Message: [QUOTE="Ernj, post: 2841924, member: 494"] I will start by saying I lived in New Orleans back in the day and worked in restaurants the entire time i was there. I wouldn't suggest going to the French Quarter during the day. Part of the ambiance is the neon lights and scene. You don't get that during the day. Commander's Palace is great. Very traditional, old-school service. Food is good. My go-tos when i go back to visit: Dick & Jenny's and Jaque Imo's (though i prefer D&Js).

Interesting twist - it is a Vietnamese/New Orleans fusion restaurant based off a pho concept but many more things than just pho. Gets great reviews -though i havent been back to NO since it opened so havent eaten there myself (other friends eat there on the regular and love it). [URL='https://www.mophonola.com/']Mopho[/URL] Acme is ok for oysters, though in the Quarter so busier and touristy. For oysters i would go to Pascal's Manale. It is uptown. I usually got my Po-Boys from Parasol's though Parkway is good also. I also went to R&O's a lot since i lived near there. Technically, it is Metairie but a block from the 7th St Canal which is the border of NO and Metairie. Its a whole in the wall and a little far out fromt he downtown area and on Lake Pontchartrain. Probably not a spot you want go to if only in NO for a few days though. If you want live music, the Maple Leaf is great. It is Uptown near Tulane. If you go on Tuesday night Rebirth Brass Band plays there. The Marigny is great for Jazz too. Want a burger - Port of Call (on Esplanande at the non-touristy end of the Quarter bordering the Marigny). One of the best no-frills burger i have ever had. Every time i go back to visit, I hit up Port of Call at least once. [/QUOTE]
