Say hello to Tallulah. That is the name Facebook fans have given the upscale eatery inside the new Renaissance Baton Rouge Hotel, officials announced today. Renaissance Baton Rouge solicited more than 200 potential names through its Facebook page and whittled the field down to five finalists, among which fans then cast votes for the winner. The five finalists were Tallulah, Parishes, Iko, Remy’s and Piquant. Lydie Melsheimer Neumann of Baton Rouge, who submitted the name Tallulah, will receive a weekend stay at the Renaissance Baton Rouge, as well as a multicourse private dinner for two and a $50 bar tab. The town of Tallulah, home to Neumann’s extended family, is the seat of Madison Parish in northeast Louisiana. The Tallulah restaurant will offer a selection of dishes inspired by classic Louisiana and regional cooking. It will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and feature a wine bar. The Renaissance Baton Rouge is set to open in late September or early October.
