The only standout was the grilled shrimp, which were very good, but hardly worth the wait (about 45 minutes after 10 PM just to be seated). This restaurant suffers from poor management. Tables are not cleaned until 15 minutes after the patron leaves. At one point, we had five unoccupied tables in our area for about ten minutes, while customers waited in the foyer for the better part of an hour. There is little excuse for this sort of service in such a prime location. I suggest you dine early... elsewhere... less

I have eaten there on a number of occasions, and have only been slightly disappointed once. That problem stemmed from the waitstaff being slightly overworked by the large crowd. Our waiter seemed a bit confused... and frustrated. Fortunately, this is not the norm. Excellent cuisine... Be sure to try the cheesecake for desert... It really does establish a benchmark... less

It is, by no means, the typical mundane Mexican restaurant fare, ovrwrought with refried beans and dried rice. The wait staff is both prompt and attentive, and the food excellent. I would highly recommend the grilled steak and shrimp kabobs. The flavor is excellent and the portions are considerable. Bring a hearty appetite and enjoy... less
Sake Cafe	Metairie, LA
The food is superb, and the service is excellent. Although there are other good sushi restaurants in the New Orleans area, this is undoubtedly the best. For the most bang for your buck, catch their lunch specials. You will not be disappointed.
P.F. Chang's China Bistro	Metairie, LA
Wow! Just when I had lost all interest in Chinese cuisine, along comes Chang's. Buffets... Go Away! This should be a wake up call for those "cookie cutter buffet" Chinese restaurants.

This should be a wake up call for those "cookie cutter buffet" Chinese restaurants. This IS NOT like the rest... It is simply the BEST. We were properly served, well fed, never bored, and for a reasonable price. You can ask for no more. less

The food is impeccably seasoned and the service is friendly, yet excellent. The Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp is a real treat, as is the Pan Sautéed Pork Chop (12 ounces!). Beef lovers will delight with the Tournedos Lisboa (a uniquely finished 8 ounce filet). Just to wet your appetite, stop by Tuesday through Friday for one of the best daily lunch specials around. Wednesday's pork roast is seasoned to perfection as is the rolled steak on Thursday, both are served with a fresh salad and hot bread, and the luncheon specials are under $6. Try it for lunch and you'll undoubtedly return for dinner. Although, with the portions served, you may need to wait a day! less
Los Gallos	Coushatta, LA
This is truly one of the best Mexican restaurants to which I have ever been. It is not the fanciest, but the food and service are excellent.
Jimmy's Place	Convent, LA

For a light, but filling, lunch, try a super chef salad.

It is one of the few "seafood" restaurants to offer oysters on the half-shell, boiled seafood (depending on the season), and fried softshell crab in addition to the normal yawn of fried entrees (shrimp, oysters, and catfish). The seafood is fresh and seasoned "just right". The boiled crawfish are large and tasty, rather than "hot and salty" and the service is excellent. Fridays appear quite busy, but the family (all of whom work in the restaurant) rush about efficiently to keep things moving. Best of all, customers feel as if they're "dining with family", the New Orleans way! less
