Re: Need suggestions

Well, if you really want very casual, this sounds like job for Deanie's in the Quarter. They have Andygator on draught (8% ABV), and the fried seafood is visually pretty impressive when they mound it up on po-boy bread or on those platters with french fries and onion rings. Just steer everybody away...

Marigny Brasserie Report

After too-many disappointments since Bingo Starr departed, we cautiously decided to try Marigny Brasserie again on news of a brand new chef - something this restaurant seems to acquire every couple of weeks.
