NOLA downtown dinner question
Posted on 5/18/26 at 1:44 pm

Heading to Grand Isle soon and stopping in NOLA for a night possibly. Most likely the Homewood on Poydras is where we will stay. Is there any place (hard for the Mrs to walk long distances right now) that’s pretty good and you’d recommend? No stranger to downtown but it’s been a while.
Have already hit the touristy stuff like Deanies, Pat O’s, etc. I personally like the bar and grill vibe. On our trip down last year we hit Cajun Mikes and it wasn’t good. Out of stuff, smelled like sewage, roach crawled across the bar…LOL. Maybe that was a 1 off…who knows.
Thanks all.

Luke is just a couple blocks away and it is very very good

Delacroix is fairly new and damned good. But can Mrs. Panda handle that walk?

Eh, if she brings her boot maybe (but she hates it). That would be an uber.
Appreciate it
I saw the Walk Ons place, but that looks similar to a BWW. I like hole in the wall places mainly.
Would love to find a spot where I could get some good oysters

Seaworthy is only a couple of blocks from him as well. Good spot if he's just looking to get oysters.

Delacroix just opened up on the river. That's 9 blocks for you.
ETA: Didn't see it was already mentioned.

Copper Vine. Great upscale bar are and covered outside deck. Great food and wine

Pedicab is an option

This baw ain't eating at Seaworthy

I dislike Drago's but that is much more this guy's vibe than the other places
Posted on 5/19/26 at 10:31 am to Trash_Panda
Gianna is great.

Leaning towards Luke. Will see once we get there.
Thanks again all.

Oysters at Luke are fantastic and they have a pretty varied menu otherwise. It’s a John Besh restaurant, but casual

Its much more upscale and hip for someone like yourself.
You've laid out your preferences in here, and Seaworthy would not fit that criteria at all.
Luke might be too nice for you as well. Drago's is definitely more your self-described wheel house
This is not a criticism, everyone likes what they like, you've made it very apparent you prefer hole in the wall type of places
