NOLA - $100/pp Celebratory Meal

I am partial to Lilette

Zasu wouldn’t be a bad choice. I’ll throw out Kingsway.

Zasu is exceptional food, first class all the way around, some of the dishes we had were stunning. Atmosphere and service did not come close to that though, but maybe that’s an outlier.

at 100/pp before booze you have dozens of options what kind of experience are you looking for? One fun date place we love is Mr Mao. If you want romantic though that’s not a good choice

Mr Mao is a good shout too. Fun spot, creative food and drink.

Another spot which I am curious to try is Kira. Just opened where Barcadia used to be. The head chef helped get the current iteration of Emeril’s off the ground. Only question is the owner/proprietor - not the most well liked or known for restaurants with excellent food.

Oh, and Eviva…really would like to make it there soon. Have heard good things just don’t like that part of town.

Wife and I went to La Petite a while back. It was really good and a nice atmosphere.

If you do Lilette, courtyard is the way to go as long as it isn't too cold.

We will be going to St. Clare for our anniversary this coming Thursday. I can report on that after we go.

Thanks for all the recs. Paladar was also on the short list. Forgot about Lilette. I'll give those two as well as Zasu as suggestions to the wife and see what she's feeling. I've been fortunate enough to already go to most of the others listed and I'm interested in something new.

Ok, if you haven't made any reservations, try Saint Claire. Really damn good
