I have a massive work project that finishes up on June 9th. I plan on Bam taking me out to a nice dinner that night with lots of wine. I'm trying to decide where to go. On our list are many great places...but help me decide...or suggest another:
The short list:
Bistro Daisy
La Foret
Meson 923
Chateau du Lac (though I won't want to drive to back to Metairie)
The restaurant List.

The restaurant List.

Re: The restaurant List.
I vote for Le Foret. I've heard so much good stuff from so many reputable sources it's almost unbelievable!
Re: The restaurant List.
Probably not that night, but some night please try La Famiglia on Oaklawn just off Veterans in Metairie. The space is beautiful and the food is wonderful. T. J. Qutob prepares braciole and osso bucco to perfection. Even the corpulent one likes it http://www.nomenu.com/diary/DD100909.html

Re: The restaurant List.
I've enjoyed Le Foret's tasting menu. Valet parking as well. I was not impressed with Bistro Daisy. The changing menu is small and the options were not anything I would have normanlly chosen (albeit well prepared). I've not been to the other two.
Re: The restaurant List.
I have not been to La Foret, however, I have heard great things about the food, and terrible things about the service. Perhaps things have improved.
Bistro Daisy is amazing. The menu is not at all limited. They have 5-7 options for entrees, apps, and deserts.
I had grilled sweetbreads with lemon supremes, fried capers and toasted pinenuts in a browned butter as an appetizer, DC had the "Daisy salad" of fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, arugula,and pumpkin seeds with white balsamic vinaigrette. We both had tomato and mint braised lamb shank over saute of gnocchi, spinach and Nicoise olives with tomato-mint reduction as our main courses, and then split Chevre "cheesecake" and hazelnut crisp Napoleon with port syrup and sun dried cherries, and strawberry baked Alaska with pistachio cake and Champagne crème Anglaise.
It was a fabulous meal.
