I was told today by what should be a reliable source that there will be a new Dock built. Construction will start soon and it will be located on the site of the old Fitzgerald's.

Well I won't be a naysayer because I think it would be fantastic, so hopefully someone has been able to figure something out there.

I love West End. Thing is, it's my inner 'yat. And I grew up in central La.

From the new pics on fb, it looks like it will be a great place to grab drinks and not just eat too! Hope so!

So happy that West End/Lakefront is getting a restaurant scene. Great location with wonderful views. I will gladly support these two restaurants and hope that Landry's shuts down.


They're supposed to redo the park by where Coconut Beach used to be. I'm hoping this increases our property values in this area.

The chef of Brisbi's comes from Pascal Manales. David Difelice. I've never eaten Manales so I cant say if he is any good

I have nothing against David, but I really hope the food is a couple of notches above Manale.

I went this past Saturday for the LSU game.

I like the layout, U shaped bar when you first walk in, with tables surrounding it. The inside is a bit smaller then I thought it would be though, probably 12-14 or so tables. Nice Oyster bar looking out towards the water. Clean modern Decor has a nice feel to it with light blue and gray tiles with probably 20 foot ceilings.

They have two large gararge doors that span most of the lake side of the restaurant, they open up to the huge patio which is about the same size as the inside area. Very nice dock area downstairs that they can do alot with as well.

They said they are hoping to start serving food this weekend. I picture myself having a lot of sunset drinks on that patio.

Probably 30 or so people around the bar, mixture of people in upper 20's to 50's. All Old Metairie and Lakeview people I knew. My type of crowd with some good looking women

Check their facebook page for updates. Apparantly they got slammed last week and have some "kinks" to work out. They were going to cut some hours and go to a shortened menu for a while.

Anybody tried it out yet?

Stopped by last friday and the wait was over an hour so I decided to go elsewhere. Thinking about giving it a try soon.

Damn! I bet the folks at Blue Crab wish they could be open to catch some of this overflow.
