Hitting the big 40 very soon and want to go somewhere nice with the wife. Havent been to either of these and both have been on my list. How are both with current state of affairs? Currently leaning toward Gautreau's. preference of the FB frequenters?

Gautreaus. Not even close. Closest you should get to Antoines is the Hermès Bar

Gautreau’s. This isn’t a question.

For good pre/post dinner drinks in a cool spot in the FQ, Hermes Bar at Antoine's is awesome. For an actual dinner, Gautreau's 100% of the time.

Yeah they are two completely different places.
Gautreaus is a real, honest to god excellent restaurant.
Antoines is basically a museum with...alright food.

This is probably the most accurate description of Antoine's that I have seen.

What is in there that makes it a museum? Honest question as I have never heard of either of these places. It kinda sounds like buckhorn exchange in Denver.

Its one of the oldest (some say oldest) family run restaurants in the United States.
It has a bunch of rooms with displays of various things (mostly mardi gras royalty stuff), and you can take tours of it.
The menu is very old school stuff and is somewhat worth it for experience but the food is very average.
They did invent Baked Alaska and that is a very good dessert. Its really more of a tourist experience all around.
Gautreau's blows it out the fricking water food wise. A very very good restaurant in a nice setting.

I will add that Antoine's is a blast with a large group in one of their private rooms. I recently went to a 40th birthday party there with 30 or so people. It was great. But Gautreau's unquestionably wins for a smaller, more intimate dinner.

Great description. In all but maybe a dozen other cities in the US Antoine's would be a top 10 restaurant in that city. In New Orleans its just a slightly above average meal at that price point, especially for a small table.
Will add, the front bar (Hermes Bar) is legit. And the restaurant is not bad for a big group (say 15 plus people) curated menu lunch/dinner in one of the private rooms (assuming your group isn't bothered by all of the old white people on walls pretending to be royalty, don't ask how I know).

I agree with this. Did my grandpa's 85th BDay in a private room years ago and it was a blast.

If these are the only options then Gautreau’s
Personally, I would prefer Brigtsen’s or Clancy’s

Gautreau's.
Antoine's has been in decline for a while and the food, while never the best is New Orleans, is way down.

This isn't even close - Geautreau's.
