Eliza Restaurant

This local restaurant seems to offer a blend of New Orleans-style food but with a unique contemporary twist. The atmosphere is both clean and inviting. The owners stress locally-sourced and high quality ingredients. The first time I went was to try out their Weekly 3-Course Menu (offered Monday to Wednesday) which was about $30. I was impressed and felt I received value for my money. I will make this restaurant a regular choice from now.

What a delightful surprise! We were here during Restaurant Week so prices were even better. The server was extremely knowledgeable regarding what was GF and clarified that the fryer was used for other items with breading so wasn't safe for those with celiac. I had Gumbo Ya-Ya that had fabulous flavors and my daughter had the Mixed Salad with goat cheese, pecans, etc. We had shrimp and grits as a main course, and it was delicious. Desserts were very reasonably priced. We had the Banana Pudding, but had to take it to the hotel for later. Too full from dinner. Excellent experience and highly recommend.

I drove to Louisiana specifically to seek out southern cuisine. I left Eliza restaurant extremely satisfied.

All of the seafood is locally sourced. The appetizer I’ve posted with my review is the Fried Green Tomatoes. It was delectable. The best cooked shrimp I have ever had.. and I’m from the northeast. The flavors were balanced and it was a fantastic way to start a meal.

For entrees we got shrimp and grits and the Eliza crab cakes. Almost to die for. The crab cake is full of huge crab chunks. Not any fillers. Just straight up crab.. and a lot of it. Seasoned to perfection. Paired with corn and hand cut fries.

An appetizer and two incredible entrees. And their prices are fair. Nothing too crazy or unaffordable for a nice meal.

My service was excellent. She was enthusiastic, polite, attentive. All of my food came out faster than expected.

This place.. amazing. A true gem. Thank you for such a great first meal in Baton Rouge.

Adorable place we had lunch at and enjoyed a few different dishes! Very good southern food.

I really had high hopes for this place after seeing one of their dishes in a magazine. It is a fancier type atmosphere prices accordingly. I do not mind paying for quality i prefer quality to quantity any day. But overall I was let down on our first trip here. The food all looked great and presentation was nice I will give them that.

The fried green tomatoes appetizer was very good though the remoulade type sauce on it was a bit on the sour side for me especially going on an already tangy vegetable. The shrimp on top were big and cooked perfectly.

I ordered the fried seafood platter with all 3 items fish shrimp and oysters for 25 dollars. I was very disappointed in just about all of it. The catfish had a very muddy fishy dirty flavor that allot of places that serve catfish have but the good places have clean tasting catfish, this place was on the bad side of that but not the worst I've ever had. The oysters were very small and also had a strong fishy dirty taste unlike oysters I get from other places that I frequent, and the fries were soggy and tasted just like the oysters and somehow even more of a fishy smell and taste to the fries. The shrimp were good, the coleslaw was just ok. Their tatar sauce was also not to my liking. I am much more pleased with I get at other places for around 17 bucks with much better seafood

My girlfriend got the eggplant and crawfish pasta. It tasted ok but was very dry not much of any sauce on the noodles. The eggplant was way undercooked and the crawfish tails had to be chinese , they were super tiny and hard as rocks kinda rubbery with no flavor. For 17 dollar pasta dish we were highly disappointed I cannot believe they use chinese crawfish tails or if they arent chinese they are the tiniest ove ever seen come from Louisiana.

Over all after tip it was 70 bucks for lunch for less than mediocre food, maybe we ordered stuff they aren't their best dishes but we maybe may not return for another attempt.

In all honesty I have had much better meals with similar food at casual style seafood and poboy shops with just as big if not bigger portions.

I also ordered a dirty martini on their 1.50 happy hour and it tasted like an entire glass of olive juice with a splash of gin.

It wasnt the worst meal I've ever had but not near satisfied from a sort of place this is supposed to be
