Bottle we chose. Quite excellent and paired beautifully with our dinner
Carlin T.

Intimate small restaurant which is just what we were searching for. A wide assortment of beverages, knowledgeable staff, shareable plates or regular entrees just WOW. Saw options that could hit any tastebud. I was excited and distracted to get photos of our tasty items but I definitely have plans to return!

Flatbread with fig jam, arugula and prosciutto
Tanya A.

Fabulous! A group of ladies decided to try their "Restaurant Week Menu" and it was great. I started with a Texas toast with cheese and crab meat that was joined with a sauce to dip in, it is delicious! Chef's kiss! Next, was a flatbread with fig spread, prosciutto, arugula and some other stuff; it was too much fig jam. It tastes good, but more like a dessert. Probably less fig, more prosciutto and add some goat cheese. My friend had the skirt steak with chimichurri and was very pleased. The dessert was the cheesecake with a slice of orange, omg! So good! And our waitress was great and took amazing care of us!

The Godfather flatbread pizza
India R.

This is a really nice chill wine spot. It's has a very intimate set up with dim lighting that adds to the atmosphere. I ordered the Godfather flat bread pizza and enjoyed every bite. We couldn't decide on wine but luckily they had a sommelier. He helped us pick the perfect taste .

Spinach dip, English muffin, poached eggs with hollandaise sauce, crispy back and spicy salami!
Theresa J.

We sat outside, great food, great service! We ordered a breakfast board and an expresso martini.. our waitress Lauren was great and attentive with very good recommendations. Will be back!

Espresso martini
Gerald G.

Had an amazing date night with my beautiful wife. Started with a perfectly made old fashion and she a blueberry martini. We shared the Under the Sea board- must try! The fish, crab claws, shrimp, crab cakes and duck butter potatoes were divine! We finished off the night with an espresso martini and blueberry mascarpone cake! Our waitress was next level attentive- she made us feel at home.

I would give this place a three and a half if I could, but I'm going to round it up to a four. First off, the ambiance is absolutely adorable, and the place itself is charming. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which I really appreciated. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because I logged into my Yelp account and, for the first time ever, received a free, very inexpensive appetizer offer. However, when I tried to use it, I was told they don't honor it. On top of that, we ordered a flatbread, and it came out burnt to a crisp on the edges and underneath. We didn't complain because that's just how it goes sometimes, but it was disappointing. That said, everything else was good, the charcuterie board was delicious, and so were the meatballs. I might make my way back in the future, but it's not at the top of my list. Overall, the service was impactful, and I commend them for that. I do wish they would have honored the little Yelp coupon, but I understand.

Restaurant week Menu & dirty martini
Jaime T.

This was a great stop during restaurant week. 3 courses for $45 was such a great deal! We started with dirty martinis. Course one, butternut squash soup 5/5 and a crawfish tart 4/5. The pastry of the tart was cooked beautifully. Soft and flaky but a little crunch on the edges. The bacon crumble and goat cheese in the soup were a nice balance with the soft texture of the creamy sweet soup. Course 2 short rib rigatoni was so nice and overall a great dish. When Chef Cameron came out to the table I raved about it bc it's not often I can find a great pasta that's not seafood or classic spaghetti. The short rib was tender and fell apart easily into the noodles that were nicely tossed in a cream sauce. I love an extremely creamy sauce and at first I thought I didn't have enough but the flavors were so bold and the noodles just held the sauce easily. The chicken lollipops were roasted nicely (in my opinion) & White bean cassoulet was a surprisingly tasty bite for me. Course three we had pecan butter pie which had a nice crunch to it but still some softness to it and snickerdoodle blonde was just the right amount of sweet. Alicia was attentive and fantastic! We finished the evening with a princess violet & applewood smoked old fashion. This spot is great for a date night, girls night, or sitting at the bar to catch up with a friend!

Very yummy but expensive! Very cool concept of serving boards and they had plenty of other food options. We sat at the bar, so we were always set w drinks and food lol. Didn't wait too long for anything. We started with wine, of course! I got the Prosecco and it was delicious! For an app, I got the crab cakes with sauce on the side. They had a corn mixture instead of the crab cake, which I was iffy about before I tasted it, but it was actually good. Two crab cakes with the serving along with asparagus and tomatoes. My mom got the meatballs, and they were very dry but spicy, which I liked! We shared the steak and potato board, which they said fed one and a half people, but boy, we were so full after we ate it! The steak was perfect... we got a medium cook on it. The balsamic glaze that I dipped the steak in was SO good. The board also came with potatoes, mushrooms, cauliflower and spinach. To me, the cauliflower and spinach had no flavor, but the mushrooms and potatoes we delicious. I would recommend just getting a board and sharing like we did!

Lemon berry cake
Uriia H.

What a pleasant surprise! Came here on a lil date night and was extremely pleased with everything. When we arrived, the hostess made sure we had a nice table that wasn't too cramped between others. Our waiter had great suggestions for us since we hadn't been here before. A nice touch was him suggesting we split a salad and it was brought out to us already proportioned in 2 bowls. He made sure our drinks stayed full. We ordered the steak board since it offered a lot of options. Initially I thought it wouldn't be enough food but we had enough left to take home. Everything on it was delicious..especially the balsamic marinated mushrooms. I was too full for dessert but of course we got one anyway. The lemon berry cake was very flavorful..a bit dense but overall good. Looking forward to trying the seafood board next time.

Waffle charcuterie board
Ciara C.

Had the pleasure of visiting this place for brunch with a friend recently and I must say the ambiance was the first thing to catch my eye. It's perfect for a date or anniversary night even a proposal. Secondly I was gracious to meet the general manager serving us while we were there. He mentioned they were short staffed and he didn't want his team to drown so he put on an apron and helped out. How cool is that‼Just for that great leadership we will be returning soon. Lastly the bar guy took some great photos for us with perfect angles. Ok someone taught him well lol. I loved my waffle charcuterie board. I want those steak and eggs next. Can't wait!

The Prime Cut board and the fish entree!
Paige C.

Our waiter, Taylor was fantastic! The food was amazing! Great craft cocktails. Ambiance was very relaxing.

Garlic Hummus , sweet and yummy
Van N.

Ambiance 9/10 Super cute spot for a date night or girls night dinner! They offer indoor and outdoor seating as well as bar Food 7.5/10 The food here is ok. Not the best but definitely not the worse either. Definitely a little on the pricey side. I find that the appetizers are way to go. All of the starters are tastier than the steak charcuterie boards in my opinion. My girlfriends and I will usually order all of the apps and have a light munch with alcoholic beverages. Service 8.9/10. Nice enough service for the place. No complaints.

Baklava
Sarah D.

Wowza. It was everything I had hoped for. Sadly, I was hungry and did not get a pic of the salad and entree but did manage to snap a pic of the dessert. Tonight, we decided to go on a bit of a "world tour." We started off by sharing the proverbial wedge salad. I can tell you now that I will crave this salad. It was so unique compared to your typical wedge salad, including roasted tomato, pickles, feta, in addition to your typical wedge ingredients. If you aren't a fan of bleu cheese, it was not heavy on it. It was also unique in that it was served on romaine instead of iceberg lettuce, and that gets an ovation in my book (iceberg lettuce is meh in my humble opinion). For the main event we opted to share the South of the Border board. It was huge and we brought home leftovers. The meat was all cooked to perfection, and the accoutrements complemented everything perfectly. I would absolutely order it again, though I plan to try something different when I return. If you like street tacos, you will love this board. Finally, we could have (and should have) stopped after the main course, but how does one not get dessert when a dessert board is advertised. Lucky for us, you can order an item that is on the dessert board individually if you aren't with a big enough crowd to share it all. We opted to try the baklava and get a taste of another part of the world. If you think a piece of dessert is what you're getting, you'd be wrong. There were 4-5 pieces of baklava on this plate (see the picture). It was as good as it looks. I am so excited to have this restaurant nearby and look forward to returning many times!

I looked around and saw that all of the tables inside were reserved and we were lucky enough to be seated on the patio, where there were also a good number of tables reserved. It wasn't too bad being outside because they had some space heaters, and the table we were at had a nice view of the sunset. There was also live music, which to us was a huge plus. Our server was Chloe, and she was great! Attentive enough that we never had to wait for anything, and very pleasant. We started with a mule for me and an espresso martini for my friend. She says it's one of the best, if not the best, espresso martini she has had in Baton Rouge. My mule was the just strong enough to hit the spot. As far as our food goes, we loved how fresh the bruschetta tasted and how the meatballs practically melted in your mouth. My friend preferred the Lil Peppa because she liked their red sauce a lot and I preferred the salsiccia con potate (mozzarella, Italian sausage, roasted potatoes and rosemary with a white sauce) because I found the flavor combinations interesting. I favored the tiramisu, while she favored the cannoli. We were both in agreement that we would come back and get all of these again, so they were all winners to us.

She came and apologized that she had forgotten about us. We ordered and waited another half-an-hour for one dish. My wife and I shared a plate of chicken primavera, and it took them a half-hour to prepare it. I am a fan of the slow pace of European restaurants, and we did enjoy a nice visit while waiting. And I got to see most of the second half of the Music City Bowl, and watch Tennessee make a solid run at a come-from-behind win (they almost did it, too). But if you want faster service, maybe check on your waiter sooner. And I will say it again - that vodka sauce is worth coming back for, and worth keeping the original four stars I gave them on the premise that our service was a fluke. Oh, and the complimentary piece of cheesecake was nice, too - rich and creamy.

The portions were perfect, the flavors all blended nicely, with nothing too salty, too bland, or overpowering other flavors in the dish. Their hummus and pita are all made fresh in house, and a must try for appetizer. I then ordered the rice, chicken and lemon soup bowl along with the politika meatballs. The soup is best described as slurping down comfort food. The meatballs were a blend of beef and lamb, which helped to bring down the bold flavor of lamb, and allowed all the flavors of the saganaki tomato sauce to complement. All of that still some left room for desserts. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the choices. They all looked good. I went with this custard filled filo that was drizzled with honey. It's baked to order, so it was fresh, warm, crispy flakes of filo, and sweetened with honey and a hint of orange zest.

There's an old saying,"if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it." I'd counter with,"if you have to conceal it, it's probably not worth it." Ding, ding, ding!
