If I could wave a magic wand and bring back two restaurants in NOLA
That would be a fun thread. If you could bring back two restaurants in NOLA, which two would you bring back and why?

So...Revolution was awesome. That has to be the most expensive wine list in NOLA though, even Emerils but a great selection.
The service was really what put them over the top, they went out of the way to cater to our every need. Offering to keep our leftovers in the fridge while we went to the show or even overnight among other things. I've never seen another NOLA restaurant try so hard without making you feel uncomfortable.
Got the Beer battered crab beignets, and fire roasted oysters for the table. Both were great.
Turtle soup with deviled eggs for my appetizer. Honestly, it was good but I didn't like this particularly recipe. I can't pin point why, but it was just a darker turtle soup then I like, whatever that means. Deviled eggs were solid though. Wish I had gotten the Death by gumbo, but didn't because of my entree.
Went with the Tryptich Quail which was recommended here and it did not disappoint. I couldn't finish it but it was great.
Other dish I enjoyed was the duck, it was a huge serving and prepared well.
The box of small chocolates/pastries at the end is a nice touch as well.
Will definitely put it on the annual rotation, but that wine list really makes it an expensive meal. Only bottle under a 100 I liked was the Girard Cab.

I went last night. We got there for 8pm reservations. They told us they may not accommodate our large party, even though we had a reservation. Restaurant was crowded. We had to sit at two different tables. It took 90 MINUTES to get our entrees. Service was average. We were told the manager will come by and explain the problem. They never showed up. The food was very good, but no food is worth waiting almost two hours for. The excuse was that the kitchen staff is new. Poor excuse for a fine dining restaurant.
For apps we had blue crab deviled eggs and crab fritters. Both were excellent
I had some lobster spinach pasta dish. It was ok, but for 30 bucks and a two hour wait...not a fan
I will not be returning until the kitchen and management get their act together.

Where?
Marti?
I would be pissed if they couldn't honor my reservation. Would have walked.

yes it was Marti. We were all not happy, but decided to suck it up and sit at two tables.The whole experience was underwhelming. Way too many great restaurants in the Quarter to choose from. Marti HAS to step it up or it will not last

On Rampart across from Armstrong park is Meaux Bar. We like it and have been more than once.
You ever been, R2R?

Brunings.... I want to cry when I think of never having another whole flounder there. Can never be replaced

I've heard good things about Meaux Bar, I believe the owners are from Vermilion Parish.

One of the owners has an uncle (or granddad) from Meaux.
Great little bistro for before the play.
