We both look for these type places,they usually have the best food and the friendliest people,from past adventures,the stranger places are some of the best!Thanks for the help!Chris

All of these Resturants are seafood/creole except DB steakhouse.

You most go to Petunias for breakfast. They have the best breakfast in NO. Do not be shocked by the waiters(or I should say waitress, if you know what I mean) but the food is unbelievable. Get there early though, there are only about 10 tables..
