Would you eat at Shaker for dinner? Or a different meal. Deciding on our first meal tonight.. was thinking Adana, Stateside, and now Shaker sounds great!

Hi Drake- did you do Petite for dinner or lunch?

Too many good places to eat over 3 days.. Ha!

Trying to maybe switch a couple of my dinner places for lunch to fit more in.

After eating lunch at August would you reccomend it for dinner?

Hi Blumie,

I have been following your threads and they have been VERY useful to my reservation plans. I am travelling to NOLA May 12-15th and I have the following reso's:

Thursday night- August
Friday Night- Cochon
Saturday- Friend's 40th at Tableau? party of 18! couldn't get in anywhere else.
Sunday- Jazz brunch at Commanders Palace.

My question is; should I do lunch at August on Friday and Coquette Thursday night, I see you speak very highly of it.

Also, any other suggestions would be great. We are staying in the FQ & we are early 40's, and late 30's age group.

I have been making Ruth Chris Sweet potato casserole for years! It's fabulous.

Another winning recipe is Pioneer Woman's brussel sprouts with dried cranberries & balsamic glaze. Might try something new this year though.

Epicurious's Apple Cinn crumble is also a favorite
