Our second time eating at Doe's and like the first time, did not disappoint! Food is excellent. We each had the filet mignon. A house salad comes with it, but you can upgrade for a different salad. The house salad was just fine with us. The biscuits served with the dinner are to die for! The are really less like biscuits and more like small, fluffy beignets without the sugar. Carly at the bar is very pleasant and makes great cocktails. We will definitely be back again!

Our dining experience last night was excellent. The food, service and atmosphere went above and beyond our expectations. I had requested a table for 8 instead of the long one and my request was honored. We have decided that it will be one of our Christmas traditions every year.

The only place to get true Creole food is in Louisiana, or at least in someone from Louisiana’s kitchen. Come reste un peu (stay awhile) to downtown Baton Rouge and visit Chef Mark Reilly's Creole kitchen.
