Solid list.

The only one I would possibly change is Ralphs on the Park. Never really been impressed with that place.

Yeah, the Ralph's choice is a little odd, but I'm sure you will still enjoy.
You got your drinking spots picked out already?

Went to Ralph's last month and it was solid. They have a 3 apps + glass of wine for $33 that I'm going to take advantage of.

Just finished at LPG a little while ago. We had the blue crab beignets (one of the best apps I've ever had), Abita root beer braised short rib, turtle bolognese, an order of fries, mac n' cheese, and butterscotch pudding. I'd classify everything as great or better, with the exception of the turtle, which was a little too lemony for my taste. It was my first time there and it definitely deserves a return visit.

Just wrapped up dinner at Ralph's. I didn't think it would be possible for any meal of the trip to beat what we had for lunch today, but damn if Ralph's didn't pull it off. I had the 3 apps + glass of wine for $33 special -- I had the yaka mein, chicken liver and watermelon salad, and sweetbreads. The salad was the best salad I have ever eaten in my entire life. Today will go on as one of the best food days of my life, no doubt.

OK so I just made it back to BR. If i had to rank the meals I had, i'd rank em like this:

1) Ralph's on the Park
2) La Petite Grocery
3) Commander's Palace
4) Herbsaint
5) Tan Dinh (last-minute replacement since Adolfo's had a 90-minute wait)
