Galatoire's??

y&j

Hi all   DH's birthday is next week, and I was thinking of taking him to Galatoire's.  Has anyone been?  I've heard the food is great, and we've never been there.  Our favorite is Commander's Palace, but we decided that once a month we want to try a different restaurant   He loves steak so I was also thinking Morton's Steakhouse (also never been).  But then again, if I go to a steakhouse...I want to order steak.  But being pregnant right now...the thought of meat makes me want to hurl!  I know it's his birthday not mine, but certain smells make me sick too, and I would like to be able to order something off the menu without making myself sick =(  So thoughts on Galatoire's or other suggestions?  TIA!

I've eaten at Galatoire's once and it was fabulous. My absolute favorite restaurant is Antoine's though. If you haven't been, you should try and go. The food is amazing (I liked it better than Galatoire's but they are both very good) and I love the little tour that your waiter will give you if you ask. It's just so much fun.

 I also love _Dick and Jenny's if you want to go uptown. They don't take reservations, which is a big pain, but the food is terrific. It is more casual than Galatoire's and Antoine's.
 

Have fun and congratulations on the baby!

i think january 9 would be a good birthday for your baby. it's the same as mine! so i hope you don't mind me wanting you to go a little bit longer...

Congrats on the Baby! So exciting.

Galatoire's is a great resturant so I would defintiely give it a try. Irene's Cuise in the FQ is also great (its italian). Or Tommy's in the warehouse district. It depends on what ya'll are in the mood for. Probably my favorite in the city is Clancy's uptown. I've also heard good things about bistro daisy on Magazine.
