About the restaurant
Bistro Byronz was born from the simple definition of a true bistro: an unpretentious neighborhood restaurant where friends and families gather day and night to relax, share conversation and enjoy good food and drink at reasonable prices. From that day on, we have prided ourselves in serving deliciously simple, bistro-inspired dishes done the Southern way — comfortable yet special, casual yet elegant, and a bit curious and undefined.

A Southern version of the quaint cafes in Paris, with the sophistication and casual flare of New York City bistros, incorporating the flavors, culture and lagniappe of Louisiana was to us the perfect and distinct approach.

My wife and I took our boys to celebrate one of their birthdays. Diana was our server and she was fantastic! Very personable and attentive - seriously ask for her! You could tell she wanted to do a good job. She also treated our boys the same as she treated us. The food was top notch, the salad bar was amazing. We even had 2 buffet managers come by to check on us. Believe it or not, the flank steak was my favorite, along with the crème brûlée for dessert.

Our experience would have been better if it hadn’t been disturbed by the child at the next table making constant shrill noises. Of course, this wasn’t the restaurant’s fault. However, the food took too long to be served, although it was good. Our server seemed to be in charge of too many tables.

About the restaurant
The Gregory at The Watermark Hotel is Baton Rouge, Louisiana's premier destination for modern food & wine. Located off the lobby of the hotel, in the former Bank of Louisiana, our restaurant is centered between an open kitchen and a full bar surrounded by murals painted by the artist of who the restaurant is named, Angela Gregory. Chefs Patrick Trahan, Brock Nichols, and Jonathan White design menus that utilize fresh and local produce and available organic proteins that offer twists on Southern classics in a modern farm-to-table menu. As a Louisiana native, Patrick influences Southern cooking styles by employing our wood-stone oven, Spanish Josper oven, and cast-iron grill to elevate flavors and create one-of-a-kind dishes in the downtown Baton Rouge area.

Vic and Anthony’s did not disappoint… 46th wedding anniversary dinner… It was everything you would expect from this steakhouse… I had the bone-in filet and lobster bisque for starters…. The bisque is candy, so good! Filet was cooked perfectly.. and since it was an anniversary dinner we had the Croissant Bread Pudding and it was absolutely amazing!! The best dessert I’ve ever eaten…

About the restaurant
The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.
