Commander's Palace Restaurant Review

: Few American cities consider a restaurant a source of local pride, but New Orleans is reverently proud of Commander’s Palace. Owned by the high-profile Brennan family, the restaurant serves as good an example of contemporary Creole cuisine as can be found in the Gulf South. Signature dishes include turtle soup with sherry, Parmesan-crusted oysters and a bread pudding soufflé, and these are just the tip of the culinary iceberg. Chef Tory McPhail offers a pecan-crusted Gulf fish with Champagne-poached jumbo lump crab, and a black skillet-seared wild fish with vegetables and char-grilled Meyer lemons, herbs and brown butter vinaigrette. His hickory-smoked pork tenderloin rests on smashed sweet potatoes with barbecued onions, brown sugar roasted apples and mushroom fricassée, while sliced tenderloin of milk-fed veal pairs with root vegetable boulangère. Classic desserts include a unique cheesecake made from Creole cream cheese. The libations list is extensive, with depth in many areas, including fine vintage portos, Cognacs and Scotch whiskey. Here's where you want to have that Sazerac, a classic New Orleans cocktail. The ambience is as rich and grand, and the service is as good as it gets in New Orleans. Try to score a table in the elegant Garden Room.
