Some dinner, some breakfast, and some cocktail places. I have no idea what specifically they want for dinner, and since they are all women, neither do they, so just throw out some recs that have some decent cocktails, preferably of the fruity variety.

I recommended Willa Jean for breakfast, was that a good choice?

Do they still have that place where all of the "waitresses" are drag queens?

Willa Jean is a great choice. The earlier the better as it will get crowded being the new place in town.

Was really surprised I walked into Peche with 4 people Saturday at 6:30 without a reservation and was seated immediately. Had a really solid meal

I would also choose places that are harder to rob. Larger places with multiple rooms and maybe levels like Ave Pub. Would be harder to rob everyone there than a place like monkey hill. It's truly sad to say this.

I would be lying if I said all the recent restaurant robberies did not have me just a bit concerned

what restaurants have the best cocktails? I honestly think that is more important than the food

A nice cocktail place is grape vine. has happy hour for glasses and bottles of wine. The food is decent also.

Breakfast: The rib room at the Omni Hotel. The filet omelet is legit and they have the best bloody marys in the quarter.

Brunch: Mr. B's

Wasn't making a joke. That block isn't lit very well at night. It's a smaller place with higher end patrons.

Sylvain is a must for mid afternoon drinks and apps. My wife LOVES Cafe Amalie, drinks and food. If they're dressed up the Sazerac is a nice place for cocktails. Depending on how old they are a show at One Eyed Jacks is great to avoid the dry humping crowd. Here's a bullshite map I made for an anniversary a couple of years ago, some of these places don't exist anymore.

R2R's list is by far the most legit list for chicks on here.

Bottomless mimosas is also something to consider. Appoline has that for brunch.
