It's EASILY one of the most overrated restaurants in New Orleans.
The quality of food coming out of that kitchen is in no way worthy of the massive crowds they receive.

That reeks of pretentiousness

Exactly. It may be overrated to some, because they aren't a fan of the food or what's being done there. That's fine. To dog the place though is a bit ridiculous, especially considering its popularity and (GASP!) good food. It's the "I hate what's popular because I am so awesome" pretentious mentality that rules the minds of those dogging it

I think the place is pretty average food wise. Especially compared to its price point.

I submit there is nothing unique about the food, location, or "taste" (whatever that means). I suppose the atmosphere is unique, but not to the extent to drive popularity.
The poster who stated it's for tourists, and people who dine in NOLA a few times a year was spot on. I've probably been more times then most on this board, and aside from a few dishes it's forgettable.
