Ruffino's
Price: Very Expensive•Steak•4.8(2,448)Ruffino's -Steak-Seafood-Italian restaurant is an experience in food and atmosphere like no others. From the time you walk in and see the wood-burning stove aflame to the beautiful smiles on every Ruffino's team member's face, you will have goosebumps on the back of your neck for the dining journey that awaits you. From our wonderful signature Crabmeat Cheesecake appetizer to our mind blowing Cedar Plank-baked Catch or our mouth watering Prime cut steaks, the menu is diverse for everyone. The relaxed but swinging music along with perfect lighting and energy make this the ultimate restaurant in Louisiana. It's where Louisiana Comes to Celebrate Life!Rouj Creole
Price: Expensive•Creole / Cajun / Southern•4.5(501)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.
The Colonel's Club

Our menu showcases Southern and American favorites with a worldly twist, paired with timeless cocktails. The atmosphere is swanky not stuffy—nostalgic yet modern, with thoughtfully designed spaces that invite you to linger. We offer a variety of small plates, fresh salads, and creative sandwiches, alongside a selection of pasta, fish, and meat entrees. Finish your meal with a decadent dessert, complemented by a premium espresso. Start or end your night in our lounge, where you can enjoy handcrafted cocktails and extensive wine offerings. Relax by the fire with live piano music. Dress up or come as you are—the only requirement is that you have a great time! Located in the heart of the vibrant Overpass Merchants District, The Colonel’s Club is just minutes from LSU and downtown Baton Rouge. A world away, right down the street.Brasserie Byronz
