[quote]I personally don't like Compere Lapin. The flavor profiles they have just seem messy to me. A lot of the stuff I have had seems adventurous on paper; but doesn't end up that way. [/quote] Definitely one of the most over-hyped places I've ever been to in New Orleans...was it bad? Absolutel...

Been a long time since I've been, probably 5 years, but I always enjoyed the heck out of the rack o' lamb they served up....

[quote] Would be a good spot, but fair warning there is a running event for Global Running Day being hosted there today at 6:00pm. Could be busy.[/quote] Thanks - hopefully I can get there around 5 to avoid that stuff....

[quote]Brewery Saint X would work too. Been twice and the food has been excellent (actually going before a concert on Saturday as well). [/quote] Thanx, that one looks good and uncomplicated. :cheers:...

[quote]I never see this place mentioned on here, but I kind of dig it for what it is and might be a good place for this situation - in other words, not a big sit down meal kind of place, but something to eat and drink before a show. Pluck Wines[/quote] Gotta admit, I've never even heard of it!...

Eats In CBD Before Concert...

Posted by BrockLanders on 6/6/23 at 1:51 pm
Afternoon All, Seeing Duran Duran tomorrow, and I haven't eaten in the CBD in a really long time, so can anyone recommend a few decent places that are fairly close to the King Of Smoothie? As long as it's better quality than Subway, I'm pretty much open to almost anything... Thanx in adva...
[quote]Stella! Certainly had the pretentiousness to land it multiple stars. Service was crazy. Food was good too, but the service and wine list really stood out in my experience. [/quote] I've been fortunate enough to have eaten at two different 3 Michelin star joints, and if you ever get to com...
Definitely the greatest show of this century to me. I'd always make a place for it on the personal Mt. Rushmore for sure....
[quote]My information may not be 100% accurate, but it was explained to me that SageSure left the State.

Rizutto's

Posted by BrockLanders on 10/25/22 at 12:21 pm
Afternoon All, I owe a friend of mine an expensive dinner, and it's not my choice to pick the place, so right now it's Rizutto's, because of that "Spinalis Ribeye" they have. Should I be pushing for a different place? I've never been, know very little about it, etc. Thank you in advance!...
