Birthday dinner decision made: neither Antoine’s or Tujague’s. I’m sure they’re both wonderful, but I read a bunch of customer reviews and kept seeing the same comments: “Establishment in decline. Not the place it used to be.”
Don’t get me wrong, there were good reviews too, but mostly mixed. So I decided to investigate my original idea, The Commander’s Palace. And found overwhelmingly positive reviews. Oh sure, there were a few bad ones, but far fewer than either Antoine’s or Tujague’s. And given the amount of money we’ll be spending, I figure best to be safe.
Besides, we shouldn’t spend ALL our time in the French Quarter — right?
