That's about as bad as those ads touting high fructose corn syrup as a health food.

Oooooh, we always went to Odyssey when it was in Lakeview. We loved it and followed it to Metairie Rd. I'm sorry it's gone. The original location is now Dixie Chicken and Ribs.

Note to self: Dress nicely when I go, look prosperous.

Thanks for the info. I found Mat and Naddie's pricey for dinner, but I loved the atmosphere (even the loud trains rolling by). I will definitely try this for lunch.

Jerry, thanks for the pics! I wish they would do something with the building (a restaurant preferably) so we could enjoy that view again.

Yeah, I wasn't very impressed the last couple of times I was there. Fairly pricey for the quality. I love the space and the view of the Park from the window (especially with the Christmas lights) is beautiful.

I'll probably do Bacco.

We received a nice gift Brennan family gift certificate which gives us the option of dining at Ralph's on the Park, Redfish Grill, or Bacco. I've been to Ralph's several times, Bacco maybe once, and Redfish Grill not at all. Which would you choose?
