What a cozy place with fine dining in a casual setting- Love this! Baton Rouge has lost sight of places like these. Im usually at French Market Bistro on Friday night but I went out to Bonefish Grill this last Friday and it took 2 hours to serve us 1 app and 3 entrees, plus they were out of one entree which they didnt let us know until last minute before the other plates were brought. Very commercial! And not intimate! Will be back at the Bistro next Friday!

Since the manager is posting right now, I will get to vent about my lunch there...$52 for two pieces of fish with "tiger sauce" (which was average at best...did not enhance the flavor of the fish at all) and bland steamed veggies. Luckily, it fell under client development and I was reimbursed.

Don't these newbies know anything? You don't post a exemplary review of a restaurant on the first post or else you will give yourself away as the manager/owner/family member of said place. You do it on your 8th post.

yeah probably so. Can always thrown chicken a bone and spring for some advertising?

But, yes, I do like French Market Bistro.
TA you should've known better than to order something called the "Tiger Sauce" .

took my 9 yr old daughter there the other day while we were goofing the day off...

my roast beef poboy was solid
and her crab cakes and cream of brie & crabmeat soup was also pretty good


we sat outside out front since i was such a nice day... an older lady told me the same people owned Mansurs, i didn't know that...

Yeah, I bet.....working


Still one of my fav places, I think they have the best fish specials, service is always on spot, sorry to hear about your bad exp TA, but give them another try

Coonasschic... Chicken would be happy to discuss advertising packages with you, and I agree Bonefish sucks

I like your ribeye but the sizzlign plate's gotta go. That hot plate continues to cook my medium rare ribeye and by the second half of the steak, it was medium well. Turrible just turrible.

It's a shame that you are tarnishing the reputation of a pretty good place in BR with your idiotic post.It makes me rethink my loyalty.

A bartender for 14 years who's off every Friday raises questions as well.

Don't worry about them. They're harmless.
