I was there last month and ate at two places I never eaten before and both were great. K-Pauls and Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse. Of course, most of the other places listed already are great too. I would NOT recommend The Pelican Club. A group of 10 of us ate there in February and collectively I think we had one of the worst meals ever for the money we were charged. There are just too many other fantastic places to eat in N.O. to consider going back to that place.

I try to make a point of going to The Gumbo Shop about every other trip even though it is not as prestigious (or as pricy) as some of the classic places the food is always top notch.
