Restaurants near Baton Rouge River Center

One of the most fantastic meals in Baton Rouge. The detail down to the cutlery, the gifted rose, the curated music, the lighting, the table spacing. 10/10 an amazing date night spot. Seafood dishes were excellent and fresh. Steak wasn’t cooked as ordered, but didn’t matter. The sauce was wonderful. Lobster and crab ravioli was to die for. Could have been plated not in a bowl, maybe in a deep dish plate because cutting them in a bowl was quite a hassle and then fishing them out of the large amount of liquid sauce was messy. But the taste was wonderful. The red velvet cake was a great choice. Cocktails are STRONG and delicious. Will be coming back monthly.

We made reservations for Valentine’s Day. We arrived 20 min early and they sat us right away. Drinks were fantastic. espresso Martini to start, then speak easy Margarita’s and Old Fashioned for the Hubs. We did not do appetizers so I can’t comment on that but the Dry Aged Pork Chop is what we both ordered with brocolini and truffle fries which was all very good.

It was amazing we were celebrating our friend’s anniversary. Jennifer was a wonderful serve very attentive to our needs. We relaxed enjoyed a glass of champagne and wine then had the lobster bisque and onion soup which was delicious. All had steaks which were perfect. Jennifer brought them a beautiful cheesecake dessert which was enjoyed by all.

Stroubes is a very good choice if you are in Downtown Baton Rouge looking for a place to eat. The menu covers pork - steak - seafood. The bar drinks are good and within the normal for pricing. There is not a lot of “fluff” to the menu which makes ordering easy. Good date night kind of place.
