We arrived at 6:30pm with a table of 8, we had called ahead to reserve an inside table. This restaurant has inside seating & outside covered. Outside is where a small band was playing.
Erin was our waitress & got us waters, drinks, & took our appetizer orders. Brussel sprouts, crab cakes, Creole devils on horseback, & smoked brie - all delicious.
We ordered 3 smoked prime ribs, 1 roasted chicken, 1 steak frites, & 3 ordered the Sea Bass nightly special. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the fish that delayed our dinner, but they did serve everything hot and fresh. And offered us 2 free desserts for being understanding. We left around 9pm.

NOTE - be very careful where you park! One in our group was booted & it's an on demand $200 fine to have it removed, delaying our night even more. The no parking sign was small & facing the wrong way! TRAP!

Apparently they don’t want your money if you are here from out of town and by yourself. They said they would not seat 1 person on weekends.

I travel a lot for work and I’m always excited to go to Baton Rouge because of this place. The delicious food and consistent live music are amazing. Love the Brussels! Better than either of those is the service. I’ve never had a bad bar tender and my favorite is Tim who always has great recommendations. 5/5 highly recommended

This place is highly overrated. While I will say that the atmosphere is what sells it, the service and food are subpar and highly invalidate any justification for their price point. Looking at the menu ahead of time, we determined there were options for dietary restrictions. We get there and are seated. Almost 15 minutes before we are addressed by our waiter just to get water and place small plate orders. Left unattended for almost 30 minutes with no refill or main order taken. Once the waiter finally came back, upon placing our order, we were informed of them being out of the items we had checked beforehand. Due to dietary restrictions, there were no other alternatives. We immediately asked for the check to go somewhere else before our time commitment after dinner as we were already running behind due to the excessive inattentive nature of our waiter. Luckily the place we went to after was able to serve us in time so that we were able to make it out in time.

Food: I had heard good things about the food, but let's get down to that disappointment. While one of small plates was decent in flavor, the size was underwhelming for the price. Four shrimp... and small plate comparable to other places that sell this dish except more expensive and half (if not less) in portion size. While it did greatly lack in coconut flavor, the curry was decent. The other small plate was plated to look good but did not taste good. The breading and filler ingredients overpowered what should have been the main star, the crab meat. For me, it was just well plated breading and undercooked filler ingredient. We left without even finishing the dishes and I was disappointed having taken my friend there. I repeatedly had to apologize for making a bad decision to go there as I had heard good reviews and trusted that they would deliver. We were both disappointed with the first impression left from our experience there.

The location is the only reason I could see for the highly inflated reviews. People want to be part of the hype and status that comes with the area, but make no mistake, you're not fooling anyone from a geographical location known for great food. This was simply not great food and the service was just not delivering.

Overall, Bin 77 Bistro & Sidebar was a huge disappointment, especially after having waited to try it for so long. Customers deserve better. It is a bit too late to apologize and express concern after the fact of a bad experience. That's just trying to save face for future customers and income when really this should be addressed prior through proper operational management and kitchen quality assurance in order to help avoid bad experiences.

Good news though, they have other good options around and the night was saved.

Dietary restrictions: Not great for people with dietary restrictions.

Kid-friendliness: Not after a certain time.

I love the live music here and also the service here. It has an elevated environment but casual chic. However, the only thing I don't like is the food. I have been here 4x, and every time, the food leaves much to be desired. The food is not consistent.

Great atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or business meeting. Wide selection of wines and a great happy hour drink menu. The food was fresh and delicious!! Striped bass, baked Brie and gnocchi were all top notch.
