Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro

"This is the worst restaurant on the face of the earth. I keep trying to give them a chance, but they disappoint every time. Something is always wrong with my order, and I've had enough. I'm literally sitting at my desk about to cry because I have a dry salad with raw ingredients that I cannot eat. I ordered the Shrimp, Crab & Avocado Salad through Major Menus. The shrimp was raw, the avocados were not fresh, and they did not give me any dressing. This salad was too expensive for such a huge mistake. I called the restaurant to try to get it resolved through them first before contacting Major Menus, but no one answered the phone call. This is unacceptable."

"Service was great from server, however, the Front of House Manager Ava was extremely rude and condescending when an order came out incorrect twice. We informed the waitress of a mushroom allergy and the pasta arrived with mushrooms. The order was supposedly corrected and when it arrived there were no peppers and no Alfredo. Ava kept stating we cannot take the order back and that we’d be charge anyway due to modifications although order was incorrect. She went on to state that she would send a to-go box out with peppers and Alfredo with her condescending attitude although we declined and stated we wouldn’t be taking the meal several times."

"Amazing cheesecake, for some ridiculous reason I associated The Cheesecake Factory and Cheesecake bistro in Baton Rouge as one in the same, definitely not the case. The flavor in the desserts and all the food here is phenomenal unlike it’s competitors, if you want desserts, food, or apparently even drinks elevated beyond the typical restaurant this is the place. We’ve tried a lot they have to offer now, and it gets better with each visit. Ask for Caleb or Jonathan when you go and tell them Caleb D. sent you, their incredible. Super detail oriented, both go above and beyond to provide you with incredible service and make you feel at home. While it’s rare to find people that care enough about their customers to ensure that every part of their visit is an exceptional one from start to finish, its apparently not a lost art of the trade. While waiting for our food throughout multiple visits we’ve noticed that they both took the same level of care with all of their customers they serve, a sense of inclusion is felt throughout all of the guest we observed that they were responsible for throughout several visits, they were eager to talk to them about each and every dish they would bring from the kitchen which in my opinion is a genius way to covertly advertise the dish’s the restaurant has to offer, I run into very few servers that accomplish this without even trying so it’s worth noting. Communication is over preached and under practiced so often in todays culture as the key to success in everything you do, these servers have mastered it. I’ve read the bad reviews that have been left here and honestly I don’t get it, maybe I had a completely different experience the past several times we’ve been. I’ve met the manager, (one of the nicer gentlemen in life that I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting) spoken with the majority of the hostess, Hannah, what up! I’ve looked for servers that were not up to par, (they all seemed great), I looked for unhappy guest, (none to be found) I looked for dishes coming out the kitchen that looked bad, (ALL LOOKED AMAZING!). We’ve tried about 85% of the desserts, their all slamming, the strawberry ice cream waffles are insanely good, the cheesecakes are all crazy good.I’ve tried many different variations of the combinations of cheesecakes they have to offer at other places, this is the top 1% for sure. Cheesecake Factory doesn’t even come close. On the turtle cheesecake they lace it with chunks of praline. The chefs creation cheesecake combos are the apex of cheesecakes. I swore we’d be back in my first review, we’ve been back many times since, and all I can say is we haven’t conquered the entire menu yet so we’re still going back for more and will continue to go back even after completing it. Normally you peak out after the first visit to a restaurant then it kinda just stays the same, it’s gotten even better the deeper we explore their menu here at the cheesecake bistro. So what I’ve learned through my visits; this is an important one so pay attention, if your a coffee person or just somewhat like it, pair a coffee with a dessert, you’ll thank me later. What I’ve learned is that here at the Cheesecake Bistro in Baton Rouge the apps are never just regular apps, the entrees are never just entrees and the desserts are far beyond what you could possibly imagine. Whether it be the bayou broccoli that is so much more than the name gives lead to the imagination, or the blackened chicken Alfredo pizza pasta bowl that quite literally is a pizza at the base with chicken pasta as the topping, or the vast labyrinth of desserts that have to throw at you that are somehow all unique. What I’m saying is, you never quite know what to expect when ordering but you can always expect to be surprised in the best of ways. This restaurant is a pleasant surprise in a world full of restaurants that only seek to make food just good enough to take your money, it’s refreshing to find a place that simply wants to give you the best experience and food they possibly can. Thank you Copeland’s for all you do."

"The atmosphere was fantastic. There was a great ambiance to it. The lighting was nice. The decorations were classy. The food was good and came quickly. This place would be perfect for a romantic date."

"This is a BR staple! Tried and true! The food is always consistently good. And the cheesecakes are all delicious too! I've tried every cheesecake flavor they have and they all are really good! The spicy herb fried chicken is my go to when I eat here. It's not spicy at all, but very well seasoned and you literally get 4 pieces of chicken (half a chicken) in your order. I always have leftovers because the portions are large. Also the Mac and cheese is one of the best restaurant Mac and cheese recipes I've had in a while. The drinks are nice and strong and reasonably priced, especially during happy hour. Service was great as well and our server never missed a beat. This was a good experience overall!"
