Er, and I've heard Ralph's is tasty http://www.ralphsonthepark.com/info.php.
HUGE no to Cobalt (although I ate there when Susan Spicer was still there, and she's moved on). Also, I say no to Crescent City Brewhouse and Acme Oyster Co. |

I second the motion for Mother's, and also add the Camellia Grill for breakfast or late night food. [/ QUOTE ] Camellia is a must for hungover Sunday morning breakfast. I would add NOLA also. |

Re: Top Notch New Orleans restaurants?
Trust me on either of these two these two...
Brigtsen's It's uptown, and the streetcer takes you within 2 blocks. Gabrielle Up Esplanade in Mid city, take a taxi. Both of these chefs trained under Paul Prudhomme and are the best contemporary creole restaurants in the city. Easily better than K-Paul's. Also, and I say this to everyone, an afternoon at Napoleon house, drinking old fashioned drinks that you'd ordinarily never order, is mandatory. The Grill Room in the CBD has a $75 dollar tasting menu (maybe another $60 or so with paired wines) that is top notch indeed. |

He'll sit down at limits as low as 3/6 and move up limit to limit as his name comes up on each list. Also, he's already got one of those cemetery houses (sorry - I forget the name for them) in the big cemetery that all the tours go to. I played poker against him one day during the week, then saw his grave a couple days later when friends came to town and we took the city tour. |
