That'll probably be a good spot for them.

Not a bad spot for them. Hopefully Perkins Rowe has gone down on the rent some because what they used to charge for rent in there is insane.

Can you imagine the chargrilled/butter oil smell permeating the air at Perkins Rowe?! Should be interesting! Hopefully they succeed there.

I'm surprised they're actually opening a new location, tbh.

It is definitely true according to the owner Tommy C.

Would be much more ideal than their Constitution Ave location. I've only been once but the oysters were solid. I've heard not-so-great things about the service, however.

Best oysters out there. The rest, meh. I like the ideal of the new location. Can get chargrilled and hang out at the Rowe.

Based on what? Tommy also said they couldn’t afford the lease at the old location. They own the damn building.

There’s no deal for them to go there at this time and you’ve provided no substance. A year ago Desi Vega’s was coming to BR to take over the Drago’s location too.

Based on Tommy being in the location with a couple of his managers and telling me to my face he is moving in there.
Is that enough substance for you?
What is your substance?
Just your own thoughts?

I’d prefer not to say but I will tell you that he has looked at the property. Those talks have not gone any further. 10 other groups have looked at the building as well. My source is someone specifically involved in these talks. Again, Tommy historically hasn’t been the most honest guy. Sorry if that hurts your feelings

So you still don’t offer substance
Doesn’t hurt my feelings
We certainly didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. I’m sure sometimes you may be actually correct

A face to face conversation with Tommy is likely better than your source even though you consider him to be a liar.

Readers digest version:

Drago‘s owner and team is at location in Perkins Rowe and tells me he is moving in
Another poster tells me Drago‘s owner is a liar, but he has an unnamed source who tells the truth and Drago’s is not moving in.
That’s all I got.

They were bad when I ate there about 2 years ago. Barely grilled. I hope you they’ve improved bc the food was not quality like Dragos in Metairie. Maybe just a bad day.
