some friends suggested that we try the place last night. fantastic! i lived in new orleans for 11 years , and i've been looking for a restaurant in baton rouge that has the creativity of the old stella. found.
the table split a variety of appetizers, small plates, a main course and desserts; all delicious. what makes it so special is the chef's unique approach to preparation, textures, presentation and sauces. lamb empanadas, beet salad, seafood dip, tuna carpaccio, prime rib, apple crustade . . . delicious. we will be back.
the wait was not a problem. i recommend the bar across the courtyard in the same restaurant. the bartenders have some truly interesting drinks that our party thoroughly enjoyed.
i hope the place sticks in baton rouge. it is not your standard large plate of southern food. . . thankfully.
