Baton Rouge - Dollard-Des Ormeaux

We were greeted upon arrival for our friends and sitting together for dinner; they did a great job at spreading tables given in the quiet evening, so we did not overcrow. The chickens tender and Caesar salad were delicious with a large part. Service was excellent...our evening.... waterglasses never empty and allowed to chat long after our meal. Free parking on the front.

As usual a very pleasant experience, went to dinner for my birthday, and was happy I did. the food was excellent and plentiful of service great... our server Denis, was very helpful, pleasant, polite.

I ordered the PICANHA STEAK 8 OZ. the menu said Grilled picanha steak seasoned with our signature spice mix. Served with seasonal vegetables My complaint. The steak had so much connective tissue and so was very difficult to cut, let alone eating that I almost half (after trying to eat and then not able to swallow). It was definitely not delicate as mentioned below in the menu. I had not expected a fillet mignon, but even something like a flank steak would have been more edible. The vegetables were not cooked enough. I like my vegetables a little hard, but that was almost raw. I was honest with the server. I usually close my mouth, but this time I couldn't. When our bill arrived, I expected a discount because 1/2 of the steak was not consumed and I had left all my vegetables. I ate 1/2 potatoes. I calculated the full price. I then asked if I should get a discount. the server checked, but could only give 15%. So disappointing...

This is our first time in a restaurant since Covid 19. We are 3 pairs of 6 good friends, we all missed to go out and I chose this restaurant because it had a terrace. I reserved a table for 6 last week and we kept my reservation well. For 19:30. We're in time and our table was ready. Outside! Perfect. Our waiter Dennis was super attentive and helpful. We get paper menus and u need to ask for bread or S P comes in small packages. Also a beer. And 1/2 serving ribs and sweet potato friries! We need to ask for ketchup. We celebrated all birthdays. Dennis was nice enough to share 2 desserts! Coffee and tea too!! My husband ordered the salmon and the vegetables. Our friends had rib steak and ribs! We were so glad to get out of FINALLY! It started raining we decided that it was time to go!

We went with a sport team, over 40 persons including 15 kids. These team dinners can sometimes be a nightmare. But it was not, the food was excellent, but the service set this apart, it was well organized and Tristan who was very busy, never...stopped smiling and being helpful and pleasant.
