Drago's

[texasyokel]

Their charcoal broiled oysters are the best food in the world. Looks like they opened in the Hilton. Anybody have any information? Hate finding parking over there and the drive back from Metairie with that crazy freeway entrance.

Hi. Oops I meant parking and driving back from Metairie , that turn onto Lakefront Pkwy or whatever is real hard to find.

[Lostcajun]

yes, Drago's is in the Hilton. If you're anywhere near CBD or FQ by all means go there. If you are near Metry go that location? Am I confused?!?!?

[Lostcajun]

Actually, I am confused, but am I making sense?

[Michelino]

But is the Hilton version as good as the original? Or even close...I think what we are looking for is a report or review. Or just a few samples of those wonderful ersters.

Lunchtime here and it is still winter....Jazz Fest Please...Come get me now.

[texasyokel]

Yes I understand my post was confusing. I visit and stay in the CBD or the Quarter. Yes what Michelino said.

[Lostcajun]

I've only been to the one in Metry, and it IS WONDERFUL!!! So, I guess other than knowing Drago's exists in the Hilton, n-e-v-e-r-m-i-n-d....but I have to say, how could it be less that great food wise????

Yes, FEST come quickly and linger.........

Yes barb thanks, use the internet. It's bad form to answer your own question I suppose but I'm addicted to the chowhound board too so:

We'll expect a full report!!!

The Drago's in the Hilton is just as good as the one in Metairie. There are a few other restaurants around the city offering chargrilled oysters but they are not even in the same league!

its best to use a different signon for each personallity. then you can have whole threads between yourselves. right now the nice me is not speaking to the mean me, but the funny me is all over the place. :D

Drago's is on my must do this year. i've heard/read so much about it, but have never been. and the Metaire location is only a few blocks from our hotel.

if i was in the 1/4, i would try that location. i would expect the food to be comparable. the wait for a table might be longer during fest.

Barb, you crack me up too. Or ..... are you all of the people on this board and we are just figments of your imagination?

[pokerchick66]

This looks like a good restaurant and I think I want to go.


And I am proud to be a figment of Barb's imagination.

[chicagomike]

Dragos kicks some serious ass. My friend Rosie took me there and I have been hooked ever since.

[rosetree]

For those of you coming in for the FQF, Dragos usually has a booth set up in front of the Mint....
