We were in a large alcove at the back of the restaurant. It was spacious and elegant, even with the table ended up being almost entirely filled. Our waiter was enthusiastic and patient with our large party. Refills and check-ins were timed well. The drink selection was pretty extensive. Food was delicious and all delivered within minutes of one another (no one was stuck waiting for long). Burger was cooked to perfection and not TOO hot. I hate when food is so hot in temperature that you can't take a bite. The chocolate cake was good, but the whip cream tasted kinda fake/oily. The cake itself was medium density and had a slightly salted finish. It paired perfectly with the frosting which was very rich and extra sweet. A delightful pairing. For my drink, plus a double shot of whiskey, the burger and dessert, it came to just over $100. That feels expensive. Take that as you will. I wouldn't return mostly due to price. But quality on everything was great, and so was the service. Atmosphere was great too.

Ambiance was good. -2 stars because we sat at the bar on a Friday night and the bartenders were very lackluster. Barely spoke to us. The place wasn't overly busy either. We tried to make conversation and it fell flat every time. We enjoy making small talk with bartenders that's why we chose to sit there. Not sure if it was an off night or what. The lounge section was also closed due to a private party. Understandable but we wanted to have an after dinner cocktail. Overall we'd go back and sit at a regular table.

I went for the lunch buffet for $13.99 and feel like the BR location def has more options than the NOLA location (I haven't been to that spot in over a year though). There are some seafood options during lunch (salt and pepper crab, salmon, assortment of fish, and mussels) but if you want a wider variety, dinner is the way to go. I didn't try the sushi because the majority of them were always wiped out but the chefs in the back were doing their best to replenish whenever they could. Nothing to extraordinary with the sushi, I feel like you could get most of em at the grocery store. My favs at lunch were hands down the salmon and the baked mussels w cheese on top. The salmon was SEASONED SO WELL and I just kept going back for more. The mussels and cheese was def a hit too bc I could see the chefs restock every so often. There's unlimited boba (not included in the buffet) and I had the mango, which tasted watered down to me. The ice cream was amazing, got a mix of the taro and mango. The cakes were extremely dry and the mousse was the only thing saving it from totally crumbling in my mouth. For the most part, the food was piping hot, but there were a few options that were cold when I ate them, hence the 4 stars. The staff were incredibly sweet and would clean tables immediately after someone would leave.

Customer service was horrible. I came tonight for a friends birthday, first night trying it was…read moreexcited to try however we got here around 7 didn't get serviced til 9:02. Was ignored and overlooked. Once I finally talked to our waiter she stated that "we needed to order by 9:30 because the kitchen was closing at 9:30 and that she hope we don't want steak because they are out" then I stated that we had been there since 7 so that was unfair then we finally ordered cool. Friend wanted to order something at 9:25 was denied that saying that the kitchen was closed however was told prior that the kitchen closed at 9:30. Couple of friends went to the bar and was ignored too. When I finally talked to the waitress she said that it was because they were super busy however we were there when the crowd died down she still did not acknowledge us at all she threw some menus on the table and never came back, I had to find her . That's just very inconvenient and very distasteful. We were also the only minority not saying it is a race thing however it came across that way. I was way too excited to come and try this place out just to be ignored and looked over. Didn't get the experience I want it and this is very disappointing.

Had a fantastic experience at Cecelia Creole Bistro…read more Tried the fried alligator bites and the étouffée, and both were excellent. Great introduction to Creole flavors - everything was well-seasoned and really satisfying. What stood out just as much as the food was the service. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The atmosphere inside is also really cool - stylish, comfortable, and full of character. It has that perfect blend of modern and classic Louisiana charm that makes you want to stay a while. Overall, great food, great service, and a great vibe. Would definitely come back.

Went to Cecelia for Restaurant week…read more Been multiple times in the past. Food is ALWAYS good. Never disappointed. We even looked up the chef because of how good it is. The reason for 4 stars is because it can get a little noisy. It's an old building and if there's an event happening upstairs, you will hear all the foot steps. The bathroom wasn't exactly the cleanest either. No complaints on service.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with stellar customer service that set the tone for our entire experience. Our waiter, Justice, was truly delightful. It was an absolute pleasure being served by him. He was incredibly friendly, patient and attentive, especially with our party of 14, which included children. His attention to detail and welcoming demeanor stood out, and his positive energy elevated our experience. Justice went above and beyond, and his efforts did not go unnoticed! The entire staff working on Saturday, April 4 was top notch. Everyone we encountered was warm, helpful and professional. From the food and drinks to the atmosphere and overall service, everything exceeded our expectations. I can say this was a 5 Star Brunch experience. I will definitely be returning the next time I'm in Louisiana!

2.5 's rounded up…read more It was my first time in Baton Rouge and it was recommended by a friend. We made a reservation and were seated quickly but that's where the best part of the evening ended. There was a steady stream of people coming in and the restaurant is packed. The garage doors at the other side of the restaurant were open so it was hell a hot!! In mid-august!!! We ordered drinks and only three of the four were delivered. The fourth was eventually delivered. We order food and it was at best a 3. The best plate was the boudin quesadilla. I thought it was going to be small but was filling. The po boy didn't have any condiments on it and when I asked for cocktail sauce I was told they didn't have any!!!! How can you serve a shrimp po boy sandwich and not have cocktail sauce?!?! The fries were ok. But one of our party ordered her friend extra crispy and they were the second best thing served. The ketchup is bbq sauce mixed with ketchup. Interesting but not what was wanted for fries. Sean was our waiter and he was as good as he could be. He wasn't in charge of the drinks or the food or the heat. All in all I would not recommend SoLou.

The menu had so many great options, I definitely need to go back to try a few things!! We ordered the spinach dip with chips, friend catfish platter, the New Orleans catfish, the chicken wrap, cajundilla, and the bread pudding. There were absolutely NO complaints!! Everything was so flavorful and cooked to perfection! Our waitress was very polite and professional. She answered all of our questions as best she could and if she didn't know she went to ask. I appreciate the chef for allowing me to sample the crawfish etouffè because I never had it before and wasn't sure if it was something I'd like and it was offered on many of the dishes, it was pretty good. The restaurant was not very crowded, I guess we missed the lunch rush and the students are all packing up to end the school year anyway. It was very clean and lots of sports events to choose to watch, including lacrosse and golf. I'd definitely go back!!

The staff was very friendly and welcoming which was nice considering how chaotic it was. Our server was nice, brought waters, drinks and took our orders promptly. The food was ok.

The boneless wings looked good but I didn't try any. Would I come back? Yes - if I go to another LSU game, but that'd probably be the only reason. Again, the service and atmosphere was good. The food was good.
