Double Musky Inn

The ski-bum-casual atmosphere and rambling, cluttered dining room among the trees match the wonderful Cajun and New Orleans food in a way that couldn't have been contrived -- it's at once too improbable and too authentic. Service is relaxed to a fault, and food takes a long time to arrive, but when it does, every dish is flawless. I love the jambalaya, and the steaks are famous (by which I mean really famous -- Food Network chose this as one of the 10 best restaurants in America). On my most recent visit, with two couples, each item on our plates, from appetizers through dessert, was remarkable; since I love talking about the food over dinner, I love this place. The Double Musky isn't to everyone's taste, however; your senses can feel raw after the extreme noise, highly spiced food, and crowds, and parking can be difficult. Loud groups will enjoy it more than couples, and families don't really fit. Since the restaurant doesn't take reservations, here's an important tip: Grab seats in the bar and start your meal there with appetizers and drinks rather than simply waiting for your table.
