Help me pick a BR restaurant for anniversary dinner
Posted on 1/8/14 at 6:17 pm

I have an anniversy dinner date coming up in a couple weeks.
I see that Beausoleil gets a lot of love on this board. I am tempted but not sure. I looked over the menu online. Price isn't a problem but I am wondering how would someone who normally eats more simple types of food like such a place.
Other possibilities are Ruth Chris and Flemings which I consider a bit more of "safe" options.

Ruffino's a possibility?

We've been there as well as most of the fine dining restaurants in BR. I think I am leaning towards Beausoleil but might need reassuring that it will be solid all around or clarification that its more of an acquired taste for the menu options.

For an anniversary dinner, do something special and out-of-the-ordinary.
Roberto's on River Rd in Sunshine is an option, especially if she likes "simple" food.

Jesus just look at all the praise it gets on this board. It's a really solid restaurant, with delicious food, cool casual atmosphere, and sharp service. Don't know what other reassuring you need. I mean if you're looking for a place where you can order food "without weird stuff in it" then just stick to a steakhouse.

Ruffinos and Juban's for a local flare.
Both are solid, as is Mansurs.
Obv Flemings and Ruth's are top notch.
Went to Maison Lacour 2-3 months ago from advice from the board.
Wasn't impressed.
Not a huge fan of Roberto's either.
I'm interested in beausoleil. Prob go there soon.

This board seriously needs a clear definition of what is construed as "weird stuff" and while were on the subject, a clear understanding of what constitutes "regular food" and "irregular food" would also be quite helpful.

Have you been to Houmas House. The plantation grounds are incredible for such an occasion. The dining rooms are small and intimate...

I like the fire places in ruffinos.
Posted on 1/8/14 at 7:04 pm to Who Me
Beau Soleil or LA Lagnaippe would be my choices.

Surprise her, and take the short trip to Hammond to Jacmel Inn, thank me later.

This x 1000. Jacmel Inn in the winter is one of my favorite dining venues. Food is great, and the atmosphere with all of the fireplaces going is hard to top. I would call them the occasion and have them seat you in one of their small rooms in front of a roaring fireplace.
The wife and I ate here twice last year between Christmas and New Years and were really impressed.

I think Maison LaCour closed....

There's a pork chop and a chicken breast on the menu. If the pesto butter on the chicken is giving you pause, then a straight up steakhouse might be your best bet.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll bump with an update after the dinner.

call and tell them it's you anniversary, have your roses already delivered and on the table (or one rose like i did) and enjoy some wine out by the fireplace.
it will be a dinner she talks about for awhile!

Digiulio Bros. for my 1st anniversary. It has nostalgia to the relationship of my wife and I but I would go there for an anniversary even if it hadn't any meening.
