King Bar & Bistro

The food and service were disappointing.  We decided to eat there since we were staying at the hotel and the reviews that were posted before were positive.  The food was mediocre and overpriced for what we got.  I do not recommend the BBQ shrimp.  It was terrible. The filet came burnt on the outside. The seasoned nuts were very good, but the other appetizers were just OK.  The cheese selection is disappointing.  The salads were great..  Te panini was just so so.  Also the hotel guests are constantly walking through the restaurant to go out a side door  Good for people watching maybe, but does not make for great dining experience.  The dinner the was the low point of our trip to Baton Rouge.

Most amazing mixed drinks by Ken: Singapore Sling, Old Fashioned, Mint Julep, Mojito. Absolutely incredible! Complex flavors.P

I had the Strawberry Salad and split serving of the Seafood Gumbo. (I had to ask since they do not have a cup listed and they said no problem.)  Very nice presentatioe, service and the atmosphere is crisp and bright.  New Hotel and the bar is rounded marble comfortable to eat at.
