How have I lived in Baton Rouge for decades and never knew French Market Bistro is the swinger headquarters?
Hmmm … I heard superior grill on government on Tuesday or Wednesday nights

I love that someone is bringing something new to BR, but this city is circling the drain and once the excitement wears off, the everyday trash will begin patronizing it and it’ll be ruined. I would feel like a scumbag for encouraging anyone to invest money into BR. Just let it die.
That dress code is absolutely going to make them the subject of an article in The Advocate or at least a locally viral Facebook post.

I routinely spend a lot of money on food; I have a hard time seeing myself spending a lot of money on food that looks like that
Completely agree. The food looks like stuff I cook at home. I’ll save my money and eat at places like Eliza and Beausoleil where I can dine on good food created by a chef and less attention to a fake “vibe”

God dammit. This is the second post about me chuggin dicks in this dark and shady new fancy restaurant. It's way too rich for my wallet. But I guess I'm flattered.

So is this new place to go cougar hunting then?

Did they intentionally misspell “Oscar” in one of the toppings?
Or is that just me not being refined and elegant enough?
Hierloom Beets
Arugala
Brussel Sprouts
The misspellings are hilarious.

Ok so we have the following: 1. Created by Brandon Landry (who probably did years of research for this and knows what the frick he is doing) 2. A really, really expensive menu 3. A really, really exclusive vibe 4. Located in South BR where keeping up with the Jones’ and “being seen” is a way of life. Explain to me how this fails?
Because restaurants have a high failure rate in the first 1-2 years. Could be simply playing the odds.

the weirdo swingers club, and those people are going to be at French Market Bistro on any given night.
I keep seeing this about French Market Bistro in this thread. We eat there probably once a month, actually going tomorrow night. I’ve never heard this about that place and have never noticed anything. Now I’m going to look at everyone there and think they are swingers. Is there sometime I need to look out for? I’m very naive when it comes to things like this.

yeah someone needs to give some details on the swinging thing. I've not heard of it. Also, can someone update the Coastal Bridge thread?

Some Kraft macaroni and cheese would go really nicely with that baked chicken and mashed potatoes

This policy drives me bananas. The point of making a reservation is so you don't have to stand around in the lobby waiting.

I understand, but if you e ever worked in the restaurant business, you would understand. People tend to grossly over estimate how many people are going to come to their party. This leads to problems when you hold up 4 tables for 12 people but only 6 show up, 18 show up and demand other tables that may be waiting for a reservation, or don’t show up at all and half your dining room is sitting empty.

Since when is Arugula spelled Arugala? For that much money, I want a menu that is spell checked.
I'm so tired of pretentious menus where it seems they try to write a paragraph about how special their grilled cheese dish is. It's as if they charge for the item by the word.
Presentation is not what I'd expect either.

I remember as a kid listening to radio commercials in New Orleans telling us what washed-up celebrity was starring in the dinner play at the Beverly Dinner Playhouse.
I also remember my parents going to the Playhouse on "special occasions" and bringing home the program.

I hear you, but a restaurant that takes reservations is in the business of serving the customer. So, if I have a reservation and I'm there on time, they best show me to my table and take my drink order. It's called a "wait" staff for a reason. They need to wait on me, not the other way around. Making guests stand around when their table is clearly ready and available is like punishing them for having a straggler in their party.
For example, I was the first to arrive at Ruth's for lunch earlier this week. When I arrived and gave my name, the host said, "Yes, ma'am, your table is ready. Right this way." That's all I want to hear!
