The locals like Clancy’s.I’m a fan of GW Fins, but some people don’t like it. Great fish place.August is great.Domenica is great - especially after a late night.Doris Metropolitan gets great reviews.

Man, wish I had time for more meals. All these places look great.

My wife and I celebrated many anniversaries at Clancy's. Best crab meat salad in the world!
We also love The Bon Ton Cafe @ 401 Magazine st corner Poydras.
I'm not a fan of GW Fins.

I know somebody already mentioned it but one of the guys going with us loves crawfish so that’s a priority too if anybody had other suggestions for crawfish.

I rarely visit NOLA without going to either of The Toups restaurants. Toups Meatery or Toups South.

Commanders Palace! It's a little pricy and fancy but, the menu is great, the food is delicious, and the service is second to none. It is a dining experience that you will remember for many years!

I haven’t been there in over 5 years but Oceana use to have killer BBQ shrimp and chargrilled oysters smothered in a white cheese sauce. Both was simply incredible. The shrimp poboy was no joke either.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
Too many great restaurants for anyone to hit but I would make a run for Drago's and the chargrilled oysters. Often copied, never duplicated. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Anyway after libations and an EXCELLENT meal we stepped outside to wait for the doorman to hail a taxi back to the Hyatt. The wives saw the stone walls of the cemetery across the street and being naive gals they went running toward an entrance to go in! YES - weird as that sounds, but they did just the same! The armed doorman YELLED with a booming voice to "GET THE HELL BACK HERE NOW!" That scared the crap out of all 4 of us! He said something like "Ladies - that cemetery is NO PLACE to go at night".
After that for years until these friends both died we always used that "NOW" trailer to emphasize anything important!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time. -
@SGH - in the main, if in the city just get the chargrilled oysters. Oceana's and Drago's oyster eat-off my next trip. And an arm twist at @nolaegghead and his in-home restaurant.
Will have to work on that road-trip as it is long over-due. Thanks for the insights.

Their BBQ shrimp is excellent and I "discovered" truffle fries there. Now I make them all the time.

Can someone with local knowledge educate me as to why there seems to be no love for Antoine's or The Gumbo Shop?

Whenever I'm fortunate enough to get to N.O. I search out Pralines. Not sure who has the best but never had a bad one!I also agree with those mentioning Drago's. Casual, good food and reasonable prices.LBGE, LBGE-PTR, 22" Weber, Coleman 413GGreat Plains, USA

Foghorn said:Can someone with local knowledge educate me as to why there seems to be no love for Antoine's or The Gumbo Shop?Antoine's is fine. But like all the "Grand-dame" restaurants in Nola (Antoine's, Arnaud's*, Galatoire's**, and Broussard's), it's kind of stuffy and tired and a pain in the ass. The food is perfectly fine in a classical sort of way, but you absolutely know what you are going to get. And traditionally (this has changed somewhat with the amount of tourism, but remains for locals), it involves at the very minimum, putting on a jacket, dealing with going to the FQ, etc. So while nothing against Antoine's (et al), there are 100 other places I'd rather go.*Arnaud's has a jazz brunch that is still very popular with locals, but the rest applies**Galatoire's has a certain social aspect about it (particularly at lunch, especially on Friday) that differentiates it from the rest, but the notes about the food apply (in my opinion).As for the Gumbo Shop, it's probably perfectly fine. I can't remember if I've ever been. And while a local might happen to order gumbo while we're out, we all generally make it enough ourselves (and know what we like) that a restaurant destination with gumbo as it's main offering isn't really going to be on our radar.NOLA

@fishlessman From what remember you’re up near NH. If you’re ever cruising through Londonderry or Manchester, there’s a great pizza and sandwich shop called Harold Square. Less than a mile off 93. Killer muffuletta!

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I agree with you about the food at Antoine's. We enjoyed it mostly because there were 10 of us and we got a private dining room with a very knowledgeable waiter who told us the history of the place and after dinnere he gave us a tour of all the dining rooms and the wine cellar. The food was standard New Orleans excellent but it didn't stand out from the crowd.
What do locals think of the Carrollton St. places - like Boucherie or DTB?XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle
