The service was great all-around. Especially from our bartender named Bryan. I would highly recommend.

This place is inside the Marriot hotel. It was very nice and clean. I went during happy hour. I had a few chargrilled oysters and a cocktail. I think it was a River Rouge Cosmo. Both were delicious, but I could have used a little more seasoning on the oysters though. I ordered the crab and corn soup and wings to go. That soup was so dang good. I can see having a bowl of it on a cold day. The portion size was great for $7 bucks. The garlic parmesan wings were well seasoned and juicy. I would get those again too. Service was excellent. It's how it should be done everywhere. I will probably visit again when I am back in the area. The food and service were worth it. I didn't take any picture but I will next time. read more

Solid Breakfast, especially when it is free. This is the hotel restaurant in the Baton Rouge Marriott. Since I stay here yearly for our work Christmas Party, I have become fond of this hotel for several reasons. I don't like that the lounge is closed on weekends, but I do like that status members (platinum and above) get a voucher for a free breakfast. That makes this a great deal for me. At around 30-35 per person, otherwise, it may not be a great deal for you (Louie's isn't that far away). Breakfast here is either buffet style or order off of the menu. The buffet has many different options, including the standards. The eggs are good, the potatoes are very good, and the meats are also very good. There is hot sauce available, and service is always friendly and prompt. Best news? The voucher covers gratuity as well! Note: The bar is also great. There is a solid selection of beer and bourbon. Expect to pay hotel prices, but after all, you are at a hotel. Shout out to the super friendly artenders! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Not the most amazing food in BR but if staying at the Marriott def a solid place. Nice happy hour and specials and the wait staff is really good and friendly. Fresh food and strong drinks. You can't go wrong there. Also, the key lime pie is simple but solid. read more

The restaurant was spacious and nicely decorated, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Dishes came out quickly and were wellpresented. I ordered a lunch set with a main, soup, and dessert it was generous and well-balanced,. Staff were polite and attentive throughout the meal.! read more

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 read more

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. read more

Wonderful atmosphere and food. The service was amazing. Drinks, appetizers, everything was great.

Our waiter was amazing! We were well taken care of. The pizza hit the spot after a long day. The steak sandwich is tasty as well!

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. read more

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

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. read more

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!! read more
