"Once the 18th century home to Jean Baptiste Destrehan, Muriel’s now offers an intimate series of Victorian dining rooms and bars, including the the decadent Séance Lounge, rumored to be quite haunted. Regional favorites abound, from crawfish and shrimp etouffee to pecan-crusted puppy drum fish and wood-grilled barbecue shrimp. Check out the intimate veranda and the balcony overlooking Jackson Square." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
