Description
Richard Benz, formerly of Gautreau's, has mastered the 'new' New Orleans cuisine making this a dining hotspot. This casual spot with comfortable seating is a collaboration of home and contemporary styles. They complement each other nicely inside pumpkin colored walls adorned with hand-painted plates and vases of fresh flowers. The atmosphere is upscale casual. Start with the Pain Perdu ($6.50) or the fried oysters ($5.50). For dinner opt for one of its many choices of smoked whole fish, or go for the Pecan Crusted Gulf Fish ($17). Decadent delights for the sweet tooth include Coconut Mango Creme Brulee ($4.50), and the Tchoupitoulas Tcheesecake. A wine list of whites and reds are sold by the glass or by the bottle, with prices around $25 for a bottle or $6 a glass.
