Chicken- sorry, but won't be able to review Mike's on the Ave., changed to Brennan's

Anyway, called to confirm dress code and the hostess said business casual.

My question- should I include a jacket? How about a suit and no tie?

TIA

I'd at least wear a jacket.

Why Brennan's, though? Haven't heard many good things about it.

WIves decided that shite and now I'm kinda pissed about it cause I've got to go to a concert dressed as if I was going to a special mass. I get what I deserve.

What concert?

You can just wear a sports coat and take it off later. If you don't wear that it won't be a horrible faux pas there, though (I'm pretty sure).

Definitely no need for a suit.

I think Galatorires is the only place left in the Quarter that still requires a jacket at night.

I wouldn't sweat it too much, either way.

Oh.

It's not like you'd look silly wearing a sports coat to that -- if there's even really a way to not look silly going to that. :rimshot:

a jacket for breakfast? I heard you could wear shorts and a polo for breakfast. Is this true?

Chicken, have you considered putting dress code information on the restaurant guide?

Just don't show up in shorts, flip flops and wearing a fanny pack and I will not kill you.

Def. no jacke required, but out of respect for the place, I would do dress pants and a shirt with a collar. Not that big of a deal.

First off, I was thoroughly underwhelmed by my meal. As for my original question, what a joke! All kinds of folks dressed in shorts (cargo, dressier styles, basketball, etc.), t-shirts, short sleeved polos (not even nice ones), couple of Affliction types (IIRC). Overall, very few folks were nicely dressed.

VERY disappointing experience for as much $$$$ as we paid.

Sorry we let you do that. You said the wife wanted to go there, so I wasn't going to talk you out of it.
I will not go there unless someone else is paying. Not even a top 25 restaurant and you are right, it is not worth the money.

I suspected, as much, and even wrote a post to suggest going elsewhere, but since you said the wives picked the place, I figured you had no control, so I didn't post.

I think many of the NO restaurants are relaxing dress codes due to the heat, but also due to the dollar. Antoine's lifted the jacket requirement earlier, this year. In April, I saw plenty of jeans and golf shirts there on a Friday night. No shorts, but most folks aside from our table were very casually dressed. The thing to do is to call the restaurants.

I wouldn't wear jeans, there, but it doesn't get me all freaked out or ruin my experience if someone else does. Once people are seated, I can't see their bottom halves, anyway, and I'm not usually judging fashion during dinner.

I saw jeans at Commander's for brunch over a year ago.
