Fodor's Review:

Within the French Quarter Inn, this fine dining room has a sleek, contemporary style with lots of metal, glass, contemporary art, and fresh flowers. The menu has been purposely tailored to complement the decor: it's ultrachic, innovative, and always evolving. The banquettes that line the wall are sought after, so ask for one when you reserve. The young talent who has moved up to executive chef, Aaron Deal, has expanded the prix-fixe lunch, consisting of three courses from the dinner menu, for a mere $20—less than that chicken wings place down the block. Imagine sitting down to a lunch of baby beet salad, then lamb ribs with a chocolate barbecue sauce, and moving on to violet crème brûlée. After dark the prices escalate—it's a status place with a sophisticated bar scene. On Sunday there's a fab brunch with a jazz trio and residents of the Holy City reserve for after church.
