Gallatoire's is always seemingly empty, so that's a solid call. A shame.

Damn, really? I've only been once for a graduation dinner in 2014 (because I'm poor) but it was packed and an awesome experience then. What's happened?

I've only been to that location twice, and it was fairly empty when we went. It was a nice experience, no complaints. I would think that's a very nice location. Not to fully agree with what the Pelican House chef said about BR (horrible business decision on his part), but I personally think there's only so much room for restaurants with a price point like Gallatoire's in BR.


eta: to defend Baton Rouge residents, I don't find many-if any-of the restaurants people have listed so far would have survived in Lafayette or NOLA.

It was only a matter of time before they closed. Went once and the service was the worst I have ever had. The only time the server talked to us was to take our order. We had to go to the bar ourselves to order our drinks. He had the table next to us and we were trying to flag him down to order drinks, but he just looked right past us. We told the manager and he just blew us off. It is music to my ears that they are not doing well, because I'm sure if we were treated that way, they treated others the same way and that will only get you so far trying to make it in a tough city for restaurants.
