144 Bourbon St., New Orleans, USA

Perched on one of the French Quarter's busiest corners, this is Dickie Brennan's biggest and flashiest restaurant yet, (he also owns Palace Café and Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse) and it's a solid hit with seafood aficionados. If it weren't for the noisy adjacent sports bar, the raw bar would be prime real estate, with its sterling oysters on the half shell, chilled seafood platters, and antique, decorative oyster plates. Glistening beneath the golden glow of bulbous hanging lamps, the main dining room is a more appropriate place for digging into the Creole catalog -- stuffed crab, oysters Bienville, gulf fish amandine. Take your frozen bourbon-milk punch in a go-cup, because you can. AE, D, DC, MC, V.
