| For a French Quarter brewpub, Crescent City Brewhouse’s rather ambitious menu is somewhat unexpected. Local preferences for robust flavors rule, enabling such dishes as redfish St. Louis, grilled tuna with lemon beurre blanc, and jumbo shrimp stuffed with lump crab meat and jalapeños. Bavarian-born brewmaster Wolf Koehler's vats take up a good part of the two floors; he produces at least four beers on a given day, including a fine pilsner and a semi-sweet weissbeer that's ideal for the tropical climate. His brews play roles in some of the dishes, too, such as Gulf shrimp steeped in beer. Insider’s tip: Try Koehler's German sausage platter with sauerkraut and potatoes with a full-bodied dark Black Forest beer --- or two. The owner has a penchant for local art and features rotating exhibitions throughout the establishment. Bread pudding is the signature dessert, but all are made in house. |
