My next new restaurant visit will be between Clancys, La Boca, and Sylvain. Since we have similar tastes (and I think we met at Ave Pub LA craft beer week? Anyhow) which should it be?

I think I remember that.

Those 3 are all fine choices and serve different purposes. I am not a card carrying member of the Clancy's fanboy club. It's very good, but they cater to their regulars and the menu is somewhat antiquated.

I view LaBoca and Sylvain in similar light except La Boca is steakhouse. They both have great/fun atmosphere that anyone would enjoy. The difference is purely cuisine and I don't eat at steakhouses as often so my choice would be Sylvain.

The difference between Clancy's and some of the other "old" new Orleans standards is that its still very good. Antiquated is part of the charm.

I'd have no problem sending you to la boca, but its not somewhere I'd send someone from out of town looking for a nola experience.

for me,
sweetbreads at Clancy's. Hint they have lunch.
go to Jefferson seafood and pick up 5 lbs of crawfish with potatoes and sausage and eat it at the park with a beer.
Get raw oysters somewhere, I like Luke happy hour.
You need to get gumbo somewhere, maybe the gumbo shop or mr. b's.
and a poboy from Guy's.
