Taking my bride to NO for a weekend before the madness of school starts in a couple of weeks. Want to eat somewhere memorable- need suggestions for a very nice night out. Looking at commanders, Irene’s, la petite grocery, Brennan’s, Arnaud’s...any other suggestions would be appreciated. And of course a dish recommendation at that restaurant. Go

Take her to Colette’s.

It’s “All She Can Eat” there on weekends.

Commanders, I understand it’s subjective but based on your criteria, it’s really not. I love la petit and arnauds but they’re clearly below commanders. Irene’s and Brennan’s are fun and still really good but Down another notch.

If you are not in NOLA much you can’t go wrong with Commanders but if it was someone who comes here on occasion but has not gone to Irene’s that is where I would send them.

Out of your list, I’d suggest Commander’s. The menu changes a bit but the shrimp henican app is always available. My favorite and I’d start there.

I second Brigtsen’s, as well.

Too many great options...i’d probably do Herbsaint or La Petite Grocery.

Tasting menu with wine pairing at Restaurant August will be a memorable experience. Beautiful setting, impeccable service, great food. Tell them it’s a special occasion

Commanders and Brigstens are great calls, too

Four of us went to Irene’s a few months ago before they moved to the new location and it was one of the best meals/times we’ve had at dinner. None of us looked at the menu. We told the waiter to bring us his best appetizers and each an entree of choice. We all loved it. Every dish was awesome.
