 Galatoire's Restaurant Review: Galatoire's is a study in what early twentieth-century fine dining was really all about. Menu trends are shunned, as this is a quintessential classic Creole restaurant. Tradition is revered in the elegant, clubby atmosphere. We can't imagine beginning a meal without the goutte or the grand goutte, palate-stimulating samplers of the shrimp rémoulade, crab meat maison and shrimp maison, sized to fit your table's head count. Fried oysters and bacon en brochette, sautéed fish lavished with seasoned crab meat and lightly charred lamb chops still reign on the white-linen tablecloths. Soufflé potatoes are a must. It all ends delightfully with what may be the only sweet potato cheesecake in town. A trio of rooms on the second floor adds dining space, but regulars prefer the undeniable charms of the ground-floor area, which does not accept reservations. (They are accepted for the second floor.) The downstairs’ opposing mirror panels embellish the sidewalls, appointed with glittering brass fixtures. The noise level can become rather elevated as the evening wears on, as bittersweet Sazerac and old-fashioned cocktails fuel much of the energy. The revamped wine list improved overall quality and added welcome diversity in styles and prices. It is complex, and tailor-made for oenophiles. But rest easy --- the well-trained servers can always find the right pairings. |
