    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

Carrabba's sprinkler system had been activated before I arrived at 8p. The Silly Rabbit Comedy Club was offering a late show so I was hoping to dine in. I was greeted by an attractive group of staff upon entering who showed me to the bar area. I was happy that the bar area offers booths. The menu has no prices(should've been a red flag.) 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! I tried winging it so I ordered the Petite Filet Mignon, Flemings Potatoes, and a tea. The interior was nice and dark as I like my dining establishments to be. I attempted to view the main dining area but the Christmas decoration(border) was literally blocking the view. I couldn't see without standing. There were only two of us at the bar. It was creeping to 845p now and I asked my waitress to change it "to go." Immediately my order is presented to me. My bill was three times what I expected to pay. All I received was meat and potatoes. I've prepared better tasting steak in a crock pot. I've thought about returning but I won't after reading this is standard for Flemings. Flemings kept every ounce of flavor for themselves. Yes I ate it cold but I don't believe it would've been any better if it was warm.
