While sightings of the "Bam!" man himself are rare, chef de cuisine David Slater keeps rolling out the classics from Lagasse's playbook. Huge barbecue shrimp come enrobed in a robustly seasoned brown sauce; redfish come coated with a crumble of andouille sausage; and the king of desserts à la Emeril is the mightiest coconut cream pie imaginable. Slater's six-course tasting menus are dazzling, too. Occasionally, they might feature a Creole mustard-crusted rack of Colorado lamb. The wine list, under the expert guidance of sommelier Ray Gumpert, is as thick as a Russian novel and well composed, with (surprise!) a fair number of bottles priced below $35. Well-organized service teams keep things humming at the tables. The food bar, once located in a partly visible corner space, has been widened, and affords a panoramic view of the kitchen. Framed like a stage's proscenium arch, its border of back-lit glass cases hold colorful seeds, grains and spices.
