Baton Rouge Restaurant

I really enjoyed the atmosphere at the restaurant. With our big party, it did seem a bit crammed but we were able to manage.
The service was a tad slow. I guess it's because of the large party size. However the food was really good. The ribs were so tasty & practically falling off the bone. The portions for the sides were quite large & filling.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience & recommend you to check it out.

Fabulous experience!
Service was excellent. There was no waiting to be seated or waiting for our food even though the place was getting pretty busy. The waiter was very friendly and offered menu suggestions when we asked for them.
Me and my wife both had the ribs. They were delectable. Meat falling off the bone. I didn't have to use the knife at all. The price was very good at $87 and we were stuffed. I would definitely return.

Pros:
Nice looking restaurant.
Food came promptly.
Grilled calamari was good.
Chicken salad was somewhat palatable.
Cons:
Salmon & mashed potatoes were bland & boring with no presentation.
Potato soup was more like mashed potato with milk and water poured on top.
Waiter could have used a pep talk before his shift started. Thought I needed to check for a pulse at one point.
Don't waste your money; there are plenty of better food locations around this area.

It was my first night in Toronto, and a friend who lives there suggested this restaurant, since it was walking distance to my hotel downtown. You would think with a name like Baton Rouge, it would be a New Orleans-style/Cajun or a French restaurant. Well, it's none of the above. The waitress actually told us their specialty is pork ribs. My coworker who was with us had those and I tried a rib. They were decent to above average.
My friend and I each had the top sirloin steak, which was around $23 (CAD), juicy and flavorful. It was cooked more medium than the requested medium rare but still good. With the steak I received a Caesar salad and baked potato. I was warned by the waitress that their Caesar dressing was more of a vinegarette, which I thought was odd, but it went well with the salad. The baked potato was tasty but kind of small. It's hard to find a restaurant that will give you a large baked potato with your steak, seems like. Our other diner was a child, so she ordered the pasta from the kids menu, which was a pretty big portion (she took 1/2 of it home) and it also came with ice cream.
Two of us had 2 Molson Canadian draft beers each with the meal and the total for the 3 adults and 4 kids came to around $120 (CAD), which wasn't too bad. Our server was nice and attentive. I'm not sure I'd specifically go back to this place when I visit Toronto again, but everything was decent so I wouldn't be opposed to returning.

I was surprised when I walked in that the Eaton Center (a mall) could house such an elegant restaurant. I was very impressed by the service, ambiance and food.
I ordered the prime rib. Beautifully cooked, medium-rare, just the way I like it. I happen to enjoy horseradish sauce, so I asked for an extra side of it. It was brought to me almost immediately with a smile and flourish. You really do get better service in Canada...what a shame.
The inside is so dark and quiet that you hardly remember that you're in the biggest mall in Toronto. The tables are spacious, and you can hardly hear conversation from next-door.
The prices were a little steep, but the food and service was ultimately worth it. I will look forward to going to Eaton Center again if it means I can eat here!

I don't eat here often, but I've had enough good experiences here to give it a glowing review.
The main reason this restaurant gets brownie points is because I went here for my first wedding anniversary, which happens to be on New Years Eve. My husband made reservations about a few weeks in advance and told them it was our anniversary. The staff managed to seat us at a very quiet, intimate little area. Our service was excellent, the food was fresh, and I was so impressed. Our other anniversaries at other restaurants have not measured up. They simply seem too busy to give us good service or good food.
Anyways, the food here is good. Nothing too unique, but my husband is a steak-lover, so he's covered. I have tried steaks, different kinds of chicken and the salmon. Enjoyed everything. The garlic mashed potatoes are great. I've never had room for dessert, but I would love to try them.
I've had nothing but great experiences here.

Another of my Toronto favorites. Great ribs and chicken, nice salads and really good fries. This last time we were there, we met the owner and had a really nice chat. He even bought our round of drinks while we waited for our table. The service has always been good and the only time we've ever had to wait is when we came in without a reservation.

Whenever you hit the Eaton Centre (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...), you've got the choices of places in the many food courts or one of the other restaurants in the mall. Duke of Richmond (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) is good for pub food and Mr. Greenjeans (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) and City Grille (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) are decent enough. That's when Baton Rouge came in. I remember the first time I saw them here, which was the first time I heard of the franchise, so I figured I'd give them a go. Let me say first off that I went in expecting nothing. It's a restaurant in a mall for crying out loud.
The décor is dark wood and darkly lit; a labyrinth of booths and tables that snake their way back to the kitchen along the east side of the mall. The tap list and wine list are decent enough, and give you a sense that this is a higher end place, but the illusion ends there. It's a rib & burger & steak & fish place, pure and simple. The ribs are as tasty as you're going to find outside of the American mid-west or a bona fide barbecue restaurant in the city, the burgers are as decent as any other franchise, and the steaks are grilled as you'd expect from any restaurant serving them.
It's a pleasant experience and a decent option if you don't want to leave the mall. You can find more interesting places further afield outside of the Eaton Centre (is that obvious?), but there is a consequence for convenience.

eh.. this place isn't bad but there's nothing bayou, cajun or louisiana about it.
it's your generic franchise restaurant, decent burgers, steak and beer.
three stars for false advertising

Baton Rouge is disappointing all around. I've been there several times, and each time, I leave shaking my head at how they can mess up standard steakhouse fare so completely. Exhibit A: the charred hamburger. Exhibit B: the wet Caesar salad, with a puddle of watery dressing in the bottom of the bowl and Exhibit C: the over-cooked and jerky-dry chicken. It's a sad thing when the best thing on your plate is a baked potato... a very sad thing. Toronto is no place to mess around with an inferior steakhouse, especially when there are so many better places just around the corner. Keep walking.

I went. I ate. I hated. The food was mediocre at best...not at all Louisiana style food as the name Baton Rouge suggests. The service was not good either...waited forever when there were only a handful of guests to wait on...and my waitress had an attittude! Being a native Texan who visited Louisiana at least 100 times I can tell you I was disheartened that the food was nothing more than bland American fare. And for the quality of service and food this place is slightly overpriced.

Not bad. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Nothing overly exciting but for some reason it's always crowded so I guess some people love it.
