copeland's cheesecake bistro

new menu = disappointment. this restaurant recently changed their menu and got rid of many customer favorites. the food is overpriced and mediocre. i've been twice in the past month and gotten different things and both were not very good. however the cheesecake is still incredible. if you're going to eat here, just go for drinks and dessert. don't bother with the entrees.

food and drinks is so good. love it!

the menu has changed so much its not easily recognized anymore..as i sat my waiter informed me that it would be changing again next week...

i used to frequent this resturant often a few years ago. i would always stick with my fav dish - bbq shrimp linguine. once the 'new look' and 'new menu' came about- it was totally disappointing!! the portions shrunk drastically! prices went up significantly! and you can't even order 'lunch' portions of the entrees anymore! once i got my 'full size entree', i realized why they don't do lunch portions any longer! the full size portions were soooo much smaller than the 'lunch portions' used to be! they could not possibly get smaller! and the price is ridiculous!! i am sooooo very disappointed because this used to be my favorite place to eat! whoever 'revamped' the place should be ashamed of themselve...they took a fantastic resturant and really screwed it up! we no longer go there...because we r tired of being disappointed!

went there for my girlfriends birthday. was total of 5 in our party. has been a while since i have been here. i was mixed on this trip. 

we had the crab and crawfish bake for appetizer. it was very good though very small for a shareable appetizer. each person only got one small piece of toast with some dip on it. 

food came out in a timely manner. most was good though one salmon dish had to be sent back as it was so salty. i tried to myself and could not eat a full bite it was so salty. manager was accommodating and brought another one out and discounted the bill a bit for it. 

shrimp st. charles pasta was just ok. the shrimp in it was way overcooked and it was sort of bland with not much of any sauce. the bbq shrimp pasta bread bowl thing was very good, well seasoned and big shrimp that were cooked well. the drum with crawfish cream sauce was very good and the penne pasta with shrimp sausage and chicken was very good as well.   

we ordered cheese cake for dessert and was disappointed with a few things. it took forever to come out. i also remember their pieces of cheesecake being much larger than what we got...for the price they charge per piece it was kind of disappointing what we were brought. one piece was larger than the other for sure but both seemed way smaller than i remember getting when this place first opened years back. the cookies and creams piece was good though ..the red velvet one was kind of so so ..no one really liked it. 

we also ordered 2 cafe au lait coffees that took even longer to come out, i am talking 20 minutes or more ....the waiter kept telling us they were waiting on steaming the milk (steamed milk in cafe au lait?). dessert was almost done being eaten when it finally came. and shockingly after waiting so long for steamed milk and to make the coffee it was barely warm and did not taste like cafe au lait...it had some cinnamon and coco powder tasting stuff in it ..was not pleased with it to say the least. we also were not happy with the service in full. we kept needing things that should have been there from the start like spoons to stir our iced tea..we asked for some and were brought one when we all had tea, and other general things like this occurred all dinner long. even when check came was no pen and could not flag down waiter to get one, we finally ended up finding one of our own before he got one to us.

the quality has went down tremendously and the staff has no guidance. my family sat at the table after receiving our food waiting for drink refills and the waitress never came. we ate our entire meal and still no waitress. i finally walked up to the drink area only to find her leaning on the counter playing on her cell phone and asked for refills which never came. finally had to stop another worker and ask fo my ticket. all the workers just stood around laughing and talking except for an older guy. that's a shame that they do not have a supervisor making sure they are doing their job.

the service was very good and the wait staff was very knowledgeable. the white chocolate macadamia nut cheesecake was amazing! loved it, you can’t go wrong with the cheesecake here no matter which you try. the lasagna i had on the other hand was good but was a bit acidic for my taste. the sauce needed to be cooked down a little more or maybe a little sugar to balance the acid. it didn’t upset my stomach and i ate it all so it wasn’t all bad. i’ve just had better. i would go back to try another entree if only to have the cheesecake again lol enjoy

if you want crappy service with barely edible food then this is your place. waited 5 minutes to be seated though they weren't that busy. then 5 minutes for the waitress to come by and take our drink order. slow to fill drinks, wrong drinks delivered. i got the crescent city chicken salad which was good. my son got mac n cheese and something else non memorable. bland food. his turtle cheesecake was ok.

ordered a salad and it took about 45 minutes for it to come out. the service was slow in general and it took about 15 minutes to get our bill rang up. the food was ok but not worth the wait. will not be going back.

i hadn't been there in a while & had high expectations. but i must say the food wasn't super impressive tonight. we started with the crab & crawfish bake. that was divine, but we could have used a couple more toast pieces. the sex in the city martini was good, too! i ordered the paneed chicken over crawfish linguini. the chicken was seasoned well, but the linguini was a bit bland, the crawfish were sparse & it could have benefited from more sauce. in lieu of a dessert, i decided i wanted a cold coffee drink but with alcohol. so i ordered a white chocolate mocha, add bailey's. i should have just ordered coffee with bailey's & told them to put whipped cream on top of it, because they charged me for two drinks & and i could sense no alcohol in it at all. overall, it was okay, but i'm over cheesecake bistro for a while.

got the chicken fried chicken cos my benchmark for the dish was set by chelsea's and boy did these guys beat it by a mile! good food, good prices too. service - can get better. surely heading back again soon.

abita amber ale. aaa meeting

hope was the rudest manager ever along with her employee. first off, i love copelands and cheesecake bistro. i'm usually patronizing the one in bossier, la because thats where i'm from yet, i've always had phenomenal service and felt appreciated. i'm in school in baton rouge i decided to visit cheesecake bistro on bluebonnet. i received a buy one get on free cheesecake coupon via email because of the company was promoting the new pumpkin flavor cheesecake. after my night class i drove all the way to cheesecake bistro from across town and arrived at 9:50 pm. i stood at the cheesecake counter for about 10 minutes and the employee did not address me until i asked her could i get a piece of the pumpkin spice cheesecake so that i could use my coupon. i was told no were out and that they would not allow me to use the cheesecake for another type of cheesecake. she was very unapologetic, rude, and just seemed as if she didn't want to be at work. i asked for a manager. hope, the manager, came over with the nastiest sarcasactic attitude. her demeanor was unpleasant and she was very rude. i explained to her that my colleagues and i had driven all the way there and would like to either use the coupon for another pumpkin flavored dessert or at least expect to feel as if cheesecake bistro was apologetic and would hope that we would patronize in the future even though we were inconvenienced. the only thing hope stated was that they ran out, it was 30 mins to closing and i could have went to the other restaurant (copeland's) wow! factually speaking it was 10:06 and i couldn't believe she would tell a customer that i could of went somewhere else. in addition copeland's closes at 10.

i asked for the general mangers information. she gave me his name, however i had to ask for the phone number. i then asked for her name, and she sarcastically uttered it's "hope, would you like me to write it down".

with that being said, if your looking for bad service, visit cheesecake bistro on bluebonnnet and if by some unfortunate chance their a discrepancy in your experience, i hope you don't get hope as your manager because she'll definitely change your perception on the entire restaurant.

childish host!. i called into set special arrangements for my finance, so i requested to speak with a manager & host hung up on me. second i called again to speak with a manager & the little host pretended to be the host. i would like that cheesecake bistro for allowing this to take part! my money will do fine elsewhere.

sweet deceit*. sugar free cheesecake, sooooo good!!

fried eggplant is a must.. the fried eggplant is amazing. the cheesecake, as it should, delights and doesn't disappoint. i had the praline cheesecake and oh my yum!!! so good. my entree was blackened chicken with tomato basil and mozzarella ravioli and it was one of the best dishes i have ever had. i hope they add it to their menu for good! great great.
