Will be staying around the quarter for 8 nights. First time back (other than a quick visit for the NC games) in about 13 years. The wife and I are looking for resturants that are nice but not $$. Anything around $125-175 for two. I like wines and her Cokes. Seafood(shrimp or crab not big fish eaters)and Steaks are on top of our list. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

go to chowhound.com and go to the New Orleans board. The people there live for these questions.

Thanks. Checked out the website. Steaks are carefully selected and aged for tenderness; seared to perfection at 1800° in our Montague broiler. What is a Montague broler?

I've had good steak at Shula's on Canal and also at Dickie Brennan's on Iberville.

Also, good place to have some lunch is Coop's Place on Decatur and for a good burger go to Port of Call on Esplanade.

For steaks, you have to try La Bocca. This is a south American styled steak place with great value priced wine. Excellent odd cuts of meat.
Second for steaks is Dickie Brennas.

For seafood, you should try Rio Mar. Same owner as La Bocca.
Second would be GW Fins. He brings in stuff that other places in the city will not put in the effort to source.

Pelican Club is a good value restaurant.

Def. do brunch at Commanders on one of the Sundays.

Correct. I would tell them to try La Boca, Dickie Brennan's, Crescent City, and Ruth's at Harrah's. That is a lot of red meat and some serious cash, but they are all great steak places.

Have not had the bone in ribeye, but I have tried hanger, skirt, and flank steaks there. They have a great way of seasoning and cooking these "odd" cuts of meat that make them quite tender.

The owner is awesome and is usually around the corner cooking at Rio Mar, his spanish styled seafood places.

don't have to be a big boy to eat a big arse steak... I'm not fat and ate a 34 oz. steak in Italy before. I didn't order anything else though. Just wine and steak. Best steak I ever had.

Since others have mentioned steaks, I'll add some others to the list.


Cochon - great food. Mostly pork, some seafood.

Jacques-imo's - fun atmosphere, good food.

Rum House - good food (fried plantains are delisc) - Good drinks

All I mentioned are sub 100.00 for 2

Now you have my attention. Properly prepared pork is hard to beat. Will jump on their web site to get directions and more information. Thanks.
