I've never had anything bad there. It's a very traditional New Orleans restaurant. I like the seafood, pasta, duck or lamb.. Enjoy.

Incredibly dated food that isnt very well prepared. Adult beverage advice would be to drink a lot of it.

Dude, that's one of Fitzmorris' favorites! Right up there with Antoine's in his recommendations.

Last time I went, they were really off. The previous two times, it was great.

I have been there many times and have always loved it. Everything is good: lamb chops, duck, seafood cioppino . The greatest bargains in town are their special menus such as the summer menu and the Christmas Reveillon menu. Great bar. Their piano player is a Loyola music professor. Can't go wrong there.

Been several times, and the food has always been spot on. The last time we went was last summer and the service was off, but the food was still great. I don't think they are trying to blow your mind with new and innovative food ideas, but everything they do is solid IMHO.

Well, it was a winner! Had the 4 course special, Corn/ Crab Bisque, baked Oysters, Filet w Veg and Mash Pot, Bourbon Vanillas Crème Brule, couple of Sazaracs to go with the meal...will post pics later.

How can food be dated? Aren't some items timeless?

A trip to Antoine's is an object lesson in how food can become dated. Times change, tastes change. Americans enjoy a wider range of flavors than 20 or 40 years ago. They certainly appreciate higher quality produce these days; remember when canned asparagus and canned peas were acceptable in semi-fine dining? (Okay, you might not, but I do.)

What turned the tide? I recall the 90's. Not so much the 80's. To me food isn't that different than 15-20 years ago.

In the past 20 years, huge media attention has focused on food. The Food Network is just 23 years old, and it didn't really take off nationwide until the late 90s. So the average American with cable has much more exposure to food/cooking/culinary ideas/chefs as personalities these days. Add on the whole internet food realm (from messageboards like this to blogs to restaurant & magazine websites) and you can begin to understand that the average consumer has LOTS more food-related info at his/her fingertips.
Food trends & fashion in the US used to emanate from Euro-centric restaurants, chefs, and major urban areas. Today, a chef like David Chang (who grew up in the DC area in an immigrant Korean family) can become fixated on noodles and create an entire culinary empire on made from scratch ramen. (What food commands less respect in the US than ramen?)
I can tell you it takes way more artistry than a filet (worlds most boring cut) and mashed potatoes to make me find a french quarter parking space.
