 Eat Restaurant Review: Located right between the residential and tourist sections of the French Quarter, this SoHo-inspired café is indeed a bright, welcoming space. Shiny wood floors, oversize windows with sailor-cloth curtains and crisp white paper overlays on white linen tablecloths contribute to the inviting ambience. Eat is ideal for a leisurely weekend brunch, and just as suited to a quiet romantic dinner after dark. Don't look for alcoholic beverages here, but feel free to bring your own. No corkage is charged. If you think you see the same appetizer on almost every table, you may be right. The blue cheese and fig torte is a fine combination of sharp and sweet, and the dish has become a house signature. This is one of the few places in town you can find good lox and bagels and just under-fried green tomatoes with rémoulade sauce on the same menu. Dinners are hearty; the tender pot-roasted chicken and the fried okra are about as Southern as it gets, and the slow-cooked beef brisket is cut-it-with-a-fork tender. All desserts are made in house, but for our money, the aforementioned blue cheese and fig torte is as appropriate for ending the meal as it is as an appetizer. |
