My boyfriend and I loved Wild Child so much on our weekend trip to Lafayette we went everyday we…read morewere there. It is three connected buildings in one, one is a store with books, clothes and other accountments, one is a wine shop that was selling wines by the glass, and the last is a bar with food, both prepared and otherwise for sale. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar the first night and had wine and pizza and salad. All of it was delicious! The second day we picked up a focaccia sandwich to take with us which was awesome! Then the last day I got bagels to go. Everything was wonderful! It is so fun to browse around too and take a look at everything.

Servers aren't outwardly rude to us but after five visits we never felt tolerated, much less welcomed. I get the other customers are snooty. We are "poor fit customers." But the staff? I wanted to like the place but I can find overpriced wine elsewhere where I can get at the very least a hey and a thank you.

We started with the special strawberry Basil daiquiri and it was small but it was a 9/10. We got the Brussels and they were amazing with the goat cheese. I wish they were less steamed and more crispy I guess ? 8/10 Surf and turf board was incredible. Everything on the board was amazing and it was only 35$ 10/10 Then we decided to get the chorizo flatbread. I was not a fan - but my friend said she loved it. The cheesecake was really good as well. The drinks were always on point. And we plan to come back and try different things next time. The staff was super friendly and great at clearing the table. The place was also super cute.

We chose Solera Bar & Tasting Room for the last BR restaurant week, in 2024. It was phenomenal. I…read morechose to have the wine pairing with my meal, and my partner had the margarita. Both good choices. Overall, the wine pairing was okay. I like the appetizer pairing of a nice light, white bubbly prosecco. The second was a classic red wine to pair with a steak. The last wine is where I was not impressed. It was a dessert wine that had a smell similar to a distilled whiskey. I took a sip and decided I rather another glass of prosecco. Shout out to the server who was accommodating and swapped out that glass for what I requested. He didn't have to, but he did! The food was mouth watering delicious. We started off with the sauteed shrimp and the piquillo peppers. THANK GOD the piquillo peppers are a Solera regular. I will be getting them again. The shrimp were just okay, nothing out of this world. Second course was the filet with polenta. It was absolutely delicious and packed with flavors that complimented each other well. Final course we had the rum bread pudding and the manchego cheesecake. The manchego cheese is definitely a rich and an acquiring flavor. Without the blueberry sauce, you would think its just a slab of cheese. The rum bread pudding was spectacular. I have never loved a rum sauce with my bread pudding, but the Solera one kept me wanting more. Overall and enjoyable experience, with a couple minor foods that lack the razzle dazzle of a 5 star review.

Really cool place to order some dinner!

Prices were reasonable, maybe even some are arguably a steal for what you get, and the service was also just as fantastic as the food. The only thing I can list as a negative is that the inside gets very loud as the dining area fills up, but why wouldn't it? We are interested in going back to try out other dishes in the near future.

This is one of the longest standing bars in downtown Baton Rouge. They've survived all the…read morecraziness of the early 2020's and kept their name. Relaxed upscale atmosphere with fresh ingredient ingenious cocktails. Friendly staff that can even create something for you on the fly. The interior has exposed brick front wall, exposed wooden columns, and is tastefully decorated with old pictures of Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra to give you that real home feel. There's a relatively long bar with barstools and comfortable lounge seating in the main room. There is a small patio outback for the beautiful days, and there's an upstairs (usually reserved for private parties) with its own bar and an overlook of the Mississippi River. They are open everyday and usually offer a seasonal cocktail menu for Christmas, Halloween etc. If you are downtown looking for a craft cocktail, this is a great place to sit back and enjoy a fresh ingredient cocktail.

It came warm in a giant cappuccino mug and I don't even think she steamed the milk (the picture is actually how it came, I didn't touch it yet). They pride themselves on their coffee and I was impressed that they even had a flat white on the menu so I had high hopes. I also ordered the poached egg on the biscuit which came out as a hard boiled egg on top of a stale biscuit. I asked for an egg that wasn't " hard-boiled" and guess what came back on top... a mini quiche. I could see the confusion though, the cook probably thought that I wanted an egg prepared a different way than before. Anyway, the cheese on it wasn't even melted and the arugula was slimy like cooked spinach. Coffee egg cheese biscuit arugula . The only thing I ate was the old dry bacon. One out of five elements of that was edible. On another note, the atmosphere is very nice and it has a cool vibe. It has a really good potential, just poorly executed.
