I haven't been to any upscale BR places in the last 3-4 years. Are Mansur's and Juban's still putting out great food? Any new places that are worth trying?

Stroubes downtown is very good, as is Le Creole on Highland.

I went to Mansur's about a month ago. It was great. I always loved that place.

I've only had a drink at Juban's int he past 5 years, but they still had a big crowd. My parents still eat there every now and then. They say its still pretty good.

I tell ya, my wife and I had a fantastic meal at Galatoire's Bistro a few months ago. I know some have said they weren't wowed by it, but we had a great dinner.

Not a big fan of Mansur's just because it's a more casual-type setting with fine dining prices. I'd rather go with Ruth's, Fleming's, or Ruffino's at those prices. I've never had a bad meal from Juban's.

Edit: grammatical

Edit2: If you want a real treat, go to Roberto's.

Beausoleil is the place you're looking for.

Would recommend Beausoleil as well. Ate there last Friday for a rehearsal dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Not exactly "fine dining" but the food was great and the atmosphere was nice.

All of the above mentioned are good if not great options...
However, stay away from Jubans. It is not on par with any of these places except for with cost.

Thanks for the replies. My wife is craving soft shell crab so I'm leaning towards Juban's this trip. Mansur's is on deck for the next trip.

ETA: From comments in a previous thread on here and yelp reviews I don't plan on having a steak at Jubans.

I've been to Mansurs and Jubans multiple times over the past few years and both have been hit-and-miss. With the exception of their chargrilled oysters and small portion sizes (particularly on their rabbit spaetzel), my meals at Beausoleil have àll been good. Still, my favorite 'upscale' place in town is Maison Lacour.
