I had the Italian salad, asparagus and snuck a taste of the mushroom risotto...delicious. The service was also top notch. Our waitress was great. The restaurant's decor takes you to Italy for sure...loved the vibe and the ambiance. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be returning. This is my second visit so returning is pretty much a guarantee. Give this place a try.

We ordered the Calamari Fritti for our appetizer. It was very crunchy and light. No greasy feeling at all. My wife ordered the Pasta al Granchio. This was a delicious dish. This wasn't heavy at all and was very filling lot of great flavors that worked well together. I ordered the Pesto di Pesce. The fish was soft and flaky. The risotto was cooked perfectly and the peppers were a great addition to this very flavorful dish. There were a few fish bones that I had to take out. We finished with the Tiramisu. Very light dessert and great way to finish our meal. Everything was cooked to perfection and was delicious. There were many other dishes we wanted to try and we'll have to make some more visits.

It's an Italian restaurant with no free bread. You pay for overpriced sides and entrees, including…read morestingy bread portions. You get little in the way of portions. In Cleveland, this food would cost you no more than 40 dollars for two but down here in Louisiana it's an overpriced delicacy. The bruschetta for instance comes with two slices costs 12 dollars. It should be on a French baguette; they are in abundance in Louisiana. The parking lot is in shambles like a New Orleans road. And the bathrooms are cramped and tiny. Abandon the idea of decent Italian in Louisiana. Josephine's is an expensive atrocity to all that is Italian and anyone from a Northern state will be shocked at the sticker price. There's food in Louisiana that you can't get elsewhere worth what they charge. That's what you should eat, not this place.

Solid Breakfast, especially when it is free…read more This is the hotel restaurant in the Baton Rouge Marriott. Since I stay here yearly for our work Christmas Party, I have become fond of this hotel for several reasons. I don't like that the lounge is closed on weekends, but I do like that status members (platinum and above) get a voucher for a free breakfast. That makes this a great deal for me. At around 30-35 per person, otherwise, it may not be a great deal for you (Louie's isn't that far away). Breakfast here is either buffet style or order off of the menu. The buffet has many different options, including the standards. The eggs are good, the potatoes are very good, and the meats are also very good. There is hot sauce available, and service is always friendly and prompt. Best news? The voucher covers gratuity as well! Note: The bar is also great. There is a solid selection of beer and bourbon. Expect to pay hotel prices, but after all, you are at a hotel. Shout out to the super friendly artenders!

For a hotel lobby, they're serving some really good food. We thoroughly enjoyed the bbq and…read moreRockefeller oysters to start. Then I had the trout with asparagus and rice. It was a littler saucier than I would have wanted, but the flavor was good and the portion generous. Kiddo had the margherita pizza. It was more of a flatbread and a little soggy. Not for me, but the kid enjoyed it and portion was huge. Hubs had the zydeco pasta. He really liked it, but the chicken was a little dry. Had a nice smoky flavor, though. For dessert we shared the turtle molten chocolate cake. It was ok. Needed a scoop of ice cream and more lava. Service was friendly. Overall, it's a good bet if you're close by, but probably not a destination. *Sorry all my photos were taken mid meal. Didn't think about reviewing until we were half done eating.

OMG... what a yummy spot that has been sleepy secret until NOW…read more... The food is so fresh, authentic and delicious. Dinner starts with complementary chips and salsa that are super yummy. Got the trio dip that has this cheesy gooey queso , corn with herbs and cheese and chunky guacamole. We order the carne asada and poncho mixto. The freshness of the food. I will go back and continue to try a new dishes ! But they also have tacos and burritos. The drinks were good too!!! Service was awesome. Gloria was our waitress and she provided some assistance with the choices made. We ate in the bar area. The ambiance of the restaurant is super cute for a girls night out or a first dinner date or a date night with that special someone.

It wasn't spicy like most salsa that I taste, but it also had a different flavor. I couldn't really put my finger on what the difference was, but it was really good. I ordered the Carne Asada and it was 10 out of 10 for presentation. The dish came steaming, sizzling and smoking as they sat it down and it continued to do so for over a minute. While the steak was cooked properly, medium well as I requested, it was very tough. Maybe it was an angry cow. Regardless, the staff was very attentive. And the service was very fast. Ambience was nice and it felt very comfortable although it was a bit cold so I had to go and get a jacket for my mom and my sister-in-law. I would give them another try the next time I'm in the area. The menu had a few options that I would be interested in.

There was sort of weird smell upon entering but after sitting down and getting acclimated, it's…read morejust a smell common to a seafood restaurant to be honest. The customer service was absolutely fantastic and Alex was an outstanding waiter. You can tell the entire staff is concerned with the experience of patrons. Some of the tops of the paper towel rolls were stained and were a turn off. I ordered a seafood boil with mussels and shrimp at the juicy special flavor spicy spice level. Firstly the seafood itself was very fresh and honestly bigger pieces of shrimp and mussels than what fiery crab serves. My friend also ordered a seafood boil juicy special medium with no seafood and only the sides in the sauce. 225 Crab's sauce is pretty flavorful and even has visual herbs in it that you can also taste to distinguish their boil from other places. However, their boil sauce is very very salty regardless of the spice level and the salt becomes more prominent the colder that your seafood boil gets. 225 crabs's spicy level is not as spicy as fiery crab's spicy and I actually appreciate that. The Mr. Burger was really good and proves that they have a versatile menu. They have a good happy hour special with buy one get one daiquiris, but I wish that they had some cheaper mixed drinks on the menu in the $5-$-10 range. 4/5 on Yelp I would honestly rate a little lower like 3.5/5 based on the food but Alex was really a great waiter.

I think they need live music or something to compete with the other seafood spots. The seafood bag was okay! I didn't like the potatoes at all. I've had better in Baton Rouge.

Our waiter was very nice and attentive and always checking on us. We started off with the bread, which was complementary and delicious. For an appetizer, we had the meatballs, which were very good. For my meal I had the flank steak. It is a very generous portion. It came with an egg on top of the sliced steak and served on top of bed of fries. It came with a really good dipping sauce. I was not able to finish it. My spouse had a 10 ounce filet mignon that came with bone marrow. I sampled some of his, and it was delicious. Overall, it was a lovely experience with beautiful decor. Next time I definitely want to sit in one of the large red booths.

The benefit was the place had very few people due to the street being blocked off. The food was very good ! The decor was bright and cute. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We got the avocado toast with carne asada. The toast was a bit too big but the flavor was great. We also got the Swiss enchiladas which the flavor was good but they were a little dry. The bean dip and salsa was probably our favorite and there's a showcase that displays their desserts but we were too full. Maybe next time !

It was fun to see how they've transformed the old Golden Corral on Sherwood - the vibrant redecorations (including the Mardi Gras Christmas-style tree at the entrance) definitely were a new take on the former buffet! The hospitality was top-tier, professional, and genuinely welcoming. As for the cuisine, the flavors were exceptional. My wife might have found her new favorite Mexican go-to based solely on the quality of their queso! I opted for the Asada Chilaquiles Rojos, and I must say, the execution was divine. The steak was tender, and the eggs were prepared to perfection. We are already plotting our return to dive into their taco selection. My only minor critique involves the menu structure: I found myself wishing for a few combination plates. While there are "a la carte" options, I would prefer a curated combo to make things simpler. I want to try all the things!
