Restaurant review: Sullivan’s Steakhouse

When general manager Leo Verde returned to his post at Sullivan’s Steakhouse nearly two years ago, after a stint running revered Dallas beef bazaar Del Frisco’s, the gregarious Venezuelan and former UNO soccer player brought back to the Red Stick the old-world hospitality and service he’d cultivated through years of working at Commander’s Palace, Emeril’s and longstanding French Quarter eateries. As Louisiana’s film industry has burgeoned and Baton Rouge has become a town for celeb-spotting, movie stars such as Anna Paquin, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and more have been seen at the Baton Rouge location of the upscale restaurant and martini bar. With 20 locations nationwide, Sullivan’s offers a variety of steakhouse staples and some seafood dishes with a Louisiana and Asian flair: from oysters, filets, lamb chops and lobster to salads and sautéed scallops.
