re: Restaurants where you have never had a bad meal

I love your list...except for Mosca’s. It’s a RAGING overpriced disappointment now. Unfortunately, my family still insists on going there due to wistful palate syndrome. Last visit, I paid over $25 for the driest chicken I’ve ever eaten in my life.

re: Best NOLA Sunday brunch bottomless mimosas?
Posted by nikinik on 6/27/16 at 6:00 pm
Ruby Slipper is good, but the mimosas aren't bottomless and will run you into the poor house if you want to drink.
Bottomless mimoas:
Katie's
Country Club
Apolline
Warehouse Grille
Broussard's
Cafe Sbisa

re: Birthday dinner tomorrow night La Boca, Cavan, or Kenton's

La Boca. I didn't care for Cavan. Great atmosphere, and the drinks were good, but the food just fell short.

I love this place, and always suggest it to out of town guests. It doesn't seem to get much love on this site...but I think that's more a case of people jumping on the bandwagon, vs reporting on actual experiences.
Hopefully, now that you've given such a great review, folks will give it a try.
P.S. You get $5 off of your admission to Rock and Bowl with the purchase of an entree from YOCI.

re: Anyone have the ION tailgate speaker?
Posted by nikinik on 3/11/16 at 12:43 pm
I have an Ion BlockRocker, and I love it. It will run for 100 hours off of a charge, and I love how I can charge my phone. It's perfect for camping, the beach, crawfish boils, parades, etc.
re: Boiling snow crab. How long?????
Posted by nikinik on 3/2/16 at 12:35 pm
Don't boil! Steam.
If you don't have a steamer basket, no worries.
Get a big soup pot. Crumple foil into several baseball sized balls and put into bottom of the pot. Add water till it's almost to the top of the foil balls, but not over the top. Add garlic, lemon, a beer.
Put crabs into pot and cover. Bring to a boil and let boil for about 7-9 minutes.

re: Coquette to start "no menu" Tuesdays again....
Posted by nikinik on 1/25/16 at 12:30 pm
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Coquette. I couldn't have been more disappointed in my "No Menu Tuesday" experience last year. It was not good at all, and certainly not worth the $45.

As far the table comment, make sure you tell the management. It just opened and those are the things you can't be sure of until you have actual customers in house.
My friend is a manager, so I do plan to tell her about it. When she walked up and saw where we had been seated, she offered to move us immediately. But we had just been seated, so we didn't yet realize how much the table sucked.

I've never had Texas de Brazil in Baton Rouge, so I can't make a comparison.
I did try TdB when it was in New Orleans for a very short time.
Fogo is a prettier and classier atmosphere, and the food is way better.

I went last Wednesday. It was absolutely delicious, and the service was great as well.
We stuck strictly to beef and lamb. We had a few bites off of the market table (loved the basil dressing), but saved our stomach space.
Our favorites were the filet mignon, garlic beef, and of course the picanha. The lamb chops were awesome as well, though I had to get served three times before I finally got some that were medium rare.
My only complaint is that we felt that the tables were too close together. What also contributed to our feelings on this is that we were seated right next to the server station and the POS system, so we had servers standing right next to our table the entire night. There was zero opportunity to have any kind of personal conversation. They should space out the tables more, and completely remove the two top in the middle of the floor next to the stations.
