Looking for a good anniversary dinner in NOLA

I'm intrigued about Antoine's, Arnaud's, and Galatoires just from lists that I've seen. How are these 3 places and what is the dress code at each. I'm trying to do nice jeans and polo. I would prefer not to grab the sportscoat from the back of the closet...TIA

Yeah, wouldn't want to dress up for your wife on your anniversary.

Galatoires requires a coat at dinner,I believe. You could get away with jeans and a polo at Arnauds or Antoines. If you call ahead at Antoines, you might be able to get a private room. Anniversary dinner in the Tabasco room sounds good.

You can wear anything at Antoines these days, and I don't mean that in a good way. Also, it sucks.
You may be able to wear that at Arnauds, but you will look out of place, though not embarrassingly so
You will be forced to wear a coat at Galatoires. They have a collection there they will let you choose from if need be

But he's pulling out the "nice" jeans.

I thought I was posting to the F&D board, not the OT or the rant. I just wanted some insight on the restaurants I listed not a verbal lashing about the attire I choose to wear.

First of all, I wouldn't choose any of those restaurants. Antoine's sucks. You will need a coat for Galatoire's, but it is a good old school place. Arnaud's is pretty good too.
I would do Herbsaint or August personally. If not, I would look at Gautreau's, Le Petite Grocery, or Clancy's for an anniversary.
You will probably be better off in slacks and a button down at any of those places, but you won't need a coat. You CAN wear jeans and a polo at any of those, but you may feel a bit out of place, especially at August or Gautreau's.
And the reason you are being made fun of:
"Nice Jeans" is a running joke around here. Anyone who comes in here with that gets a good ole fashioned rogering. Refusing to wear at least slacks and a button down to a nice restaurant is seen as pretty amusing.

Who helps you put your pants on..... cuz anyone looking at those 3 restaurants and wants to avoid dressing up on their anniversary certainly can't be putting on his own pants.

Don't know if this works for you, but you can try The Melting Pot on St. Charles...no strict dress code there

Okay, so it's your anniversary and you don't like to dress up. Nothing wrong with that: I'd rather have a bahn mi in the parking lot at Dong Phuong any day over a meal at Antoine's. Plenty of delicious places won't mind your polo & jeans, so skip the old school creole warhorses and the Uptown precious bistros with flattering lighting.

This is shaping up to be a great thread

I've heard good things about the cross in Jefferson parish

Cass, this thread has definitely taken a wrong turn. With that said, you should choose either a different list of places to eat or wear more formal attire. Congrats on the anniversary. Have fun.
