They are New Orleans establishments!ratcheese wrote:Except for the original Brennan's and Commander's Palace, he could do a wholesale drive-by on the entire Brennan Chain imo--make it a two hour Ramsay/Brennnan extravaganza...
It's almost 5 years post-K so no one should have any excuses. (For sake of argument, think pre-oil leak. Damn,getting depressed just writing this!)
So it HAS been tough, no doubt. But which restaurants, new and old, get a passing grade, and which should go back to the drawing board (in the case of new restaurants) or, step aside like Deuce McAllister and be happy with what they've done for the city?
I'll start and say Acme Oyster House. I will go as far to say this (even the non-FQ locations) is a typical tourist joint. Mediocre food and bad service saved by a favorite dish: an oyster on the half shell.
