Borgne* (#204, 2/26/2012)
Located in the Hyatt, it’s a pretty good John Besh restaurant. It is more casual than I expected, but rather pricey at the same time. Solid food and we had a good knowledgeable waiter – though he was right on … Continue reading
Coquette (#203, 2/24/2012)
Had an enjoyable Friday afternoon happy hour at Coquette. A nice range of drink mixers, including jalapeno-infused tequila and bacon-infused bourbon plus very friendly bartenders, so a good time. I went for a good sampling of food at the bar … Continue reading
Dijon* (#202, 2/14/2012)
I would say this place served me the best piece of chicken that I have ever had. Outstanding! Unfortunately, the oyster appetizer wasn’t very good and neither was the crab en phyllo. Just not a lot of taste. Some sort … Continue reading
Mahony’s (#201, 2/11/2012)
I was planning to add some new little places during Mardi Gras, but this was the only new addition. Mahony’s is often called the best po-boys in New Orleans. Hard to say, I’m not a huge po-boy fan, don’t like … Continue reading
Irene’s (#200, 2/3/2012)
While I complained about the long wait even with reservations, I should have done better research. Apparently, it’s common to wait forever here, so my own fault for not being prepared. Not to mention, I should be better at being … Continue reading
Mondo* (#199, 1/27/2012)
Ventured to Lakeview for to drop in on Mondo and chef Susan Spicer, one of the newer “celebrity chefs” of New Orleans. It was…ok. Not sold on it. Again, decent place if you’re in the area, but maybe not worth … Continue reading
Manning’s (#198, 1/19/2012)
Manning’s marked the first time I went to a grand opening and, as expected, some things were a bit slow as they are working out the kinks, but overall a good place. It is as-advertised, an upscale sports bar; the … Continue reading
Riccobono’s Panola St. Café (#197, 1/15/2012)
After one visit, I had a new favorite breakfast stop, but it’s faded a bit, still good, but I still like to try out different places. It isn’t anything fancy, but for breakfast, I’m usually not looking for much – … Continue reading
Le Meritage* (#196, 1/13/2012)
Another okay stop – worth checking out if you’re in the area (located in the Maison Dupuy hotel), but probably not worth a special trip. It’s not a real restaurant with full plates of food, but the bread and a … Continue reading
Down the Hatch (#195, 12/4/2011) – 63
Down the Hatch is a little bar and grill just off Coliseum Square on Camp Street. I like it – though it took me almost two years to make a return trip. First time in, I was struck by the … Continue reading
