We went to Dante’s Kitchen on move-in weekend; that was the best place we’ve been to so far. Other places we’ve been on parents weekend and other assorted trips:

Atchafalaya (off magazine street) - like Dante’s kitchen but the food isn’t as good. It’s a small restaurant and the honky tonk piano player makes it deafening.

Maple Street Cafe – mix of Italian and middle eastern. Just OK but walking distance.

Babylon Cafe - also on Maple Street. Outstanding Middle Eastern. Much better than Lebanon’s

NOLA - not worth the money

Emeril’s Delmonico - much better than NOLA

Cochon – in the Arts District – where else would you go to try head cheese, pork belly and cracklins all in the same meal?

Casa Granada – on S. Carollton – a total sleeper. Nice outdoor dining, great sangria and fine tapas (including flaming cheese). Cheap too!
