I have traveled to Baton Rouge before but tend to eat at The Kingfish as I almost always stay in the Hilton, this time a few locals mentioned this place. I was dissapointed that I wouldn't be dining where we had originally planned (Ruth's Chris) but my mind was soon changed. I thought that the best part of the evening would be the company, and while they were hard to trump, I was mistaken. Juban's location keeps it a hidden wonder. They had an off-menu Mahi special that night and it was sensational. I will admit that the curry sauce was a bit light and left me wanting more of it's flavor but I don't feel as if that took away from the dish at all. My fiance had started a tab at the bar and I offered to get him another drink when he ran low but I never found a moment where I needed to leave my seat as the service was phenominal. I had many questions for the service staff and my waiter was always polite and promptly returned with an answer for the two questions he was unsure about. The mango sorbet was so fantastic I would have enjoyed a larger dish at the end of my meal had it been on the desert menu. If you're in Baton Rouge I HIGHLY reccommend you try Juban's, even if only once!
