Great for creative cocktails
Good for special occasions
Charming

The only place to get true Creole food is in Louisiana, or at least in someone from Louisiana’s kitchen. Come reste un peu (stay awhile) to downtown Baton Rouge and visit Chef Mark Reilly's Creole kitchen.

The food was wonderful, but the portion size was way too small. I had the short ribs which were amazing but $33 for two small pieces of meat and some potatoes is not worth it.

Everything was fabulous from the service to the amazing food we had! My husband and I shared a salad and the grouper special they had. Oh and the cornbread appetizer with maple bourbon syrup! You have to try this! I’ve had this restaurant on my list of places to try and I will definitely be returning!
