Israeli Restaurant · Audubon · 10 tips and reviews
C S: Delicious, up-market middle-eastern restaurant. Brussel sprout hummus and arugula salad were delicious for brunch. Cocktails and house sodas also great. Try the pineapple eucalyptus soda.
Jasmine D: Best damn hummus (the Brussels sprout one) and falafel I’ve ever had. Ever.
Kathryn D: Best spot in the city and vegetarian options steal the show. The poblano hummus is the best.

Cocktail Bar · Central City - Garden · 40 tips and reviews
Abigail R: Sit at the bar, or outside. Order the oysters (dynamite). Raw fish, crostini, and arugula mint and feta are great pre-dinner snacks. Then go have dinner next door at lilette.
cj fitzgerald: Chic uptown tavern serving excellent craft cocktails in a cozy atmosphere with delicious small plates. One cannot pass up the fried green beans!
Epicurious: The simple food is deceptively attention-grabbing: seared, garlicky beef short ribs; oozy Gouda beignets; burrata dressed with truffle oil and fleur de sel over crunchy bruschetta. Read more.

Eliza Carll: Pineapple Ginger Limeade is amazing!
Eric Justusson: Williamsburg head would explode from jealousy if it saw how perfectly hip, ironic, artsy, and healthy this place is. In a good way. Love it.

Cajun and Creole Restaurant · Lower Garden District · 114 tips and reviews
Amy Cercone: Try the Arugula, radicchio and endive salad
Ivette Torres: Try the Peach Bruschetta & the Andouille Crusted Rainbow Trout. My husband had the Buffalo Chappapeela Duck Wings, the arugula salad & the fish of the day (swordfish). Everything was delicious!
Sam Elliott: Delicious pork chop, *perfectly* cooked. Lots of great char. Tender, juicy, not in the least dry. Really impressed at our meal here, tbh. Emeril could easily have chosen to coast on his rep.

Cultivora: If you want for a meal with a major wow factor, this is the place to get it. Try the Louisiana Crab, the Arugula Salad, and the Gnocchi.
Dave Sawyer: Pair the chocolate malted mousse dessert with the Old Rasputin Imperial Stout. Nicely complimenting dessert / beer pairing.
Nick L: This is a good place to go if you can't get a res at dorsia.

Stephanie: The Smoked Salmon Smorrebro on Challah bread with a side arugula salad w/ fresh dill and cherry tomatoes was just perfect. Sit outside if you can, the courtyard is adorable!
Ian Ker-Seymer: the food is superb, the atmosphere is delightful, and the key line pie is a must! A+!
Lisa McKinnon: Be sure to check out the vintage erotic art in the upstairs bathroom

max L: Triple tail and duck confit are amazing
TripExpert: A tip from one of our professional reviewers, Fodors: "At Gautreau's, even the simple roasted chicken satisfies, and everyone should indulge in the caramelized banana split at least once." Read more.
Cheryn Robles: Roasted corn soup with lump crab was an amazing first course, gnudi and red snapper entrees were fresh and flavorful but the rhubarb tart won the evening competition.
