New Orleans Cuisine ~ March 16th, 17th, and 18th

We traveled to New Orleans, LA this weekend, and ate at a wonderful variety of restaurants.  Rather than choose just one, Gina wrote up some quick tripadvisor.com reviews for some of the highlights.  Look for SunLovers731's reviews.  On Friday we arrived just after noon, and headed to Jax Square for lunch at Cafe Pontalba.  We saw some sights, and checked in to our hotel at the Omni Royal.  Dinner that evening was at NOLA.  This was nice as it was less than a block from our hotel.  Saturday morning took us to Cafe du Monde for beignets and coffee (part of our package with the hotel).  After walking around the French quarter, we settled in for lunch at Napoleon House.  There was a buzz in the air because this was St. Patrick's Day and a parade was coming.  We decided to take solace back in our hotel until dinner that night at Mr. B's Bistro.  If you do go to New Orleans, make reservations and eat here!  After dinner we skipped Bourbon St. and enjoyed a quiet evening back at the hotel.  Sunday Morning took us to a Jazz Brunch at Muriel's Jackson Square.  A highlight was the Jazz trio playing right next to our table.  Dinner that night was probably our least favorite of the weekend at Crescent City Brewhouse.  The food there was fine, but the kitchen seemed to lose our order, and it took over an hour to be served a burger!  Monday was the drive home, and just a quick bite at the Chick-fil-A drive thru!  It was a great trip, with great food, and certainly great fun.  Highlights were Mr. B's, Muriel's, and NOLA.  We may just have to take another trip to try all new great places to eat!
