The biggest issue was the incredibly slow service--waiting for each dish felt like an eternity. While the staff was friendly, the food itself didn't live up to the hype. What looked promising on the menu ended up being underwhelming on the plate, lacking the flavor and quality I had hoped for. There's definitely potential here, but they need to work on both their timing and their execution in the kitchen.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience!…read more We contacted Michael & Marion's to host my son and now daughter-in-law's wedding, as we've always loved both the food and service there. From start to finish, it was hands-down the best choice we could have made. Kent, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to deal with -- professional, accommodating, and completely transparent. He clearly outlined what was available and what to expect, with no hidden costs or "nickel and diming." When it looked like our ceremony venue might fall through, he even offered us the restaurant space as a backup, which was such a thoughtful gesture (thankfully, we didn't need it -- but the offer said everything about their level of care). We met with Kent twice and Jade once, and the process felt almost too easy -- so informal and effortless that I thought it might be too good to be true. But it wasn't. When we arrived on the big day, everything was exactly as promised -- and even better than I had imagined. Throughout the evening, Jade and the entire team were incredible. They were attentive, professional, and seemed to anticipate every need before we even had to ask. I never once felt like I had to manage a thing. The food was phenomenal, the service outstanding, and the atmosphere absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend Michael & Marion's for any event or special occasion. I'm eternally grateful to Kent, Jade, and their team for making this day so smooth, memorable, and truly perfect. Angela McKeown

Needless to say I was not happy about that. but I was able to make it out today with the warmer weather.I had my usual which was the potato soup with au gratin garlic bread, and like always it was Superb and i also had the f;liet mignon with the baked potato and the skillet mushrooms,and grilled mushrooms. When you have a meal and you the same thing you know it will be good. As for the ambiance, It was very quiet in the restaurant. The service was impeccable by Cristina she was pleasant, polite and very efficient.. One thing I forget is that Baton Rouge does more that steaks. I will have to try their pasta dishes in the near future when we finally get spring in Barrie . All in all it was another fantastice visit at Baton Rouge!

I guess I would like to occasionally go out and dress up to pay $48 for an entree, but I guess this is what you get in Barrie. The food was pretty good, nice presentation. I had the braised short rib which basically was a lump of good pot roast with no bone. The scallops and risotto were also good. Expresso martini was a little watery. Server was a little disinterested. Overall I would say go because most of my party enjoyed it, I was just expecting more of a wow factor.
