• Highlite of New Orleans experience! Must have oysters rockefeller and their wonderful potatoes..seafood and steaks are beyond belief..service is very special. Tip: don't sit in the front dining room if at all possible, the other rooms are worth the wait! Wine list is excellent.

• Antoine's is by far one of the most memorable fine dining experiences in the country. I have visited Antoines on numerous occasions, and each time I had excellent food quality, consistant service, and special treatment by their entire staff. They deserve your most highest rating. I have frequented other restaurants you have rated higher, however, Antoine's outshines them all, as far as I'm concerned. A Native New Orleanian

• Tho' I've never been fortunate enough to visit you, I've read about the fine cusine found at Antoine's in books by Edna Ferber and Frances Parkinson Keyes. Am very glad to know you are still there.

• My dad was a salesman who had eaten at Antoines in the `good old days`. On a trip to New Orleans we were taken out to dinner and our hosts apparently wanted to impress. The place is classic Orleans, gold and lamps, etc. The staff was a little confused at first but finally we were seated and ordered the `dinner of the night`. A salad composed of lettuce leaves (I kid you not) and some passable vinigrette started the ball rolling. It was similar to items from a middle school cookout. The beef (I had a steak) was served luke warm (not hot) and came with a smallish baked potato accompanied by an ultra-tiny lump of chopped veggies. Bread was perfunctionary. The desserts - allegedly the height of the meal - were an unmitigate disaster...the custard was dry, the servings miniscule, the ice cream was almost embarrassingly bare. I saw the cost of wine and for our friend's sake said I preferred water to drink. All in all, an utter disappointment in both expectations and experience.

• Fine food in romantic surroundings with impeccable service. Expensive, but well worth the cost. Extensive wine list. Magnificent sauces. I've heard people complain that Antoine's is not what it once was but I disagree. The last time I went it was as good as it ever was. The Oysters Ellis, Oysters Rockefeller, Crawfish Cardinal and Crabmeat Ravigote were all divine appetizers. The soft shelled crabs, Pompano Pontchartrain, poulet Rochambeau, tournedos with Bearnaise and Marchand de Vin sauces, green salads and the souffleed potatoes were superb. The wines (suggested by our wonderful waiter) perfectly accompanied the dishes. We were too full to have anything but ice cream with chocolate sauce and coffee for dessert but that, too, was sublime. I plan to go back there every chance I get.

• Oldest restaurant in the US, 177 years and still the original family. Kinda pricy but the food is great and worth it for the history. Make sure to check out the wine cellar.

• This place needs some help. For being the oldest restaurant in America, it should be perfect. Instead we had cold, over-priced food, food that didn't come out a drunk waiter. C-

• Baked Alaska made me want to curl up in a ball and cry for my mommy. Oddly enough, that was a good thing. Get it! Also, Charlie is a top notch server.

• Café Brulot Is the epitome of this restuarants old-world, over-the-top grandeur. A server ladels flmaing brandy-spiked coffee down a spiral of orange zest into a silver bowl heated by a ring of fire.
