PRICE:
Frommer's Highly Recommended

A sweet little neighborhood restaurant, but one that is a bit more expensive than it seems to warrant, and so our reluctance to give it more than one star. Otherwise, we like this place a great deal, and unhesitatingly recommend it for a lower-intensity New Orleans meal. The menu matches the place itself, small but warm, and everything is lovingly and meticulously executed. Expect pretty, thoughtfully made salads and perfect creamy pâté, plus generously portioned plates of spot-on, rosy-centered rack of lamb (with a cardamom demi-glace), plump scallops, and a not overwhelmingly rich seafood (shrimp, lump crabmeat) pasta (house-made, and topped with tomatoes and capers). Because the reach of some local places exceeds their grasp, it's a relief to have a place that, while not precisely setting any culinary houses on fire, accomplishes exactly what you wish with what it does do.
