I prefer the Apalachicolas myself.
I second the burger at Port of Call. And the drinks too!

Not a drink for newbies I didn't ask why, but was told that all that were available in NOLA that weekend were Apalachicola oysters, Of course some places had a variety of NW. coast oysters as well, but we weren't there on an oyster quest, we had just returned from Seattle......
Heading down a week from Friday for our (roughly) annual weekend trip. They're having a city-wide food event in August that has a lot of restaurants offering prix-fixe menus, including Commander's Palace. Now we have to decide whether to do that or stick with our usual Sunday brunch there. Hmmm...Looking forward to trying Mahony's at long last!
Anyone ever been to Deanie's Seafood? Original location in Metarie, but they have a Quarter spot as well. Looks promising, as NOLA-style seafood shacks go. Saw them profiled on Man vs. Food and it was quite temping. Barbecue shrimp is my wife's ne plus ultra, so she's eager to try theirs (Mr. B's being the benchmark). And plenty on the menu calling my name as well.http://www.deanies.com/EDIT: Guess I should have done a closer reading of Mike's trip report above.
. . .Brunch at the Court of Two Sisters on Sunday. This was a great meal. So many choices, including eggs benedict, pancakes, roast beef, pickled herring in cream, salmon mousse. . . Not cheap, but definitely worth it. The Scientist really liked his turtle soup, which was the soup of the day, but I thought it tasted like dirt, because I always think turtle tastes like dirt. I also had a milk punch, which was super yummy and a great way to start the day.. . .
Going in Dec. (Delta sale $35 - ends today 10/20) got good suggestions so far but interested in crawfish in french quarter.
