On March 15th my partner and I dined at Maison Lacour for the first time. Someone had told us about this little Baton Rouge gem. So we decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary here and made a reservation. When we walked up the plank to the front door there were 3 women ahead of us waiting for the hostess who was holding the door open and greeting them as they journeyed forward. As she did so she made eye contact with us but then let the door close as we quickly stepped inside, as she did not continue to hold the door for us. No words were spoken by her to us. We just kind of awkwardly stood there waiting to be seated. She returned, smiled and said "follow me". No "Welcome to Maison Lacour" or anything. However our chairs were pulled out for us. While we have traveled the world and visit five star restaurants with frequency, I will say the food was exquisite but the services lacked that personal touch one expects at a restaurant of this status. While our young server was pleasant, our empty plates sat in front of us far too long and our table was never brushed. After we paid the bill which included the healthy tip, the server did not return to our table. We could hear jubilant conversation going on in the kitchen behind us. We kept waiting for someone to come out and say "goodnight, thank you, see you again, etc" any words of appreciation, but none were offered and as we were the last patrons of the evening we finally simply got up and walked ourselves out. Service is utmost in a fine dining experience and we did not feel welcome or served. We will be back because everyone deserves a second chance, and the food and the presentation were superb! One other suggestion: the music should be French for a pure authentic atmosphere; there was some variation of soft rock in the back ground.

The salad was simple an great. The wine that was recommended was good as well. Things diminished from there. My steak was overcooked. In fact, I only ate about a quarter of it. I was still charged full price. The couple seated next to us had overcooked lamb chops as well. Maybe the chef was having a bad night. We were planning to go back for seafood in the near future, but now, I think we will try seafood elsewhere. At those prices, I want to at least feel like finishing my meal, and if the meal is not right, at least be offered a discount and acknowledgment of the mistake.

This is an outstanding classic French restaurant. They have the best steaks in Baton Rouge bar none. White tablecloths, high quality food at an extremely reasonable price. With expertly crafted 4 course specials, lunchtime is perfect for a quick escape from the monotony of other sit down restaurants. Dinner time is perfect for a romantic date. Absolutely best hidden gem restaurant in Baton Rouge.

Arguably the finest restaurant in the greater Baton Rouge area! The food is always fresh and well prepared. The service is always very fine and the ambience is far more cozy than large restaurants in commercial buildings. For birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions, Maison Lacour is always our first choice despite having many other fine restaurants in our area.

Whenever I go to Boucherie in NO, I always say to myself this is NOs Maison Lacour French Restaurant. Maison Lacour French Restaurant is that damn good. The servers are attentive and the waiting time is short. I would recommend Maisons Early Diners Special (30 dollars for a four course meal). I have a feeling Lisa J. will give this restaurant at least a four star rating.

The atmosphere is great & very authentic. The food is some of the best in Baton Rouge, but is pretty pricey.
