Our group of six had a lovely lunch with quick and excellent service. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers — gumbo, salads, and crab cake. The entrees were all good from burgers to eggplant Napoleon to redfish. The restaurant had beautiful Christmas decorations, so the whole experience was a highlight of our day.

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.

Due to thunderstorms, we stayed at our hotel (the Watermark) for dinner at the Gregory. Our experience was very enjoyable and both our waiter (Christopher) and the host (Zelvin) were so helpful and friendly. The food was good and portions were generous. A very enjoyable evening. By the way, we did breakfast the next morning. The coffee was so wonderful and robust. The hominy grits were also amazing @
