Restaurants near Evangeline Park

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.

The experience was enjoyable. Our servers were fantastic and attentive at all times. My husband ordered lobster tales and I ordered a Main Filet Mignon. The steak was tender and juicy, and the Oscar style made it even more delicious. The Truffle Mashed Potatoes were whipped smoothly and had a subtle flavor that wasn’t overbearing. My favorite was the asparagus. It was cooked lightly and melted by every bite. It was flavorful, soft but still chewy for texture. We ended the night with savory chocolates. I highly recommend this restaurant for the wonderful experience.

Cecilia Creole Bistro is outstanding! I had the filet and it was perfect! Sides are excellent. It's a tad tricky if you're eating KETO but it can be done. Wife had the Redfish Cecilia - grilled and it was mouth watering. (I tried a bite!) Everything served has an excellent presentation. Service is great but they don't hover. We don't drink so I can't say anything about cocktails. Some very interesting appetizer choices... definitely try the brussels sprouts and the cornbread! Prices are very reasonable considering the gourmet preparation! We love it! P.S. The pre-written choices for what makes this place special are way off base! (pet friendly, brunch, outside seating, etc. Just know that this place is worth checking out for date night in downtown Baton Rouge. Parking on the street or in a lot close by. MAKE A RESERVATION! Enjoy! Bon Appetit!

Ben gives excellent service! We requested him. He was our professional on our last visit.

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.
