Oceana Grill on Conti



People shite on it...constantly, but their chargrilled oysters were outstanding the last time I went.

I have no idea what the food it like there, but having seen the video on the Gordon Ramsey show, I could not eat there. I couldn't even keep watching the video because it was so nasty. It may be clean as a whistle now, but those visions are stamped into my head.


Degas, you could stop in at Arnaud's Remoulade for some Oysters Arnaud and a few other treats that are the same as in the restaurant, but in a casual setting.

Same with Antoine's Hermes Bar for a poboy or some other treats, plus libations, of course.

I don't see Antoine's Annex mentioned much, but it's convenient for a breakfast croissant. I like the caprese panini a lot. Should be especially good during tomato season.

K-Paul's is a good option and I recommend Emeril's, among some of the other suggestions you've gotten.

Yep....

Hermes Bar
GW Fins (can always sit at the bar if reservation isn't available)

chicken, what did you eat at Antoines?

Lester, I had the Oysters Bienville, followed by Roasted Chicken, and bread pudding. It was Saturday around 11:45am so place was relatively dead, but started to pick up as we finished.

Go get a burger at The Alibi. It's a bar but they have good bar food and it's only a block off of canal.

When GG first opened, we ordered the four course chefs recommendations paired with wines/beverages. He paired an appetizer with carbonated Sake; first I'd ever heard of Sparkling Sake, but it complimented the meal.

OP should know Verdi Marte is a tiny deli; get in and get out. when it's 2 am and you need to sober up, take back a po boy to hotel room. They are open all night.
