Drago's Restaurant Review: The innovation born at this restaurant from Drago and Klara Cvitanovich was to shuck oysters, bathe them in butter, garlic, parsley and Parmesan, and charbroil them on the half shell over an open flame. New Orleanians were skeptical at first, but then took a liking to them, and today the restaurant churns them out like they were giving them away. Oysters appear in a dozen other dishes, oyster pasta (oysters sautéed in butter, garlic and herbs in a cream sauce on angel hair), Shuckee Duckee (blackened duck breast with oysters) and Cajun surf ‘n’ turf (blackened filet with shrimp and oysters, topped with a Cajun cream sauce). Lobster is another specialty. Expect a wait, even at lunch. The wine selections could use an occasional update, but most diners will find something satisfactory. Desserts, however, are another story --- a delectable story, that is. Treat yourself to Drago’s crème brûlée or traditional recipe bread pudding. Also located at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, 2 Poydras St., 504-584-3911. |
