Restaurants near Louisiana State Capitol

We have a great time for Valentine's day. Our water Waylan was great and so were all the other servers helping. It was a hectic day and they all handled it with great care and service. My first steak was overcooked and they were able to get it redone very quickly and it came back out perfectly!

One of the most fantastic meals in Baton Rouge. The detail down to the cutlery, the gifted rose, the curated music, the lighting, the table spacing. 10/10 an amazing date night spot. Seafood dishes were excellent and fresh. Steak wasn’t cooked as ordered, but didn’t matter. The sauce was wonderful. Lobster and crab ravioli was to die for. Could have been plated not in a bowl, maybe in a deep dish plate because cutting them in a bowl was quite a hassle and then fishing them out of the large amount of liquid sauce was messy. But the taste was wonderful. The red velvet cake was a great choice. Cocktails are STRONG and delicious. Will be coming back monthly.

Cecilia Creole Bistro is outstanding! I had the filet and it was perfect! Sides are excellent. It's a tad tricky if you're eating KETO but it can be done. Wife had the Redfish Cecilia - grilled and it was mouth watering. (I tried a bite!) Everything served has an excellent presentation. Service is great but they don't hover. We don't drink so I can't say anything about cocktails. Some very interesting appetizer choices... definitely try the brussels sprouts and the cornbread! Prices are very reasonable considering the gourmet preparation! We love it! P.S. The pre-written choices for what makes this place special are way off base! (pet friendly, brunch, outside seating, etc. Just know that this place is worth checking out for date night in downtown Baton Rouge. Parking on the street or in a lot close by. MAKE A RESERVATION! Enjoy! Bon Appetit!

It was amazing we were celebrating our friend’s anniversary. Jennifer was a wonderful serve very attentive to our needs. We relaxed enjoyed a glass of champagne and wine then had the lobster bisque and onion soup which was delicious. All had steaks which were perfect. Jennifer brought them a beautiful cheesecake dessert which was enjoyed by all.

Stroubes is a very good choice if you are in Downtown Baton Rouge looking for a place to eat. The menu covers pork - steak - seafood. The bar drinks are good and within the normal for pricing. There is not a lot of “fluff” to the menu which makes ordering easy. Good date night kind of place.
