"Saint John is an acclaimed contemporary Creole restaurant by chef Eric Cook, originally located in the French Quarter and now reopening in the Central Business District at 715 St. Charles Avenue. The new location features a modern space with two bar areas and a spacious dining room. The menu includes signature dishes such as Oysters Saint John, Creole beef daube, baked macaroni pie with red gravy, slow-braised smothered turkey necks, and a roasted garlic Caesar. The reopening follows a previous closure due to staffing shortages, lease rates, and a power bill dispute. The new location is expected to open this fall." - Clair Lorell
