I've got reservations soon for the chef's table at Commander's Palace...what should I expect? Best meal of my life or overhyped sampler platter?

I used to work there in 2010. Saw an old lady damn near have a Meg Ryan type table orgasm when Chef Tory served her some fish. The chef’s table is awesome. Meg, the chef now, was a line cook when I was working in that kitchen.

I've only seen reviews of excellent experiences. I'll be interested in the experience with the new chef at the helm.

I'm not sure it will be the best meal of your life, but it will be way above a sampler platter.

I've been twice and it was awesome!

I have been to it twice. Fun time. Seemingly endless courses of delicious food paired with good wines. Fantastic service because the head chef is your head server (tip well). Atmosphere is lively and hectic rather than elegant and romantic because you are in the kitchen, but I highly recommend it. You get the best of the best of what they are cooking that night.

When did you book? I heard they are sold out for the rest of the year.

Just go in there with no expectations and soak up every moment of it. Don’t even come to this board to set expectations for yourself

Is this your first time at a chefs table? Honestly curious because I feel like that would make a difference.

It was a great experience. Did it for my 40th. But I never did receive my signed copy of the menu as promised

Did it 4-5 times with clients during the 12 years I covered Nola. All when Tory was in the kitchen. Its a phenomenal experience. As suggested get the wine pairing so you don’t have to think even a little bit. Just sit back and consume.

I sat there tasting food and wine for my rehearsal dinner and that was a lot of fun. I can’t imagine the full experience wouldn’t be significantly better.

We did the wine cellar almost 10 years ago. That was a fantastic experience chatting with the chef and captain about their incredible food and wine. It didn’t have the hustle and action of the kitchen though.

It is an awesome experience like another said the desserts are one of each full size and over the top. We tipped Argyle well that night, waiter is with you the entire time explaining everything.

Do the wine pairing and you will not be disappointed at all. We went during Lent and we had an entire seafood menu except for a veal dish that was incredible.
