this is one that i was anxious to try... the place is gorgeous inside, with no detail spared in capturing the look and feel of new orleans. i particularly love the upper level, with open viewing of the main dining room and bar below. it has its own small bar, and plenty of additional seating, upstairs. unfortunately, the food is not living up to the atmosphere. that seems to be the general consensus, from what i've heard, and it was certainly true during our first trip here.
