  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.

  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.

  This is on the ground floor of the newly opened Hotel Indigo. I can't speak for the hotel, since I didn't lodge there, but I did stop in for drinks.
  
  My Elderflower-Pear martini was divine, with St. Germaine, Grey Goose, and a bit of chardonnay. It was just the right amount of sweetness. Our bartender, Steven, was attentive and chatted with us. He even served us two rounds of shots without prompting--I think one of them was an experiment of his, with vanilla vodka. A group of rowdy and already buzzed customers came in after us and he handled them admirably, and was just as courteous with them as he was with everyone else.
  
  I was underdressed (in jeans and sneakers) for this classy establishment, but still felt welcomed and at ease. You've got to try the Elderflower-Pear martini.
