I posted this last week with no replies, hope someone can help. Due to time restraints, I must choose between a dinner at either Peristyle or Bayona. Which one would you choose and why? Thanks in advance.

Try your question at chowhound.com. Lot's of interesting posts there.
Personally my favorite restaurant on my last visit was a relatively new place named 'Stella!' Nice ambience and fantastic food. I enjoyed it even more than Bayona.

You really can't go wrong with either Bayona or Peristyle. If I HAD to choose, Bayona would probably win out although I'd be perfectly happy with either. (I don't believe Peristyle will accept bookings for more than 6 weeks or so in advance)

I agree with John - either place is good. I believe that Bayona has a more limited menu selection than Peristyle, but I haven't eaten at either place very recently - so I'm not 100% sure on that. I like the atmosphere at Bayona better than Peristyle.

Zagats lists Bayona as it's number 3 rated restaurant in New Orleans. As you may know it is based on a survey, so it is the opinion of many people who have eaten there. Commanders is number 1. Peristyle was not in the top 10.

Peristyle does not have any ratings in Zagats because of a fire closed the place temporarily a couple of years ago. FYI. It takes Zagats a year or two to catch up.
