suggestions on what to order?

This will probably be my best meal in quite some time.

Also bringing in a bottle of wine bought from Napa last year. No corkage fee

I had the Chilean sea bass there one time and it is still the best piece of fish I have ever eaten anywhere. It was a special that night, so not sure if it will be on the menu.

1 of everything. That entire menu is ridiculous.


When the wife and I went (couple years ago) we got the chefs tasting menu. I think it was 7 courses paired with wine. It was damn expensive, but the meal was fricking insane. Every. Single. Thing. You put in your mouth is crazy good.

Single best food experience either of us has ever had.







EVER.

We had the foie gras three ways, the crab gnocchi with truffle, Mrs. Fury got a steak, and I had a duck with something stuffed with marrow...I think. Been a couple years since we went there. It was probably one of the top two meals I've ever had...food, presentation, service, atmosphere...all fantastic. You should love it, incredible restaurant.

Best restaurant in New Orleans. The only not great dish I had was a fillet of grouper in a foam sauce. Everything else has been excellent. Enjoy the meal.

We had our rehearsal dinner there. Had several passed appetizers then the meal was a duck gumbo,
crab gnocchi with truffle, chilean sea bass, dessert was the banana rum cake w/ creole cream cheese

if you don't want to wear a coat and tie, at least wear a button up shirt and slacks.
