IPO Restaurant - Baton Rouge

For the first time to the jubilee here. the food and the service were great! the place was a kind of loud and we sat practically with the table next to us. we loved the variety of small plates available and will go again.

Cool little spot in the heart of downtown baton rouge. eating was amazing. I thought the service was slow, but my family thought it was good. my man had the duck and the rest of us had the ribeye, so delicious and cooked to perfection. super cool place to dinate, casual, very good mood.

Eating is great. we tried the duck afteros and frits with blue cheese and truffle engraving for our appetizer and had the debris sandwich and patty melt for our entrees. the aromes are complex and everything is well seasoned. the only thing I would change is the beer selection that seems to be missing from some sorts. I live on the road so I'm back in definitiw.

I have been on the stage several times, and while the service was never exemplary, it was always acceptable. Friday evening it wasn't. I want to be clear that I don't think this was our server error. it seemed like he was the only server in the dinning room and ran everywhere. While this happened to someone who is probably a manager of sorts, sat with the two who do nothing. Moreover, since its opening, the ipo has been slowly continuing and further away from a tapas restaurant. I guess that's in order, I'm sure there's a valid reason, i.e. money, for it. on the other side, her performance of her new menu was bad. it is no longer any place where I want to go with a group order many small tellers and lingers over dinner and drinks. it is now just another restaurant, and not a very good one.

While the food is good here, I must say that the service is horrible! I've only been to this restaurant twice but the first time(a year ago) was amazing and that why we decided to return. We had reservations for but got there a little late (around due to traffic. our bad). However, when we got there, we were overlooked by hosts for about After being seated, our server brought us water and took our order for appetizers. We came for the chicken and sweet potato waffle donut. To our surprise they no longer serve that so it took us a while to decide on entrÃes and appetizers especially given the limited menu. While we tried to decide on appetizers (maybe min) my boyfriend requested a Sprite as replacement for his water. No problem said our waiter. We got our appetizers about min later. We were not given any dinnerware to eat off of so we shared from the serving plates. When we received our appetizers we put in our request for our entrees. When we felt a large gust of wind(mind you it's fall now so it's about degrees outside) I look over and realize that the door to the restaurant is wide open! I then begin saying excuse me to every server and host that walks near or by our table in an effort to get the door closed. The restaurant dining area is small(about sqft(I'm from a family of cement finishers. Lee's Concrete(Shameless plug so when I realized that the door was open I started to look around and noticed everyone was putting on their coats and bundling up with their partners in an effort to stay warm. I was able to finally get a hostess' attention and asked her"is there a reason the door is open She responded that someone had told her that they were hot. She apologized and said she'd close the door. After doing so, about min later we felt another gust of wind. They turned the air conditioner on!! Finally, about minutes later from receiving our appetizers, our food came out with Sprite my bf ordered. Good food though.
