The best marinara sauce I've had anywhere ever. The grouper is outstanding. Ask for Howard for excellent service. Love piano is a wonderful accent to the experience. Always a pleasure.

Our dining experience last night was excellent. The food, service and atmosphere went above and beyond our expectations. I had requested a table for 8 instead of the long one and my request was honored. We have decided that it will be one of our Christmas traditions every year.

We loved the extra attention given to us. The staff made delicious drinks that were non alcoholic. Beautiful presentation… Our waiter was very professional and took care of our needs often throughout our time there. We appreciated the manager stopping by to wish us a happy anniversary as well. The card and confetti was classy touch ~ thank you so much for making our day special! We will definitely be back!

Incredible food, love the ambiance and quiet atmosphere. Such a refreshing change from loud, busy restaurants. Service was impeccable. We had the crawfish mac n cheese for a fun starter. Fabulous! Husband had the seafood linguine- off the charts! I had the lobster roll. Very good, one thing is that I wished it had been served warm instead of cold. Fries were very crisp and unusually flavorful. Highly recommend!

About the restaurant

The Gregory at The Watermark Hotel is Baton Rouge, Louisiana's premier destination for modern food & wine. Located off the lobby of the hotel, in the former Bank of Louisiana, our restaurant is centered between an open kitchen and a full bar surrounded by murals painted by the artist of who the restaurant is named, Angela Gregory. Chefs Patrick Trahan, Brock Nichols, and Jonathan White design menus that utilize fresh and local produce and available organic proteins that offer twists on Southern classics in a modern farm-to-table menu. As a Louisiana native, Patrick influences Southern cooking styles by employing our wood-stone oven, Spanish Josper oven, and cast-iron grill to elevate flavors and create one-of-a-kind dishes in the downtown Baton Rouge area.
