How can I decide?

[sarashrugs]

My boyfriend and I arrive on Sat April 29 the in the afternoon. Where should we eat dinner? Restaurant August, K Paul's, or Upperline? On Sunday we are going to Jazzfest where I'm looking forward to eating more than anything, and afterwards meeting up with friends for dinner someplace. On Monday 5 of us are having dinner at Jacques Imo's. I think I want to go to the Napoleon House on Sunday for a muffaletta sandwich, but maybe I can get a good muffaletta at the fairgrounds and should go somewhere else for dinner and just have drinks at the Napoleon House. I love to eat but haven't got a lot of experience with fine dining and my boyfriend likes absolutely everything. We will be having lunch somewhere on Monday any suggestions? Galatoire's or Antoine's? How do I decide between those two places? Thank's for any ideas and suggestions, we won't be renting a car so unfortunately Longbranch is out.

a couple of other suggestions for Saturday night,

Lilette

or Alberta on Magazine

August-can't miss

Herbsaint (I ate there the other night and had what I consider one of the three finest meals that I have had since they let us back into town-the other two being one at the Longbranch and the other at my house). You'll dig it. I promise.

Upperline

Lillette

Brigsten's (it's great, but do not, under any circumstances, skip dessert-get the pecan pie and after you take the first stratospherically good bite, look at the ceiling and thank your lucky stars that I told you to order it no matter what-it's the best pecan pie on this or any other planet)

Watch the Offbeat for my food recs for the Jazz Festival. It should be out pretty shortly before you arrive for the fair.

It's going to be a great 10 days. The best ever. No doubt about it.

Tough choice. I love Upperline, but Herbsaint and August and K-Paul's are all excellent as well.

My humble suggestion, go to any of the fore mentioned places, eat and have fun, then ask the waitstaff where they recommend to have a drink or eat. They are more inclined to recommend local places, great food or great atmosphere , or both. Its just a more direct line to the end results.Especially Franks place(Brigtens') they are the best ambassadors for the local scene.

Longbranch or August.
