Galatoire's Bistro

Mrs. s'happy and I went there tonight to grab a bite and check it out. I know this is the first week open, however, our meal was delicious. She had shrimp and grits. I had shrimp remoulade, along with a bowl of Andouille and duck gumbo. We loved the food. Problem is this restaurant is one of the loudest I've ever been in, without music....Too loud for a "semi-high end" restaurant. Also, the tables were very close together, which made it uncomfortable. Service was good.

Ever eaten in New York City?

Yep. I dined there last night.

Loud noise in a high end restaurant bothers me too

Ate there for the first time a few years ago. Very loud indeed.

I agree, we couldn't hear what the waiter was saying because it was so loud. It may have something to do with having one large dining room with a drywall ceiling. Not very good for acoustics.

How much did that run you? Do they have table cloths? What's the lighting and decor like?

Is it trying to mimic the original in New Orleans? That main dining room can be incredibly loud, but it always seemed to improve the atmosphere to me. Might work out better for this joint than the rather sterile dining room the old Galatoire's Bistro had.
ETA: Damn, beaten to it.

It was awesomely roomy and quaint when I used to go to it at its old location over by Highland & Perkins in the southeastern corner of the parish.
I understand from a business perspective why they want to move to a busier part of town, but from a customer's perspective, I'm quite sure that I will like the new location less.

Meh, don't think I'll be giving it a try anytime soon. The more I spend on dinner, the more I expect to be able to enjoy the food and company at my table. It's also a shame that the outdoor area is a stone's throw from Perkins. Oh well. Hopefully it will at least decrease the wait times at restaurants I prefer

Oysters Rockefeller and Crabmeat Maison. Man I have a craving!

I think I'll try it for myself and see how the noise level is. I like to be able to hear my dining companions and the waiter, but I don't care for quiet restaurants at which I feel the need to whisper so the rest of the diners don't hear my conversation. I like lively places.
