    We have been to this location many times, and everything is usually great……but tonight (11/25/23) I don’t know what happened. We sat in the lounge as we always do. We were served by Viktoria the bartender. Out drinks came quick as well as our apps. We waited an hour for our dinner even though there were many empty tables in the bar area. My wife ordered her favorite salmon dish. Upon getting home my wife’s stomach got really upset and was sick all night and well into the next day. This location is one of favorite places to go but after this experience I’m not sure we want to return.

    Baton Rouge is as good as it gets in neighborhood dining. It costs about the same as downtown steak houses but is a decent value as these things go. The ambience is great and our waiter was outstanding. We had lobster tails and ribs, both fine, and shared an excellent chocolate cake dessert. For a fine mainstream dining experience in Markham, Baton Rouge is a satisfying choice.

    They need to better define key allergens in menu. No indication of gluten or dairy. Waiter did not know answers and consulted a book. We then read the book and discovered he had read it wrong. A little frustrating but he was very good natured and apologetic

    Had the ribs which was tasty but there was barely any meat on them. Even the coleslaw was smaller than before. The server asked if we wanted to substitute fries for mashed potatoes which we did, but didn't mention that there's extra charge of $5. A glass of red wine cost me $19. You can get a whole bottle for that price. So didn't feel like a great value for the money we spent. I think people will start to cook at home.

    Ambience and service were great. While it’s been about 2 years since my last visit was surprised to see how the portion sizes have shrunk although the food quality is still very good. I’d be ok to spend a few more dollars per entree to get larger portions - more inline with other establishments.

    The menu has really improved - especially the addition of some very interesting salad and seafood choices. We find the steaks and prime rib a bit pricey - it is a dramatic difference from the other more reasonable choices.

    Took an hour to receive our food. Service was just ok. Chips and spinach dip were cheap quality for high price. Not a lot of vegetables with steak dinner. Spent almost 200$ and will not be going back.

    Our party of four enjoyed our business meeting at Baton Rouge. The service was excellent, attentive yet not overbearing. The menu offered a good variety of interesting dishes and the food was very good. The noise level was acceptable for our group allowing us to have meaningful conversations. We will return again for a future meal.

    Waitress charged us incorrectly for a $47 filet mignon instead of what we actually ordered a $32 top sirloin. When pointed out she somewhat disagreed until we kept saying it was wrong. She left and came back with the right bill she didn't apologize. When we left she didn't say have a great night she just walked off. We also mentioned that we were there for a anniversary on open table but the staff didn't acknowledge this at all. This is like a lower quality keg without the good service, table bread and acknowledgement towards anniversaries with high menu prices for average food quality.

    Biggest complaint - Entered Anniversary as the special occasion into my online order (24th anniversary no doubt) and it was not acknowledged at all. The restaurant - Calamari was a little chewy but batter and the aioli was good. NY strip loin was a little over the requested medium but juicy and good taste. Top sirloin was a little chewy but tasted great and was cooked perfectly. Garlic mash was great. Loaded baked potato was amazing (needed more sour cream). The chocolate dipped Key Lime pie was amazing! Stole the show.

    Been here many times over the last few months. Ordered a prix fix dinner. Server forgot to bring my salad that was included in my dinner selection. She offered to bring it when then entree arrived. We said no thank you, wasnt a big deal. When it came time for dessert, I asked if I could have Key Lime Pie instead of either of the 2 choices offered with the prix fix. Server said it would be ok. She came back a few minutes later and said "the kitchen said no for the dessert switch" Really? We found the kind of petty considering my salad was forgotten and our bill was $170 Just thought I would let you know.

    My husband and I came to celebrate my birthday with our favourite meal, steak frites. As usual, the meat was melt in your mouth good and the fries crispy outside, soft inside. Because it was my birthday, the waitress gave us a free cheesecake. Can anything be better!

    The appetizers were very good. My Cod was perfectly cooked and was delicious. Definitely high quality dishes. However, whenever I make reservations, when we get there to check in, the girls try to talk us into sitting at the bar area. We repeatedly say no & they keep pushing for the bar area. I had to say the dinning area is empty so we want the dinning room table.

    We are long times customers. Our meal is always very consistent in quality. Had the new shrimp appetizer which was good but not as good as the shrimp appetizer you used to have. Your menu seems to have been cut back . Not as many choices. Wine sizes down but same price for an 8 oz now as the 9 oz was. Need to improve the look of your menus. They are looking very worn.

    Steaks can be hit and miss so we both opted for prime rib. Big mistake, mine was so tough and my wife's was tough and fatty. Both had too much grizzle. The mashed potatoes were great. Desert was great. Waiter adjusted the bill thank goodness but he wasn't really that friendly nor did it seem like he wanted to be there.

    We’ve come many times to this location and it was the worse experience ever. Gus was horrible (rude and didn’t care he messed up our order -supposed to be a fullrack and half only gave full rack but charged for the rack and half and when we told him he shrugged us off! ) and ribs were dry and steak was the size of my palm. And my hands are small! Lost loyal customers and my staff. Hospital staff won’t be coming here!

    I remember really enjoying the food at Baton Rouge, but this time I found the menu lacking and the food not that good. The menu was not explained by the server with what was or wasn't included. As such, we were disappointed with our visit.
