Eliza is a hidden gem of Baton Rouge and features exquisite modern cuisine for South Louisiana palates. My experiences there having the fish sandwich and fresh the redfish with risotto make me want to come back and try the whole menu. Chef's kiss.
Gluten free plates were devine. The catfish was cooked to perfection. Shrimp and grits so creamy and clean. All the food is sourced and cooked with finesse. Gluten free plates are prepared and cooked in there own fryer and grill so no cross contamination for celiacs like myself. My 6 year old daughter gobbled up her catfish. Couldnt ask for more. Service was personable and so friendly.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free celiacs friendly

First and foremost, our waitress was excellent. She made it an excellent experience. My mother had the fish sandwich with fries while I had tomato basil soup, the center cut pork chop and the lemon ice box pie. The tomato basil soup was just ok. The pork chop (came with stone ground grits and greens) was delicious. I would have preferred for the greens not to be on top of the grits (wish I would have been asked) and it was swimming in a gravy (which was a little much). The pork chop did taste good. Lemon ice box pie was good as well.

Excellent stop for a nice lunch with a good gumbo and some terrific seafood options. Loved my paneed striped bass. Delicious lemon ice box pie and really good quality coffee topped off a great lunch.

The food here is phenomenal, and I really enjoyed their interpretation of certain Louisiana and dishes. They're gumbo was actually quite lovely, even though I didn't see any feeling or okra. The wait staff was incredibly polite and very attentive without being overbearing. There is a gorgeous, massive picture of what appeared to be a blue egret that was absolutely lovely to admire while he waited on our food. My only real complaint is that despite the relatively small number of guests, it felt like our food did come a little slower than we would have liked. Other than that, absolutely phenomenal restaurant. Great place to take someone for a birthday or mother's Day or something like that especially if you want to do something fancy for them.Vegetarian options: They're a vegetarian options here but it's not exactly what I would say is their highlight.Dietary restrictions: Launch the food is seafood, chicken, and duck, so there is plenty of options for kosher and her own style dishes.Parking: There's a lot of open and easily available parking, especially considering that there are two other restaurants in the same strip mall.Kid-friendliness: I wouldn't say this kid is anti-child, but the vibe and menu is definitely for a more adult palette.Wheelchair accessibility: The tables are a little cramp s. I didn't go to the restroom, so I can't verify how the layout is for wheelchair accessibility, but for the most part it looks like it would be reasonably accommodating.

What a diamond in the rough. Charming, quaint, adorable outdoors patio area, and a crisp, clean, chic interior. I was genuinely surprised by the elevated Louisiana Cuisine presented here. I was impressed with their commitment to support local Louisiana businesses and even shout then out on the menu as their local sources.The waitress was polite and exceedingly knowledgeable about the menu. She also told us about a Mardi Gras themed cocktail available. Though I don't drink, it sounded like something that would be enjoyable to others. She also told us about the soup and dish of the day, both of which sounded phenomenal, but I had already made up my mind.The catfish was actually catfish (which, as you may know some businesses use tilapia or other cheap fish instead). It had one of the best shells I have tried. I had mine with lemon wedges and some stone ground horse radish infused mustard which somehow improved on what I already believed to be perfection.The gumbo only gets 4 stars from me. It was flavorful, and the popcorn rice was a nice addition, but I felt the ratio of rice to gumbo was a bit much and that I didn't really get much chicken or sausage.Parking: Strip mall location with plenty of spots yo park
We went for a date night. Food was ok, needs more seasoning. Gumbo was subpar. Service was very professional.

Eliza was amazing from the moment we walked in the door to the very last bite of food! The place is very cozy, the food amazing, the wait staff outstanding, and drinks delicious! We had a party of 7 and we were very, very impressed with Eliza's! We will be back very, very soon!!
The good is great. Everything from the catfish to the lamb was cooked perfectly. Only downside is they were out of several entrees when we got there at 5:30. Seemed odd for early on a Wednesday night to already be out of certain main entrees

We brought out of town friends to have lunch and they were so impressed with the food and the decor. Everyone loved the drum special and the gumbo. We also split the crawfish over grit cakes which was absolutely delicious. Our server did a wonderful job, too. Eliza is a jewel!

Second time dining here and the second trip was even more disappointing than the first. Food came out cold and was clearly reheated upon return. The manager seemed inexperienced and was rude when handling the issue. Won’t be
