Vichy

Vichy’s is an international all you can eat buffet. They have a variety of different things to choose from. Most of the times that I been here was for birthday Parties. If you like a restaurant that can accommodate a lot of people then this is place you. Like other all you can eat buffets there is no waiting on food as soon as your seated you can go get your food right away. The staff is friendly the waiter I had was very sociable and outgoing. The food on the other hand was the down fall of this restaurant. I find the food pretty plain, there is nothing good about it, the price is pretty cheap though.
　
From the outside view there’s a big green sign that says Vichy in cursive writing that lights up. It’s actually pretty appealing and catchy. As you walk in now, rows of food are right in front of you and you can’t help but stare. The walls, tables and chair’s are mahogany. To differentiate the sections their are large glassless windows with blue frames. The décor of is pretty simple nothing fancy. It would be best to dress casual when you come here. The atmosphere is bit noisy because there is usually a lot of families that eat here. The staff is friendly or at least my waiter was, she was very sociable and had a positive attitude which made the dinning experience not as bad.

The food is…well not the best. I’ve been here quiet a few times and I must say I never really enjoyed the food. Their pork souvlaki looks tasty but the meat is actually dry. I always have to pull and rip the meat off and then force myself to swallow the dry block of meat ad feels like a rock shoving it’s way down to my esophagus. Another thing is that that food never seems fresh. It always tastes like it’s been sitting there for hours. The main reason for getting more food is because I wasn’t satisfied with what was in my plate. They serve a bit of everything that’s the good part so you have a lot of other choices but if you’re looking for an extravagant meal then this isn’t the place for you. This is more of a place for kids who are picky eaters and rather enjoy quantity over quality.

Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge is a fancy steak house known for ribs. Now usually this was one of my main restaurants go to because not only is the food good (delicious ribs!) but they served alot of food so much that i'd usually end up bringing some back home. Of course that came with a price though which is pretty much the reason why i'm not so eager to rush back there. The atmosphere is a bit noisy but that wasn't too much a problem for me. The service is not bad but it could've been better.

When i first walked in i didn't know what to expect, i've always heard about this restaurant and heard that it 's expensive, so i never actually thought to go. From the looks of it and the way other people interpret it i thought i had to come dressed in fancy attire. So that's exactly what i did. When i arrived there it was quiet busy took me about a good 3 minutes before i actually got seated. There is a wide variety of dishes to choose from  you can choose from dinner our lunch menu, they pretty much have the same thing. Each dish comes with a side option of garlic mashed potato, baked potato, french fries, hot cinnamon apples and coleslaw. After choosing my plate i waited about 15 minutes before my plate arrived. When it finally did come i couldn't help but notice how big my plate was. The plate was oval shaped and long, most of it was covered with skinny cut fries and and on the side lay a nice long juicy looking portion of bbq ribs hmmm :)and in small corner help a tiny bowl of hot apple cinnamon. The ribs tasted delicious, the meat was tender and when i bit into it the meat gladly slid of the bone, no ripping or pulling. The bbq sauce was good too  it was unlike the other kinds that i've tasted were the taste is so strong that after a while i don't want anymore. The fries where nothing special it felt like they were just there to be there. They were satisfying with the ribs. The hot apple cinnamon as good as it sounds wasn't really all that good in fact i couldn't even finish it. Basically it was sliced apples warmed up and sprinkled with cinnamon you can make it at home.

The inside decor is beautiful and cozy. The walls are made of red brick, and everywhere else mahogany/burgundy coloured. The booths were especially cozy and most of all private. What i loved the most were the yellow lamps everywhere some where hung on the walls and some were set on tables. Very stylish it sort of gave off a low light effect. The inside of the bathroom was just as pretty the doors of the stalls were a rich mahogany wood designed to look like thick curtains with silver doorknobs. The walls were tiled a dark blue and the sink was made of beige coloured marble. Each sink was made of stainless steel and had a mirror above it. Honestly it was one of the prettiest bathrooms i've ever been too.

The service was not bad very mediocre the waiter was nice did his job well meaning that i like a waiter that's patient and  knows the menu inside out because i like to ask alot of questions. The food didn't take long to come as i mentioned earlier it took about 15 minutes. The only thing that could've been better was that the waitor took kind of long to bring back the bill, rather than that it was okay.
