Going to either Commanders, Gautreau's, August, or Mr. B's. Which is best?

First time going to any of these.

Which is the best overall experience from food to service?

I'd pick Gautreau's, but for no particular reason.

1 / August
2 / Commander's
3 / Mr B's

*haven't been to Gautreau's but from reputation + word of mouth I'd say it would be my #2 had I been

There are all a bit different and while I enjoy Mr. B's, it's not in the same category as the other 3, in my opinion.

I've noticed Commander's has been doing really good stuff lately. I'd go there or Gautreau's and if you've never been to Gautreau's, I might give it the edge.

August, especially if you are doing the tasting menu.

Gautreau's is spectacular. The atmosphere is definitely more old school imo, which is not my thing, but the food is simply next level.

Commander's is cool for the experience, although I don't find the food to be quite on the level of those other two.

Mr. B's is pretty far behind the other 3.

Hard to quantify. What are you looking for? For instance, I've been to Commander's and August and enjoyed both. That being said, August did not really give me a "New Orleans" feel. By that I mean that type of restaurant would seem to fit in any major metropolitan area. You could not have a Commander's in NYC, for instance.

This is simple.

1 doesn't belong on this list (Mr. B's)
2 bring 1/2 food & service (Gautreau's & Commanders)
1 brings both (August) ***

My personal favorite is Commanders; I've been going there for 25 years and the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I'd rank em like this:

1- Commanders
2- Gautreau's
3- August
4- Mr.B's
