Bridal Luncheon Suggestions-something different?

I'm trying to figure out a nice place for a bridal luncheon, about 10-15 people for a Saturday afternoon. Nothing extravagant, but I would like to find some place cute and fun. I have thought about the old mainstays like Court of Two Sisters and Brennan's, but I wanted to try something different.
Any suggestions would be great!

    Martinique Bistro has a gorgeous courtyard that would be so pretty for a bridesmaid's luncheon.  

    Also, Cafe Grenada does tapas and Spanish style food.  It's service can be a bit spotty (sometimes they don't seem to have enough waitresses) so I would make sure to call ahead to make sure that there is a waitress on hand to just handle your group.  But their food is excellent, the decor is fun and cozy, and the prices are really reasonable.

    There's a place on the far edge of the Marigny called Feelings Cafe.  It has a lovely courtyard/patio and the food is really yummy!

    Ralph's on the Park (it's a Brennan's restaurant), right off of City Park...or try Longue Vue House and Gardens for something different and stunning!  They're in Old Metairie and they told me they'd do a tea or bridal luncheon!!!  Happy Hunting!

    I'm not sure how far you are willing to travel, but the Houmas House plantation is beautiful and has fantastic food.  We are having my bridesmaid's luncheon here, and they have been wonderful so far (quick to answer e-mails, always very pleasant).  They offer a tour of the plantation as well as dining inside the plantation or outside near the gazebo.  Hope this helps!


    I know someone that did the Yacht Club, and they enjoyed that as well.  Hope you can find something fun and different :)

    Check out Riverfront Restaurant on Decatur st (formerly known as Primo's restaurant). They have two stunning rooms upstairs with open balconies with fantastic views of the river. Plus. the prices are FAR more reasonable than the Court of Two Sisters and Brennans. We are having our rehearsal dinner in their wine room!

    I'm using the upstairs area for a private Saturday brunch at Cafe Atchafalaya.  They seem very accommodating and are just letting us order off the menu.
