What to expect? What is the meal to get? I hear the rabbit is incredible.

This is a treat for my daughter and wife who love to watch Top Chef. Looking forward to the meal

Been to many great places (I know I forget the majority of them). Been to French Laundry, NOLA, Comanders, Delmonicos,…the first time to Besh place. Looking forward to it.

It was great before Besh. He's done well with it.

Fitzmorris was praising Besh mightily, saying the place has been getting better and better. Maybe as good as pre-Besh days.

I've never been.

Make sure you tell the girls to bring a sweater. I specifically remember it being freezing in there.

I had a really great meal there about two years ago. Took my mom for her birthday and it she knew Just Joyce the lady that works the front of house.

Call them up and tell Joyce that you are having a special meal for your daughter and she will make it perfect. Ask her to write your daughter a poem.

Been there twice this year - everything has been fantastic. The grouper cooked in crab fat butter was out of this world.

You can go pick some fresh herbs out back and check out the baby geese and pigs too while you're there.

Skip the duck, it was gamey and dry. I wanted it to be good but wasn't that impressed.

I had the opposite experience with the duck - perfectly roasted and juicy. Lamb is always good, too. They do a great gumbo, that comes with a deboned quail in the bowl, which is stuffed with rice.
