"Originally opened in 1899, this classic French-Creole restaurant is run by the talented Alfred Singleton, serving an old-school menu for dinner and brunch, with classics like turtle soup, shrimp remoulade, and some of the best crab cakes in town. Host private events throughout the first and the second floor or dine with a group on the patio; if it’s a smaller party, be sure to try for a table on the intimate balcony." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
