Finally done with school (<----proof that miracles do happen) and was asked to make reservations for the family for lunch after commencement. Looking for somewhere nice but am hamstrung by the fact that it will be for lunch and not dinner (when more establishments are open). Based upon the advice of some friends and a little research, it's looking like Mansur's or Juban's might be my best options. Does anyone else have some appealing options for the eight of us?

ETA: And Galatoire's and French Market Bistro

Hmm, lunch does make it a little difficult. Congrats on graduating. I am in the same boat as you, but we made reservations awhile ago. We are going to Houmas house. Its incredible there. I don't know about the food, but just the plantation alone makes for a good experience. It is a bit of a drive, but worth it. If they are open for lunch I would recommend it.
Robertos may be a good place too. I don't think they take reservations though, and not sure about lunch.

Congratulations to you as well! I get my degree at the main commencement so unless I want my family to stick around in my apartment for 6 hours until dinner ("not gonna do it" in my best GHW voice)I have to find somewhere to go for lunch. Think we're going to do Galatoire's but I do like the Houmas House suggestion.
