It may look like any other traditional uptown New Orleans house, but the heart of Dick & Jenny’s is definitely the kitchen. Even if there’s a wait for a table, chef Stacy Hall’s seasonally changing menu usually proves worth it. We suggest the savory lobster and Brie cheesecake for an appetizer. Southern touches from grits to greens adorn most dishes, and the smoky-tasting gumbo loaded with sausage and goose, or fried oysters with rémoulade sauce leave no doubt you're in New Orleans. The menu always features at least one substantial meatless special. Wine selections are respectable, but the more attractive spirits come in the form of specialty cocktails such as the “Bourbon pecan praline.” Finish your meal with lemon pie with cherry marmalade, or chocolate amaretto cake. A homey aura is evident throughout this friendly establishment, from the covered back patio annex with porch swings to the collection of hand-painted plates decorating the dining room to the bargeboard exterior.
