re: Restaurant r'evolution?

Took the wife a while back and had an exceptional experience. She had a steak that she really enjoyed, I tried to talk her our of a steak but had no luck. We started with the charcuterie board that blew us away. Hogshead cheese was some of the best I've had. Had the Death by Gumbo after that, it was the highlight of my meal. There may be some haters in this thread but do not leave without getting it. Boudin stuffed quail in a bowl that the server will pour the most flavorful, rich, and velvety gumbo base over the top of. Pretty sure I licked the bowl. There is some serious culinary skill to make that dish. I had the Coq au Vin as my entrée. Also delicious. I knew one of the chefs there and told me to request a tour of the place so we got to walk through the entire restaurant front and back. Our server actually was our tour guide and knew I was in the restaurant business. I got to go into their coolers and walk the line. I would have eaten my dinner on their floors it was so clean. Even got to hold a $30,000 bottle of Ch. Rothschild in the wine cellar. I was feeling pretty special until I was later told that they will do that for most people if you ask. I would recommend asking.

Enjoy the experience. Please report back.
