Anniversary weekend, and we typically stay in the quarter/uptown to celebrate.....ate our asses off:
Friday: Lunch @ Cafe Rani on Mag, Dinner @ Stella
Saturday: Lunch @ Nola, dinner @ Ugly Dog (was there for a private party)
Sunday: Brunch @ Ruby Slipper
Cafe Rani
Solid place as always, had the sushimi (sp?) tuna as app, and then the oriental salad
Stella
Good food, though I thought it was a tad pricey.....got the Lobster Risotta app, and had the Duck 5 ways....wife had the beef tenderloin.....dessert was excellent - Bananas Foster French Toast with vanilla ice cream.
NOLA
Very solid lunch, possibly the best (nice) lunch I've ever had. The
stuffed fried chicken wings were increadible, and we split 2 entrees - pulled pork panini and garlic crusted redfish
Ruby Slipper
Very cool little brunch place in mid-city that everyone had been talking about. I was hungover, so I wasn't that into it, but it was tasty....Shrimp and Grits were good, but they were a little too creamy.
I'm going to sleep for 3 days now
