I know nothing about this place. However, when I hear someone complain about "portions" I usually think that person just needs to hit up the nearest all you can eat buffet.

Nice review, Schwartzy. I'd suggest putting it in the dining forum, but I don't think Chicken cares much about that anymore.

Hope it goes up. I gave him two New Orleans restaurants to add a long time ago and he ignored me on the Help page. They still aren't there so I figure he's not tending to it. He also moved it from it's previous prominent postion at the top of the page.

Post on the Help Board. Maybe he'll respond. I'm sure he's been busy deleting, anchoring and banning over the game weekend in addition to dealing with pick 'em, but I get the feeling it's not much of a pet any longer.

Nice review.

I like the place. One of the better lunch spots in town, imo.

Portions? People eat too much. This coming from someone that eats alot...... There is a reason the south has such a high obesity rate. I find them just fine...

Had lunch at Beausoleil Friday, and it was delicious as always. That was my 4th meal there.
Got the mussels, some drinks, the duck confit salad, mac and cheese, and the seared tuna.

quote:

Drinks: I had an Old Fashioned, and it's the best I've ever had. They make their own cane syrup in house to sweeten it. The perfect mix of sweet, spicy, and...bourbony.


I've been there for drinks only a few times. A friend of mine goes for drinks a few times a week. They have a great bar.

quote:

Apps: Wife just wanted a salad, so got that. Looked great for what it was, but nothing fancy


It's not on the menu anymore, but they stil have their roasted beet salad and it's my FAVORITE.

quote:

Mussels topped with fries and a saffron aioli. The fries, mussels, and aioli were awesome, but what really stole the show as the broth


I've had these on almost every visit. I am obsessed with mussels though. I love shellfish of all kinds. Beausoleil has my favorite mussels .. along with Luke in NOLA.

quote:

I had the rabbit. It's not what I was expecting, but it was really, really good. Think of chicken casserole, only 100x tastier. Shredded rabbit with spaetzle, carrots, peas, mushrooms, and a kind of creamy Dijon sauce.



Is it bigger now? Was delicious but very small when I had it. I see your photo, but hard to tell the size in relation to anything.

Ah, I see portions have already been brought up. The problem may have been corrected, but believe me.. the portions were very small at one point.

I'm certainly far from large or a heavy eater. And I'm aware of places where the food is higher quality and smaller portions, but this was a bit much. That being said, I haven't had a problem since that time.
