About the restaurant

Bistro Byronz was born from the simple definition of a true bistro: an unpretentious neighborhood restaurant where friends and families gather day and night to relax, share conversation and enjoy good food and drink at reasonable prices. From that day on, we have prided ourselves in serving deliciously simple, bistro-inspired dishes done the Southern way — comfortable yet special, casual yet elegant, and a bit curious and undefined.

A Southern version of the quaint cafes in Paris, with the sophistication and casual flare of New York City bistros, incorporating the flavors, culture and lagniappe of Louisiana was to us the perfect and distinct approach.

As good as always and it literally is always an "experience." Take your time and enjoy. The bread is incredible and I always get the brucciluna. It's a bit pricey but worth it. Great red sauce.

Service was GREAT! We ordered caesar salad and seafood pasta. The caesar salad was deliciious, but the seafood pasta was not. The pasta was overcooked and swimming in some sort of butter sauce....NOT GOOD. We did not complain, ate a small amount and left. We would go back and maybe just share a pizza. Love the convenience of having the restaurant in the hotel .

The Gregory at The Watermark Hotel is Baton Rouge, Louisiana's premier destination for modern food & wine. Located off the lobby of the hotel, in the former Bank of Louisiana, our restaurant is centered between an open kitchen and a full bar surrounded by murals painted by the artist of who the restaurant is named, Angela Gregory. Chefs Patrick Trahan, Brock Nichols, and Jonathan White design menus that utilize fresh and local produce and available organic proteins that offer twists on Southern classics in a modern farm-to-table menu. As a Louisiana native, Patrick influences Southern cooking styles by employing our wood-stone oven, Spanish Josper oven, and cast-iron grill to elevate flavors and create one-of-a-kind dishes in the downtown Baton Rouge area.

About the restaurant

The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

I want to start by saying that the food and service was good. The atmosphere was excellent although the music was a tad loud. I feel like calling the experience "fine dining" is a stretch though. The table setting wasn't properly spaced or set for fine dining. The waiter was friendly and had a great personality but talked too much and too fast. The uniforms for wait staff and hostess were also a little sloppy for an experience billed as fine dining. The appetizer had good flavor, but by the time it reached our table, it was cold and the pastry crust was soggy on the bottom. The soup course arrived at the table cold and completely lacked flavor. A little shake of salt helped a bit, but not enough to redeem the dish. The four remaining courses were all on point with excellent flavor, temperature, and presentation. Overall, it was a good meal and with a little tweaking could be a true fine dining experience.

We love Charley G's! Food is always consistently excellent. Husband and I had crab cakes and a cup of turtle soup. He also had the house salad which he said was the best salad he's ever had at a restaurant. We also shared the Cajun smashed potatoes which were delicious. One son had a house salad and a bowl of gumbo. He said the gumbo was delicious but there wasn't enough of it. The other son had the fish special -- sheepshead filet with a crawfish creme sauce with lump crab and 3 fried oysters on top of mashed potatoes. He said it was "out of this world." Charley G's is a great "special occasion" restaurant and the perfect place to take out-of-town guests.
