Bon Ton Prime Rib in New Orleans has long been a destination for aficionados of its namesake dish, but to define it by a single cut of meat would be to miss the broader, more exquisite culinary symphony taking place within its walls. So impressed were we by the our first dining experience, that a return visit was mandated just two days later—a true vote of confidence in a restaurant that proved its excellence to be no fluke.
Our experience began with a remarkable Beef Tallow Old Fashioned. This libation was not just a drink but a statement—a bold, savory concoction that was both inventive and flawlessly executed. The beef tallow infusion delivered a profound, bursting richness that played off the classic cocktail's notes of bitters and citrus, creating a complex and memorable aperitif. It was, quite simply, poured to perfection.
This remarkable start was made all the more enjoyable by our server, Bradly, whose attentive and knowledgeable presence set the tone for the entire meal.
For the main event, I veered from the traditional prime rib and was handsomely rewarded with the 12oz Bon Ton Cajun Steak. This choice was a revelation. Cooked to an impeccable medium-rare, the steak was a tender, juicy canvas for a masterful blend of Cajun spices. The flavors were outstanding—a powerful yet balanced melody of heat and earthiness that filled the palate with every bite. The precision of the cooking, a testament to the kitchen's skill, ensured the steak was at its absolute peak.
The supporting cast of sides was equally a hit, proving that no detail is too small at Bon Ton. The puffed corn casserole was a treat in itself; a cloud-like texture gave way to a sweet, delicate flavor that was both comforting and sophisticated.
The Brussels sprouts, a dish that can often be overlooked, were another splendid highlight, prepared with a tender-crispness and a depth of sweet flavor that made them utterly irresistible. Throughout this culinary tour de force, Bradly remained a constant, attentive guide, anticipating our needs and ensuring the seamless flow of the evening.
Our prompt return just two nights later confirmed that this was not a single, fortunate performance, but a consistent commitment to excellence. The combination of culinary skill and the exemplary hospitality provided by Bradly makes this a destination worthy of the highest praise. It is a place where you don't just eat; you experience — and you will undoubtedly find yourself planning your return before the meal is even
