Tell me about Bon Ton Cafe in New Orleans

I've wanted to eat there for a few years now and it has been closed or either set apart for private dining when I have just tried to walk in. But, the place intrigues me. I'll be in the city for a week in June on business and want to give it a shot.
Anyone eat there? What did you think? What do you recommend?

Its about as quintessential (eta: I guess its quintessential New Orleans) as you can get and the family that runs it are good people. Crabmeat au gratin and bread pudding are always legit. Now that you've mentioned it I want to go while I'm in town.

I love it. It's solid. My standard is a cup of crawfish bisque and the crabmeat au gratin which I do not allow them to dump out onto my plate because it cools too quickly. Usually share the bread pudding. It's heavy and it definitely packs a punch.

I tried it after seeing in on the Food Network. It was very good. I remember the crab au gratin but nothing else. I said I'd go back next time but always forget about it.

Crabmeat Au Gratin FTW

The catfish and oyster Alvin are my favorites.

I wish more people that come to N.O. looking for the "cajun" food would end up here and not at a place like Mulattes.

Oysters Alvin. One of my favorites in NO.

Always has been a Friday Power Lunch spot,
Bisque, Red Fish Bon Ton with crabmeat, crabmeat au gratin, all solid
Ask for Ms. Joy, she'll take care of you.
