and found it wanting. It's an ableist place in its infrastructure. It's fine I'm atmosphere as a cocktail bar but would little recommend it to people I call friend.

The Tuscan Meatballs were a rough start--they arrived ice cold. Even worse, when we sent them back, they clearly just reheated the same plate (the meatball with a bite out of it was still there) instead of bringing out a fresh dish. For the price, that's a pretty big disappointment. For entrees, I had the Smash Burger, which was fairly bland and nothing to write home about. However, the Lobster Ravioli was incredible--a total 10/10--and the Brussels sprouts were excellent as well. We finished with the cheesecake, which was also a highlight. The atmosphere was nice, staff were pretty good and it's a very popular place to grab a drink. While the food definitely improved as the night went on, the "hit or miss" nature of the meal and the service mishap with the appetizer made it hard to justify the price tag. We likely won't be back.
