Emeril's Restaurants in New Orleans: NOLA or Delmonico??
 

Any thoughts on which is the superior restaurant?

neither. both are overpriced and overrated.

loved nola...ate there twice, dinner and then lunch, welltrained staff and wonderful food

We ate at Delmonico's early this July. A group of seven had the tasting menu. $58.00 per person and everyone at the table had to order the same. With drinks and tip my meal ran around $90.

Food was good, the restaurant is nothing fancy at all. In fact, in order to get to our table we walked through a nondescript kitchen! I had my first and second mint juleps there and they were very tasty, and got more tasty as I finished them. Lots of waiters and the service was very good. I would only go back on occasions where people want to try an Emeril's establishment.

We also ate at K-Paul's (Prudomme) Restaurant and Brigtsen's. I would recommend Brigtsen's the highest and then DelMonico's and finally K-Paul's.

I like both but don't think they are the top restaurants in the city. If I had to choose, I'd probably pick NOLA. It is expensive, though. Last time my girlfriend and I had dinner there it was $175 for entrees, appetizers and wine.
