DISCLAIMER:First time posting on this board. I did a search and did not find anything besides the local food challenge and that is not what I am looking for.

I am so tired of eating the same places and am looking for some new suggestions to start trying. Doesn't really matter what type of food and price doesn't really matter either. Me and the wife go on at least two dates a month and I really want to start changing it up.

Any ideas are appreciated and would love to hit a new place this Wednesday. Thank you.

What are the same old places?
There are gazillions of restaurants in Nola. Help us out a little.
Have you been to Peche or Tableau yet? Geautreau's? Done any Chef's tables? That can be different, but some places have a minimum number of guests.

a couple of casual spots:

Singleton's on Garfield
Bayou Hot Wings on Claiborne
Nola Pho Life on N. Peters
Rivista on Magazine
Pizzicare on Tulane
Sammy's on Elysian Fields

as far as nicer places go, I can't believe there are too many places that haven't been mentioned on this board at least once.

maybe..

Mondo
Sara's
MiLa
Meauxbar

Go see the Real Pie Man
Buy the muffuletta at Casey Jones
Go get the the roast beef or shrimp poboy from the Derbigny Food Store
Go to the Banaana Blossom if you like Thai
Check out Cafe DiBlasi for eye-talian
Go see Vincent's or Yard Arm for boiled seafood

Obscure enough for you?

Welcome to the board.
It looks like you ate at alot of chains, so step one is to please stop doing that. Too many good restaurnats around here to be eating at Outback, Copelands and stuff like that.

Already tons of good places have been listed.

My go to places for casual date night restaurants with the wife are cafe degas, vincents in Metairie, and the hidden gem Sandros(great Italian place in strip mall across from Lafranier Park).

If you like steak, you have to try La Boca. This is a little bit of an unconvential steak place with great odd cuts of meat.

I'll help you out.

Mayas.

Your friends and family will not have heard of it either and will praise you for finding this "hidden gem"

Welcome to the world of living to eat instead of eating to live.

Judging by your list and places you've never heard of, you're in for a big treat! You could easily never eat at the same place twice for years and years.

Consider not discounting places you've heard of, but never been to because you will be missing out on some very good food if you do.

Have fun and keep asking about places here. You'll get a lot of help and order suggestions and, most importantly, report back on the food and the experience!

Chicken likes people to rate and write reviews on the dining guide, also. The guide might be helpful to you as well.
