Dinner recommendation Uptown

FDB, need some help.
Got a buddy and his fiancé coming in town tomorrow and want to do dinner and drinks with them in Uptown/Carrolton area. Needs to be casual because my gf and I will both be coming straight from work. I was thinking Jacques-Imo's, Dick&Jennys, or Atchafalaya.... Certainly looking for more recommendations. Reservations for four ( I know that eliminates Jacques Imo's and D&J's) would be nice. Drinks before and after so a good bar & atmosphere would be nice. Blah blah blah you get the point!
TL;DR:
uptown/Carrolton
Casual enough for gf to be in scrubs
Reservations a plus
$20-30/person
Contemporary creole/local flavor

Atchafalaya out of those. By a long shot.

Haven't been there for anything but brunch.. I know 
Certainly would enjoy excuse to go for dinner. Is it casual enough? Their brunch has been fantastic every time we've been.

D&J's doesn't do rezzies?
They have a new menu that sounds very good. I would give them a call.

Can't your gf bring a change of clothes?
Somewhere you need reservations but can wear scrubs is weird to me

Upperline should fit into that category

Only for parties of five or more.... Heard about new menu as well which is why I included it

I'll throw Apolline in the mix.
Scrubs aren't great to see in a dining room. FYI.

Will absolutely do this if we have to. Not a problem and I agree with you now that you say it, it does seem odd

While that sounds like a great night to me, I think they want slightly fancier than that.
Excluding Jacque-imo's, which is a shithole and doesn't belong on that list.
It also sounds like they want Creole-ish food.

Madigan's? Really? I hardly ever see anyone in that place.

well it's Friday afternoon, they don't have reservations yet, sounds like they're limited on dress code and there's a huge Saints home game this weekend plus 20,000 people in town for a hematology conference. don't think they're just gonna walk into Gautreau's at 7p and get a table.
OP, give La Petite Grocery a call. it's similar in price and quality of food to Atchafalaya and I think everyone would enjoy either one.

OP, just did some legwork for you.
Atchafalaya has a 630 rez open right now
Apolline has a 630 and a 745
Dante's has a 645 and a 730
Mat & Naddie's has open rezzies across the board
Ye Olde College Inn has a 630 and a 730

Speaking of, my wife called over a month ago for tomorrow night and all she could get was 9pm.
I'm excited...never been to Gautreau's yet.

I would just go to publiq house. Drink a 40 and eat some popcorn. See where the night takes you from there.
