We thought the food was excellent. You just have to wonder if the service will consistently be great and the food quality staying at a high level. Otherwise, it is really really hard to compete with Ruth's.

Like I said earlier, a lot of the crowd will be people not driving into Baton Rouge for that type of meal.



I'm sure the food was good but for a New York Strip at $41 I want to go somewhere that I know is going to cook it perfect.

I just don't see "not having to drive into town" keeping them afloat for longer than 6 months

i really cant get over the $41 NY Strip at this place.

we were gonna try it simply because it is near our house and something better than fried food from Sammy's would be nice. now i think im gonna skip it all together because the people running this place are clearly out of their minds

I dont have a problem paying $35+ for a steak at an established place that I know is going to serve me a steak worth that price

Soft opening possibly..,all restaurants need one. This was info I got directly from Kevin. Also read Melanie Way would be the GM in the article but unsure how Kevin would fit in if that's the case. He knows the restaurant side of things well. She seems to be someone who knows everyone in Central.

Maybe there's some sort of Co GMs. Don't know, but Kevin said he was the GM. I know that much.

sounds more like marketing type. hiring someone to be your GM who simply knows alot of people and nothing about restaurants sounds like great idea #2.

She ran and owned a coffee shop and has a degree in accounting and finance?

Kevin only recently accepted the position after the article I read was written.

Got lunch from here today. Let me preface that a 6 person lunch was $112. That being said, I personally tried the boudin spring rolls, good but sauce made it awesome. Seafood beignets were really bland. Caprese salas was really good. Crab cake ok, nothing to write home about.
