Restaurant recommendations (2016+ edition)

[jjazznj]

I also ate at Zasu for the first time last night, notwithstanding that I live very close, and although it's tough to judge based on a single visit, it may already have risen to be one of my Top 3 NOLA restaurants (Brigtsen's and Clancy's being the other two). The food was delicious, the service was great, and the setting casual and intimate in a way that I much prefer over the large-scale restaurants. There were lots of things I wanted to try, but I ordered the little gem salad, the sautéed red snapper (really delicious!), the ice cream of the day, and a really delicious glass of cabernet.

Thanks for the review, good to see ya and thanks to everyone who stopped by this year!

We're close on our favorites Blumie, I'm very big on Brigtsen's and Zasu as well, Gabrielle rounds out my top 3

I need to get back to Gabrielle; it's been a while. On Sunday night I went to the restaurant that I had always considered in my top 3. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't a top 3 experience.

BTW, I've also been to Atchafalaya twice in the last month and have really enjoyed it. It's high on my list as well.

Anyone eaten at Tableau yet?

Yes,, and I like it! The first time we went there about 4 years ago, I was very pleasantly surprised by the ambiance, food quality and service . Since it is right on Jackson Square, I kind of assumed it would be a tourist trap. Not so. And, I have been back 3 or 4 times since, including once last year during Fest, and I have never been disappointed. It is now one of my go to spots.

Eating at Clancy's friday night, excited as it's one of my favorites. Anyone eaten at Tableau yet?

I have reservations at Zazu for dinner on 5/1. Looking forward to it!

Don't plan on going to Mandina's, at least not today. A waiter was shot and killed there last night. Sounds like it was a hit job. A guest inside the restaurant was also hit but was not killed.

Wow. Had no idea till tonight that the woman celebrating her birthday party was Chicago beloved WXRT dj, Terri Hemmert. Huge New Orleans and Jazz Fest cheerleader. She comes every year with a huge Krewe. Brings it a little closer to home. Sweet home Chicago.

I like Mandina's very much. One of my "go to" places. I visit multiple times every time I return to New Orleans. I was counting on jjazznj to do a better job of policing the neighborhood. I detest having to "look over my shoulder".

I doubt I'll be living in this hood or this city for that matter all that much longer. I mean enough is enough.

Armed guard? Is that normal down there now? If I have to go to a restaurant that requires one…I think I need to eat some place else?♂️

Some places like Mandina's have had them for years. Nothing new.

[Marignygregg]

Yeah, this is sad. Women who was hit by stray bullet is from Chicago and in town for Jazz Fest. Still, random event. Wouldn't stop me from going to Mandinas. Sucked the perps are still on the loose.

Any thoughts on Annunciation restaurant?

It's always been on my list but it's never made it to the top.
