...i wasn't too excited about it...for me there was too much going on....too many flavors and textures..if i'm going to shell out this many bucks...hmmm...maybe Arnaud's (hmmmm...Brabant or Souffle potatoes w/ Bernaise sauce)

I've used this board as well for good current advice about food in New Orleans (and other places.) http://www.chowhound.com/boards/9
I've used this one too. I know some people that are big fans of Tom Fitzmorris, but there is some good info on this site.

I have eaten there, it was nice, but I think overly ambitious. It's sort of asian fusion with local ingredients. I think the chef is a big Iron Chef fan or maybe a former contestant? I remember the Kobe beef was good, and the desserts were funky. I preferred Cuvee. You can check out the menu on line. It's in the Hotel Provincial, which looks REALLY nice.

I love Iron Chef - I've seen the chef from August on there before, but don't remember this guy.
Sounds good - I travel in Asia & I like Asian fusion. I may have to try this...

I’ll start out w/ - Wild Hedgehog and Blue Foot Mushroom Risotto with Italian Pancetta, Local Scallions and White Truffle Oil (Never had hedgehog before! - kidding!)
For the main course I think I’ll go w/ the Honey-Braised Australian Lamb Shank with Apple Wood Smoked Bacon and Scallion Whipped Potatoes and Heirloom Root Vegetables (big lamb fan):D
Polish it off w/ the Huckleberry Cobbler with Sage Streusel and Sage Ice Cream
