Galatoires and Antoine's live off of their reputations of being old established New Orleans restaurants.. that's the extent of what they have to offer the city's culinary scene. If some people find that charming or worth their money good for them, but they've been surpassed as far as quality dishes go.
You do realize how cliche' your post sounds, right?
There's nothing wrong with traditional cuisine done well. You can find good old line restaurants in N.O., NYC, S.F. and Chicago that are worth visiting from time to time.
Of course I eat at the newer places for the most part, but I still enjoy a really fresh trout meuniere w/ lump crabmeat, souffle' potatoes, oysters Rockefeller and a Godchaux's salad every now and then. With a lot of drinks.

I love Galatoire's. I love old New Orleans dishes and old New Orleans restaurant atmosphere. Everything I eat there is excellent. I don't care to eat an eclectic aspiring ovely described meal every time I dine out. I like my old favorites, as well. Always slip one or two in on restaurant trips. It's always fun and delicious. Wish I had some Galatoire's oysters rock oysters Arnaud right now. A good soft shell crab wouldn't be bad either.
Those were the days . . .

CP is fine. Galatoire's is great for what it is and aspires to be. I'm not an Antoine's fan, but it's silly for R2R to say any of them are not "worth a shite".
yeah shrimp remoulade and black drum. epic!!!

Any place worth its salt should let you order off menu, imo.
never got the motive behind this. so if a restaurant doesn't offer off the menu items they're not worth their salt? sounds like more of the "in-the-know" exclusivity that old school Nola establishment places try to play off of in lieu of putting out top-quality food.

ever had Cafe Adelaide? I was thinking they had the best lunch menu. I may try and grab lunch there Wednesday.
Nah never been. Not a big Brennan's fan outside of CP. Especially their overpriced over-hyped brunch menus. I can cook fricking eggs myself.

Yeah those stupid hipster kids challenging the status quo! With their foam and their molecular gastronomy. It's just a fad! You can't beat an old school shrimp cocktail and a petit filet with lump crab meat!!

Christalmighty, dude, you sound full of shite sometimes. Either that or you completely misunderstood the post. Most places will prepare something for kids (that's what was being discussed) or will try to accommodate a diner who has a special request as long as it doesn't frick up the kitchen.

Nothing wrong with the cuisine itself, I agree. But when restaurants are phoning it in and resting on their laurels, because they know they have a brand people will continue to support even in the face of bad food (hello, Antoine's) it's hard for me to support that facade.

Now you're just becoming a caricature of yourself.

I agree. What's your point. Antoine's is not that great (I never go there by choice, really)but you can still find something worthwhile there.
Galatoire's, on the other hand, does what it does very well, imo.

One thing I love about this city, as that there is a never ending list of restaurants to try.
So many choices.
I really need to try the oldies. I was going to do Galatoire's for my birthday, but this board convinced me of Mr. John's.

Yeah, that's pretty much non-existent in this thread outside of Gris saying that MAY accommodate to the children, but that she doesn't know of an actual kids menu. In fact, wasn't someone talking about their acute discernment of fine dining as a toddler earlier. I think I remember seeing "kid" and "palate" in the same sentence a little while ago.

Sure seems that way.

Galatoire's is always fun. I prefer it for lunch, actually.

Should reconsider, IMHO. Unless you're just a complete lover of steakhouses.

Beats me. I may have missed it. But glassman was in diapers when he had his first oysters en brochette, I believe.

Never tried it, always gets a lot of love.
If it's your birthday where would you go?
She better spend big for mine, because her's is going to be at Victoria and Albert's.

I consider Casamento's old New Orleans and I could eat there once a week and be deliriously happy. Every meal there inspires me to return.
Nap, just give Commander's a call. They might even make up special meals for the girls with a heads up.

he and Martini probably sat at the chef's table at Uglesich's as five year olds and split a plate of stuffed bell peppersPosted on 9/10/13 at 12:11 am to Napoleon

I've never had it either .. but you're right it gets a lot of praise as the best steakhouse in the city. I'm just not a big steakhouse fan in the first place. I did go to their sister restaurant Desi Vega's with my aunt and uncle and it was good. I just wouldn't spend that money myself or choose it as my #1 choice if someone was offering to pay.

I'd pick somewhere I haven't been, personally. For me it would be Clancy's or Brigsten's.

Never heard of the place. I'm assuming it's badass.
Sounds Canadian.

They personalize the menus to your taste and offer Kobe beef and Beluga caviar.

Ah I gotcha.
Again, couple things I'm just not that interested in. I think you and I just have very different food tastes.
