Best New Orleans Restaurant to take out a group who has never been?

Looking for a great dinner to showcase my hometown to a few buddies. We'll be in New Orleans for work and have one free night to have a great dinner.
I've been living away for several years now and last time I was in town during football season, was sad to see that my once-favorite spot had fallen off. (I won't name names since I've loved this place for years and I'm hoping they just had a bad night).
Any recommendations for a group of guys? Price isn't really an object. Would rather a more casual atmosphere but won't sacrifice great food for a more laid back vibe.

Come on now, let us know the place so we can at least know what you did like when it was better?
This board isn't so powerful that one bad thread will ruin a N.O. restaurant.

For a "guys" Dickie Brennon's steak house has never let me down. It's casual, you can get loaded, and have a good steak.

A bit more info would be helpful. What type of food do you want to showcase? Traditional old New Orleans? More eclectic? Seafood? One of the grand dame restaurants? What night of the week(that can make a difference)? Does location matter? How many in your group? Does noise level matter?
What is the restaurant of which you speak? Might help us with some suggestions.

I take this as four professional men coming to town for business and looking for a great dinner as he stated. Why not Bayona? Should they just go to Hooters and get some pitchers and wings? Wanting to showcase New Orleans I would not go to Dickie Brennan's even though I love the place. I can get a good steak in Dallas, Houston, Tulsa wherever I'm coming from. Chances are I can't get a nice soft shell crab or fresh speckled trout, turtle soup etc...
Emerils and Delmonico should be considered as well. I'd even say K Paul's even though it doesn't get much on this board it is still a great place.

Domenica & Cochon are good choices. Borgne is good too and they have other options besides seafood.
Posted on 5/26/15 at 9:48 am to Jamohn
The correct answer is Coquette.

well priced fried seafood
Jack Dempsy's
Deanie's (out of towners love it fwiw)
To wine and Dine on Creole food
Commander's Palace
Muriel's
Cheaper but similar and less dressy
Palace Cafe
Great Cajun food
Couchon
Great flame roasted seafood
Peche
Simple Louisiana Food
Parkway Bakery(another place tourists seem to love being brought to)

Before dinner, perhaps hit up Felix's for some raw oysters (not at a table but at the bar). On my first visit to New Orleans I was taken there and found it a gas to stand there slurping them down as fast as my personal oyster shucker opened them.
Drago's may be another place for a quick appetizer before dinner somewhere else.
Actually, nevermind. I just saw that one of your peeps is allergic to shellfish. That would suck. I've had to give up certain things, but shellfish would be very tough. I'm assuming shellfish would include oysters, scallops, clams, shrimp, any sort of crab, lobster, mussels, crawfish...damn.
