Baton Rouge Restaurant @ Scarborough

On an OK special evening after work, had a filling and fattening dinner at Baton Rouge Restaurant near Scarborough Town Centre.  As I remembered, I only been to Baton Rouge once during a work lunch in downtown.  I don't remember what I had so I assumed it was just an average big chain restaurant around the city. As expected, it was pretty quiet on a Tuesday evening.

For appetizer, we ordered Cheese Lover's favourite "Nachos + Cheese", Cheddar Dip.  The dip was a warm blend of cheeses topped with diced tomatoes and jalapeno peppers. It was the best dish of our night.

To balance out 'not-so-healthy' appetizer, we ordered a salad and Mr.Cheese Lover chose the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad since I was telling him about that I wanted to try tuna served rare with a cool interior.  On the greeny dish, there was a 6 oz. tuna seared and topped with diced tomatoes and chives along with mixed greens topped with toasted sesame seeds drizzled with Lime & Ginger dressing.  The salad part was average but I like the tuna. :D

We also order their Prime Rib Sandwich served with an 8 oz.  tender sliced prime rib smothered with grilled red onions and melted Monterey Jack cheese. It came with a toasted baguette with a side of au jus, and french fries.  I was quite disappointed because I was expecting Canyon Creek's Prime Rib sandwich but it was nothing close to it.

'To.live.my.life' rates Baton Rouge a 6.5/10 because of its average dishes served. Nothing amazed me from what we ordered that evening.  However, if searching for a nice, warm and casual dinner, there's nothing against going to  Baton Rouge since after all it is one of the chain restaurants with standard quality.
