Tasting menus with supplemental charges are infuriating. Kingsway does it. Emeril’s does it. Many of them do. I can understand if the supplement is add shaved alba truffle $60. But if only have two options for a course and one is a supplement GTFO. My only complaint with emeril’s and the like. Just charge everyone $15 more or whatever to make it work.
Emeril’s deserved and earned 2. I think more places in New Orleans deserved one, based on criteria, but expect those numbers to grow over the years. That way Michelin can say “we helped elevate food in the American south.” Clever marketing.
Commanders and maybe another Brennan’s places being left off the recommended is weird but don’t think any of them are star level.
PS the trout amandine at Emeril’s is incredible. Believe they use a rainbow trout tho.
Did you walk out of there feeling relatively full? 'Cause not all tasting menus seem to provide that, even when spending that kinda scratch.

Looking forward to it. Not looking forward to the cost though.
I'm on the fence about trying it, but one thing that stands out is that the main courses section of the menu gives you an A or B option, but option B is a supplemental cost every single time.
If you do go the standard $225 route, please do let us know what you think, 'cause there's some pretty traditional dishes in there, a la boudin, trout, etc...

Can you tell me how loud it is in there these days? Thinking about going there for my birthday, but I don't think I've eaten there in like ten years!

These two girls are listening to 90% of that list without a doubt.
And Kreator is part of the 10% without a doubt.
I'd go so far as to say no one registered on this website listened to them in 1986.

I stayed at The Colonnade in Back Bay, and you get pretty darn spoiled with the T literally being right outside the door.
Back Bay in general is very quiet and nice, so if that's what you're after, it would certainly hit the spot.

I personally don't like Compere Lapin. The flavor profiles they have just seem messy to me. A lot of the stuff I have had seems adventurous on paper; but doesn't end up that way.
Definitely one of the most over-hyped places I've ever been to in New Orleans...was it bad? Absolutely not. Was it memorable? Absolutely not.

And if you order a catfish poboy, they tell you it is swai and ask you if that's OK. Frozen asian farm raised.
If I go to Radosta's, will they serve me a genuine catfish po-boy, etc.??

Been a long time since I've been, probably 5 years, but I always enjoyed the heck out of the rack o' lamb they served up.

Would be a good spot, but fair warning there is a running event for Global Running Day being hosted there today at 6:00pm. Could be busy.
Thanks - hopefully I can get there around 5 to avoid that stuff.

Brewery Saint X would work too. Been twice and the food has been excellent (actually going before a concert on Saturday as well).
Thanx, that one looks good and uncomplicated. :cheers:
