Eliza Restaurant & Bar

Food was delicious, very fresh and well prepared. Flavors and textures popped in my mouth. Service excellent and friendly. Very quick. Nice cozy intimate atmosphere. Wish it was a lil cheaper but feel it was worth it. Also would have been nice to have some complementary bread.

Had an early dinner at Eliza's. The service was friendly and prompt. The food was fresh and menu was thoughtful toward fresh local ingredients. Great wine and cocktails selection too. The atmosphere was inviting as well. We had an excellent dinner and will be back.

I absolutely recommend Eliza's. The dining area is not very big so make reservations. There's outside seating as well. The parking lot was large but there weren't many parking spots available close to the restaurant. On with it. Let's say our experience was a very good one. Host and server was very informative and professional. Hubby says he would describe the food as delicious and elevated. We had the Blue Crab Dip, Pork Chop, Rabbit Ragu and Carrot Cake. All of it was very very good. Temperature, flavor and presentation was on point. Rabbit Ragu taste like there was lemongrass in it. If it did or it didn't, it was delectable. The vegetable of the day was butter bean's and that was good too. I do want to return to try the other items on the menu.

Updated review: we came back 5 years later and WOW. Eliza procures their ingredients locally, and it truly shows. This is THE date spot in Baton Rouge, and I can't believe I've been sleeping on them for years. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and the ambiance is great for both. The staff here is so attentive and friendly. Summer was amazing and deserves a raise. Let's talk food:The eggplant appetizer was so refreshing and flavorful!! That pesto will be in my dreams tonight. The watermelon gimlet is a new favorite. Great balance of flavors!The gumbo ya ya was a delight. Great roux color, and I will stan any restaurant that gives me popcorn rice. Good rice to juice ratio. Can't wait to come back in the winter to get my cozy gumbo vibes.

Service good-our server made suggestions and attended to our concerns. To be a pricey restaurant it is situated in like a strip mall ( outdoor seating available-but looks like a mom and pop type indoors. Margarita is good but tiny for $14 dollars. Lemon Icebox pie frozen. Filet was ordered medium but came out well dine and charred ( server got us another one). Crispy potatoes tasty. Rabbit pasta was good-tomato taste. Crab cakes were decent topping gave them flavor-grits typical. Nice server gave us the option to substitute . Probably won't return next visit-server was the best part of the visit.

The food wasn't bad but for the price I expected much better. I had the fried seafood sampler platter. It was anything special and had the same quality as a fast food place. Unfortunately, at a premium price.

Server was amazing. Food was way over priced and...yeah. We got the seafood platter at 35. The oysters tasted off. The catfish had NO flavor. There was no seasoning on the fish or the breading. The fried shrimp was the same. Wouldn't go back. It's not hard to at least add salt.

I can't rave enough about Eliza. The restaurant accepted our last minute reservation and we arrived to find our table ready. Our server was fantastic. She knew the menu intimately and was able to advise us about dishes that were safe for our dietary needs. Eliza's chef was able to make our dishes gluten free, prepared in a dedicated fryer. We enjoyed the fried green tomatoes and I'm telling you, they were the best I've ever had! Each dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommended for service, ambiance and tasty, authentic southern cuisine.

Favorite restaurant in BR. Love the grilled fish and crab cakes. Love the old fashioned drinks!

I visited for lunch and was disappointed in the menu options. I didn't see any of the items that reviewers posted. The waitress informed me that they had changed their menu in October. Unfortunately none of the new items appealed to me. I ended up getting the skillet cornbread which was VERY dry!! ( please go to Cecelia Creole Bistro for theirs) The butter that came with it was good but didn't help with the dryness. The fried fish appetizer was good. Make sure you look at the new menu before going.
