re: Looking for a good anniversary dinner in NOLA

I'm intrigued about Antoine's, Arnaud's, and Galatoires just from lists that I've seen. How are these 3 places and what is the dress code at each. I'm trying to do nice jeans and polo. I would prefer not to grab the sportscoat from the back of the closet...TIA
I'm not one to care much about what other people wear to restaurants. It doesn't bother me because I don't focus on other diners' clothing when I'm enjoying a meal. I dress in a way I feel is appropriate for the restaurant and in a way in which I feel comfortable. That being said, if it doesn't bother you to wear jeans and a polo in a restaurant where most every other diner will be dressed up a bit more, that's up to you.
Your list of restaurants includes 3 at which most people will not be wearing jeans and one at which a sports coat is required at night. They're considered "nice" restaurants, so I'm assuming you're looking for a "nice" restaurant at which you can go casual.
I would scratch Antoine's altogether, though, regardless of the dress issue. I enjoy eating at one of the old school traditional New Orleans restaurants once or twice a year. I enjoy the atmosphere and the food. I'd go to Galatoire's out of those three. Arnaud's second, though I enjoy going there for brunch very much. It's festive.
You might consider R'evolution. The food is very good and I've seen a few people here and there in jeans. Most will have at least slacks or khakis and a button down or a sports coat. It's a good "anniversary" restaurant. Nice atmosphere, great service and darn good food.
Another more casual restaurant for traditional New Orleans and South LA foods is Bon Ton Cafe, but it's only open on weekdays. Not open Saturday or Sunday.
I agree with Fun Bunch's list, so take a look at those options.
Happy Anniversary!

I think we decided on R'evolution but still keeping Galatoire's as a second option and for all concerned I changed my mind I WILL be wearing slacks and a sports coat.
I have another question for you guys.......How is the food at Borgne? It is in the hotel we are staying in so it would be convenient to eat there on Sunday.
