GW Fins or Restaruant August

I know they're very different restaurants, but if you could eat one meal at either place, which would you choose?
I'm a native New Orleanian, but haven't lived there since 1993. My wife and I will be in town for a couple of days in June and I was thinking of making reservations at August until I noticed that GW Fins was the highest rated New Orleans restaurant on tripadvisor.com. Plus I remember a number of you on this food board raving about GW Fins.
So locals, help a brother out and give me your opinion.
TIA.

Tripadvisor is only good for so much.
Fins is awesome.
But August is the best in the city, period.

August by a mile and get the tasting menu with wine pairings.
I do like Finns though, dined here at least a dozen times over the years and have never been disappointed.

Have not made it to August yet but was disappointed by GW Fins. If you have a free evening try Restaurant Patois. It was the best meal I had when I was in NOLA in December

Fins is fine. But there's no contest with August. It's August by a mile.

I would go to August

Thanks for the replies everybody.

GW Fins a chain that outsiders would recognize, versus August a name that insiders keep from thier own friends. Take your pick. August by the distance from LA to NOLA plus airfare.

GW Fins is a chain? I didn't know that.

Went to Fins once, wasn't impressed. Haven't been to August, but I'd still say August hands down.
