"This eclectic restaurant and bar located in the French Quarter’s W Hotel has always been about its stylish interior — a dark dining room outfitted with brass fixtures and lined with shelves of glass bottles lit by warm neon lights. The courtyard, however, can’t be beat — the piazza space was previously used for drinks and hotel guests only, but is now a dining area in its own right, complete with reservations available. SoBou’s patio, covered with heaters and string lights, is open for dinner Thursday through Monday." - Clair Lorell
