eat new orleans, New Orleans, LA

After our "pleasant meal" at The Port of Call we took a long walk around the French Quarter. Alice and Megan were dress shopping (ho-hum). On the way back to the car we came across this great find: eat new orleans. Our previous 1/2 lb. burger and jumbo baked potato adventure loomed large. However, the charm of this, almost out of the way (Dumaine & Dauphine), dining room seduced us into coffee and dessert. The atmosphere is light and clean with soft colors and intelligent music. Out server was genuine, accommodating, and attentive.

We passed around a Creme Brulee and a Chocolate Cake. Both were absolutely incredible. The Creme Brulee was smooth and rich without being too sweet. The Chocolate Cake was "manly", by that I mean it's dense and robust with a fudge frosting. It definitely holds the plate down. It's not for sissies if you know what I mean, and by now I'm sure you do.

The menu is divided into three serving times: Day (tue-fri 11-2); Night (tue-sat 5:30 -10); and Brunch served Saturday and Sunday from 9 to 2. The palette of eclectic, wholesome, and vegetarian dishes has ensured our return with offerings like a Blue Cheese and Fig Torte, Lox and Bagel, Crawfish Pie, Butterbeans and Shrimp, Flatiron Steak, and Grits and Grillades. We can't wait to drop in and try those Big Easy Eats.
