Service was mediocre as well as the food. They also charge you an extra $3 for a large rock in the Whiskey I ordered. Not bad, but not

Love the building! It's an old bank that's been renovated, but still retains the art deco design and feel, including the original murals. The food was great and we really enjoyed our evening before the convenient, short walk to the Manship Theatre.

Best gumbo! The Founders salad was also excellent. The filet and dirty rice was fantastic. I don't recommend the wagyu though. It was cooked perfectly, but was a little tougher than Wagyu should be. The service was excellent as were the drinks.

The Gregory is beautiful restaurant. Our experience however was less than beautiful. We arrived for 6 pm reservations. We were served drinks timely. Our food order however was not to our table after 45 minutes. We had an event to get to for 8 pm and had to leave without eating. The staff offered to box the food to go but even then it wasn't ready once we paid the bill and exited the restaurant. We were told by management that the excessive wait for food was because of a private party in a room in the hotel. That issue was not our problem. I am sure this party was a planned scheduled event and not a in unexpected pop up since the private room had to be reserved for parties. No excuse for your dining customers. This was poor and I feel diners should know this can happen. So when dining there ask if there is a private party going on and plan accordingly.
Based on pictures, the restaurant has a more formal aesthetic. In reality, it's pretty casual & is in the hotel lobby. Because it's in the lobby, how loud it is depends on how many people are in the lobby. If you get a steak, the steak sides are not shareable portions. The drinks were good!

Great food and absolutely excellent service. Highly recommend the boudin and duck tenderloins.Dietary restrictions: They were excellent in providing detailed help to avoid a shellfish allergy.

Happy hour is the best time to visit The Gregory: drinks are reasonable, food is pretty good. Like everyone has been saying, the burger is actually amazing! Definitely stop by when you get a chance

Amazing food and service! Would definitely come back again. I just wish bar patrons would understand that while it's a hotel lobby, it's still a restaurant. No need to constantly yell and hover over tables to talk to friends at the bar. Noise level was a little overwhelming when trying to have an nice dinner.

Just a little bit of a wait for us to get service (the reason for my 4 stars on that), but overall, it was my first time there, and I really liked the atmosphere and bottomless mimosas (full bottle). I will be returning.

Watched the chef while he cooked my food, barehanded, pick at his ear, beard, and hair while preparing my food. Not what I would expect from a higher end restaurant.

The Gregory Restaurant, part of the Watermark Hotel in downtown Baton Rouge has on the best happy hours in the city. It goes till 7 pm, Mon-Fri and has discounts on all drinks, from beer to wine to mixed drinks. It also has a short happy hour menu, but you can also order of the regular menu. too. This past Thursday I was there and had the white bean hummus dip, which, is one of the best I’ve ever had, delicious!

I brought my sister and her husband to the Gregory for her birthday brunch. The food was absolutely delicious, and the wait staff was very friendly and helpful. The interior of the hotel, restaurant and even the bathrooms were beautiful and very clean. I made a very good choice in the Gregory for a nice birthday event for my sister.

Fantastic menu prepared by Chef Pat! Also a cool atmosphere built in the old bank. Everything we had was delicious including the shrimp dip, crab cake, duck breast and short rib that was on special the night we went!
