Hi all! We are having our bridal luncheon at Commander's Palace, but we are trying to determine where the groom should have his luncheon. They definitely want something with lots of character and NO flair. Any ideas?
Sorry, I meant NO as in New Orleans. Acme would be great, but we're having our welcome party there that same night. We'll check out Crazy Johnnie' though. Thanks!
Are you looking more for something in Metairie or are you open to going into the French Quarter? You could check out the Napoleon House (has TONS of character and they make great drinks) or the Bourbon House in the Quarter. Crazy Johnnie's is delicious, too. It's my FI favorite restaurant in Fat City.
Jaques-Imo's would be awesome but I think they are only open for dinner. Could he do it as a dinner? (They have a lunch place but it's counter service - Crabby Jack's). There are some great steakhouses that would be fun for a guy's meal - I know The Rib Room has some really neat private rooms (in the wine cellars), Brennan's steakhouse, or Charlie's uptown - all have that 'guy' vibe. Not so much New Orleans flair I guess though. Maybe Mahoney's or another poboy place that has a bar?
Re: Groom's Luncheon
I don't really know what your description means.
Maybe Jacque-imo's might be a good bet.
