Antoine’s is hard to beat. Went recently and it was excellent.

Brennan’s on Royal street


Over the years it has been my favorite. But they did take my favorite dinner dish off the menu, it was a veal dish that I think was called Veal 417 from the fact they are at 417 Royal.

I ate recently there in one of the private rooms and was very disappointed. Had people from out of town too that had never been to NOLA. They were confused what all the hubbub was about.

If I moved away for awhile, then came back, I’d go to:

Liuzza’s
Mandina’s
Manale’s
Venezia’s
Deanie’s

What was the other place up Decatur that had seating upstairs.

I wanna say it was Marcelo’s but not sure if that’s right.

Clearly you have a different definition of ‘old school’

Galatoire;s is #1 for me. The quintessential New Orleans restaurant.

Just left Mandina's a few minutes ago. The food was delicious and we didn't get shot. A win-win I'd say.

I enjoy going here for the atmosphere and all the old school stuff on the walls. Reminds me of what New Orleans used to be.
