    Zydeco pasta almost fully eaten
    Mindi A.

    For a hotel lobby, they're serving some really good food. We thoroughly enjoyed the bbq and Rockefeller oysters to start. Then I had the trout with asparagus and rice. It was a littler saucier than I would have wanted, but the flavor was good and the portion generous. Kiddo had the margherita pizza. It was more of a flatbread and a little soggy. Not for me, but the kid enjoyed it and portion was huge. Hubs had the zydeco pasta. He really liked it, but the chicken was a little dry. Had a nice smoky flavor, though. For dessert we shared the turtle molten chocolate cake. It was ok. Needed a scoop of ice cream and more lava. Service was friendly. Overall, it's a good bet if you're close by, but probably not a destination. *Sorry all my photos were taken mid meal. Didn't think about reviewing until we were half done eating.

    Philly cheesesteak eggrolls
    Nikki F.

    I had a quiet Friday lunch. I love the decor. My server was a nice gentleman named Topher. He explained the menu and gave suggestions on mocktails that I could try. I ended up getting a watermelon mocktail that was pretty good. For lunch I started with the crab and corn soup. I didn't care for this. It was too watery, My server asked about it and I told him it was too watery! He said the chef was working on thickening it up. I also tried the Philly eggrolls and LA bbq shrimp oysters. The eggrolls were the winner! Nicely fried and tasty. The oysters came out piping hot! They were okay but the bbq flavor could've been a tad better. I will definitely return to try more items. There is plenty of seating and a huge bar. I wouldn't mind going back during the evening time. It would also be nice if they had live music.

    Well my lady was very excited she chose this place out for us, not knowing it's basically in the Marriott lobby. We walked in and they had a ton of people at the entrance so we waited and looked around. There's no one there waiting to greet you or bring you to a table so seat yourself I reckon. They have a full bar and a few options of beer on tap, she got the espresso martini and said it was good. Just good she said, and we mainly came for the oysters. She for whatever goofy reason ordered the crab fingers which are okay, just not my cup of tea, but if you're into that I would suggest it for sure. The oysters...they were just sort of disappointing. They were literally so hot it was hard to scoop them out with a fork and spoon. The plate thing they came on was so hot my bread legit burnt to the plate. As you can see they are very much so overcooked, but the one big one at the bottom of the picture was good. It's just not their specialty which I'm really not sure what would be. Bummed out, we ordered more food. The knife and fork burger absolutely made up for it. She got the Mardi Gras pasta which said was also good. Didn't see any asparagus though like the menu reads. My burger though, cooked maybe not long enough (not complaining (ordered it cooked medium)) was really good. I didn't know it came with chili but also apparently pepper jack cheese, jalapeños and onion rings...there was nothing I would've changed about this. The fries were also incredible. The bun, the patty, the jalapeños, everything about the burger was amazing. There's a bit of seating as well as the bar, a few televisions around. It's not a great vibe, it's was almost empty and so quiet when we went. Our server was nice and patient. Not the kind of restaurant we were expecting, but not the worst choice possible. Overall, she was disappointed with the oysters, my burger made up for it for me, she said it was kinda expensive for what it was...just get your own experience, I'll leave it at that

    This wasn't really a destination meal. I would call it a "we're all tired, but hungry, so let's just go somewhere close by. This was it. We had 12 or 13 people in our party but had no issues getting seated together. Our orders had a wide range of selections. I had a burger, others had from club sandwiches to oysters to steak. The opinions were also a wide range regarding how well the food was enjoyed. My burger wasn't bad. Nothing special stuck out. Maybe too much bun compared to burger (the photo didn't capture it properly). It was a solid "C" for me. Only a couple of people said their meal was REALLY good. For the club sandwich, there wasn't enough mayo to soften the bread. I don't know if it was stale or that's how they keep it, but I watched as she tapped it with her fork and it sounded like a drum. We also had bread pudding with the same issue. It was just a slice of bread pudding ish with ice cream on top. No one finished it that ordered it. And the fried green tomatoes (which I didn't personally try) got poor reviews from those that tried them. Also, not finished by anyone. It's always hit or miss when dining at a hotel restaurant, but for me, this was a miss. But...had I been staying at this hotel and was in a pinch, I would order the burger again. I just wouldn't come as strictly a destination meal.

    I recently visited Baton Rouge, Louisiana and found myself famished after a long flight. It was a bit early for dinner so I decided to visit River Rouge Kitchen & Bar in the Baton Rouge Marriott that I was staying in. It just so happened to be happy hour they offered half-price appetizers. I decided to order the smoked chicken wings (buffalo with blue cheese on the side) and Rugaroux Shrimp. Both were delicious. I, also, enjoyed a single shit of Tito's vodka on the rocks. My coworker mentioned to me that she has dined at this restaurant for dinner before and really enjoyed her meal. The servers were all very kind and highly personable. I truly enjoyed the dining experience and would highly recommend them for other business travelers.

    Crawfish dip and pork rinds

    Our bartender was very attentive. We had fried chicken sandwiches and pork rinds and crawfish dip were a must have. Pairs well with a Long island ice tea to drink.

    Crawfish pepperjack dip

    First time in River Rouge and YOU have to go! It's the cutest little spot with amazing food. The crawfish pepper Jack dip is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The service we received from Bryan was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. He made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.

    Boudin egg rolls with pepper jelly
    Belinda B.

    As a local, I live on 35 minutes away. My husband & I go on what we call "date days" once a month. I wanted a place to have lunch that wasn't a chain. RR was our pick. Most people would never think to have lunch at a hotel, but I'm glad we did! We started with the boudin eggrolls. These are delicious and a change from our locals boudin & boudin balls. We both chose the fried chicken sandwich that came with fries. It was both great and very filling. Our waiter was the best! He made sure our drinks were full and our food was to our liking! He took the time to listen to our reasoning for coming and made us feel very welcome. We had conversations with him, and that made us even feel more welcome! For locals who want a different dining experience, head over to this hidden gem!!

    Wedge salad.

    A hotel bar and restaurant with an interesting menu. I had the wedge salad, which had a local flair by adding muffaleta ingredients. Friendly servers.

    Food was ok. Service was ok too. Many things unavailable. Which was very disappointing. Convenient if staying at the hotel.

    My friend and I LOVE apps and small plates. This is the perfect place. Also nothing here is above…read more40$ so it makes it even more enjoyable. 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.

    I was searching for something very specific and Google pointed me Pizza, Art, Wine. Every aspect of…read morethe dining experience was exceptional--especially my wonderful server, Heidi. She was so personable and attentive without being the least bit hovery. What a gem in the front of house! I started with a delightfully tangy cucumber martini and the dish I came in search of--beef carpaccio. It was beautifully presented and the flavors of quality beef, capers, shaved Parmesan, arugula and a tiny dash of red onion melded perfectly with the drizzles of delicious dressing. The drink and the app were batting 1000 and the pizza continued the streak. OMG the margharita pizza--I added mushrooms and halved cherry tomatoes--was perfectly fired. Sometimes, when dining alone, I won't eat all the crust, so I can enjoy the center of the pizza. Trust me when I say this is a pizza that you will want to eat every bite of the light crispy crust. The atmosphere is a high-end look with a relaxed vibe. I really enjoyed my meal and recommend you give this place a try if you want beautifully prepared food and drink delivered with 5-star service!!

I think their pizzas were amazing and highly recommend! I thought everything else was average. TOMATOES BASIL SOUP - typical, not amazing, not bad with croutons & fresh basili CAESAR - typical Caesar, nothing special Chopped romaine, garlic croutons, parmesan reggiano, caesar dressing CHUTNEY BRUSSELS SPROUTS - I liked this app better than the prosciutto which is super surprising. I don't usually like Brussel sprouts and I love prosciutto Oven roasted brussel, orange blossom honey glaze pistachio & goat chease APROSCIUTTO E MANGO - I was mildly disappointed in this cause I was thinking the mango flavor would be pretty prominent but it wasn't? savory prosciutto wrapped around creamy ricotta, sweet mango, and peppery arugula. Topped with crunchy pistachios, vibrant pesto, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. DI POLLO - also really liked this! Mozzarella, mushroom, blackened Chicken, red onion, Roasted red peppers DOLCE VITA - I liked this a lot! Burrata, Prosciutto Crudo, Arugula and Balsamic Glaze Desserts: CHOCOLATE FUDGE LAYER CAKE - tasty! Like the cake below, I just wish the chocolate flavor was stronger LIMONCELLO MASCARPONE - wasn't my favorite. I wish the lemon was stronger. Overall didn't think it had much flavor
