• Creole • Baton Rouge

Booked 2 times today

At first glance, you might think the name of Rouj Creole is misspelled. Besides “rouj” instead of “roux,” a quick scan of the new restaurant’s menu shows the word “gonbo” where you’d expect to find “gumbo.”But owner Stephen Hightower isn’t a bad speller. He’s just bringing Baton Rouge a taste of Creole cuisine—complete with the authentic Haitian Creole spelling of traditional dishes.

• Japanese • Baton Rouge

What sets Ichiban distinctively apart from other sushi restaurants is flavor. You can actually taste specific individual ingredients in each roll. The flavors combine and complement each other…they create a sensation like few other sushi restaurants have accomplished. It’s more interesting to eat something with distinctive textures and personality than those with limited flavor denotations…relying on heavy sweet sauces.Ichiban means ‘number 1’ in Japanese. Mixing traditional with blazingly contemporary, the food, beverage and dining experience of Ichiban is carefully designed to elevate any lunch or dinner. Serving only the freshest Sashimi, meticulously handcrafted sushi and world class Hibachi. Ichiban defines the ultimate Japanese dining experience.

We had friends in from out of town for holiday lunch. Were able to arrange with chef to serve the turtle soup and duck & boursin crepes which we paired with the crabcakes to have our own Petite Réveillon lunch! Thank you, chef! A gorgeous holiday celebration!!!

He food was delicious. The beet salad was perfection. I had the lobster gnocchi, it was well worth the price. My companion had the short rib sandwich which he throughly enjoyed. The decor is very nice. Wonderful experience. We will definitely return.

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!
