Went to Mansur’s for the first time in about 15 years

It was damn good. I remember last time I went, I wasn’t that impressed.
The only thing that was not on par with the rest of the food was the spring rolls (or egg rolls). They were good, just not as great as the rest of the food.
Another item that was misleading was their duck & andouille gumbo. It was amazing but it wasn’t gumbo. It was like a sauce piquant.
Their charbroiled oysters were on point, as well their boudin arancini.
Three adults and a 17 year old, total bill was $230 before tip ($57 a person), with two beers and two martinis.

So, you tipped $34.50?

Oh you’re one of those types.
Regardless, good review.
Good to see it doing well. It’s one of those old school places for sure. Anything still kicking after the mid 90s deserves a shot.

We went a year or so back and enjoyed it. They have the best chargrilled oysters in the city imo.

Mansur's is always in my rotation of places to dine for special occasions. While everyone has a bad night occasionally, they have done extremely well through the years. As a matter of fact our rehearsal dinner was held in the old location in 1999.

Yesterday? I was there too.
We’ve been on a Mansurs kick lately, about once a week. It’s good vibes and good food IMO. Only do the bar area - actually dining room is funeral home-ish. But man their food is 10/10 every time.

Go to the sister restaurant, French Market bistro. I've always found their oysters to have the edge over Mansur's
I bet that boudin arancini was quite good.

I always thought you were older than that. Now your post history makes a bit more sense though

They always have great fish options. I enjoy their gumbo the few times I have had it. Im usually a shrimp cocktail, oysters, then whatever fish they have that sounds good order though

I thought you had to get on a diet because of your health?

Mansur’s has been very good for years. A great variety of items!

I host at least two large private events there each year. The food is always excellent, great service. As someone who has to host large corporate dinners regularly, they are hard to beat.
