I searched for the name in "subject only", and couldn't find anything.

Obviously, I hear the food board loves it but I rarely hear much from anyone else about it. The picture looks tiny. Is this a small place? Reservations are needed I assume? What's the dress? Any recommendations?

They are a pretty big place. Great bar and atmosphere. Business casual is ok. I like the duck.

It's an old house... with tables in different rooms. The tables are pretty close together, so it is a rather "intimate" setting with your date and your neighbors.

Only been once but loved it... I got the venison.

As stated it is a small house with different room and close seating. Overall a great place, reservations needed. Good food, nice atmosphere. It's not on the radar of the masses IMo and that is an added plus too. You should have a great experience.

Oops--I read Maison Lacour but the brain said Mansurs. Yes, they are two tiny rooms. The menu rotates. Get the sweetbreads if they have them. They also have a lunch menu, which I didn't find as good.

Enjoy. I love the place.

LL--went for a birthday dinner. Fun and "different" place in BR to go for dinner. I wasn't thrilled with my selection of meal, but had a wonderful time being there.

Mike Jetty's place ?
Frenchy Awesomeness....

Plus I saw him in the stands at the Troy game until the final gun, so it means he's a real Tiger fan.

Food is ok but yes, the place is very small. My wife and I went their a couple years ago and i think the table next to us was about 2 feet away, literally. We had to whisper just so the people next to us wouldn't hear anything we said.

ML and Chef Jetty are my BR favs, along with Fleming's, and Mansur's. ML's soups, salads, steaks, veal, and tournedos, all are delicious. If in more expensive digs and location, or in Nawlins, Chef Jetty would be a star..

But, I'm glad they've avoided those pressures and trappings, that can and do catch up with some great chefs, especially in fickle BR..which has burned Maci, Parola, Brandt, Distefano, etc..as many talented and classicly trained and pedigreed chefs, when being bad businessmen and/or renting expensive digs, caught up to the often overzealous ones.
