Acadiana

Frommer's Review

This glass-walled triangle-shaped restaurant lies close to the convention center, which might interest you if you're in need of a Sazerac or mint julep pick-me-up in the middle of your meetings, especially since the bar stays open straight through from lunch to dinner and offers a menu of appetizers. The restaurant's high ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and oversized urns and other features fit with the over-the-top atmosphere that prevails. This is New Orleans central, right here, and New Orleanians say the cuisine's the real thing, starting with the biscuits, served with a pepper jelly and cream cheese condiment; continuing on to deviled eggs, charbroiled oysters, and crabmeat and artichoke gratin starters; and even further to jambalaya, étouffée, red snapper in an almondine sauce, and barbecue shrimp. Service is excellent.
