I'd look at Herbsaint. Great place

Herb is a great option.

Also- I believe Adolfo's new place (& Chef Jared) is opening this week. Can't remember the name. Might be something to consider.

Primitivo is the name. Went to soft opening Saturday. Tripe dish from a Mano back in town. Id give them a few services to get used to fire. Beautiful space

so no Commanders, but Herbsaint?

always comes off as kinda stuffy to me. better place to take to impress a date or business clientele. Not a guys night out type place in my eyes.

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.

Never been to Commanders, but I don't find Herbsaint stuffy. More boisterous, loud...with excellent food and service.

I think Cochon is pretty ideal for a group of dudes.
