Re: new metairie restaurant

Re: Pre theater dining?

Cafe adelaide only has the special on the weekends. I was thinking of Meauxbar but really haven't heard anything one way or the other about it. Bacco is a consideration.

Pre theater dining?

I am going to the Mahalia Jackson to see The Color Purple on Thursday and was wondering if there were any pre-theater dinners being offered? Any recommendations for nearby places would be welcome. I may be behind the times, but did anything open in the old Peristyle location?

Re: Bacco lobster tasting?

We went to the surf and sparkle on Saturday night. It was a fun, extravagant feeling date night that we really enjoyed. I'd give the concept a 10 but the execution about 6.5. First course was a lobster bisque that was very good, the unceremonious dollop of marscapone truffle butter took it up anothe...
