| Chef Donald Link made his name and still adds to the ranks of his local following at his original operation, Herbsaint, even though his Cajun-inspired Cochon has garnered greater attention outside New Orleans. The casually elegant setting is as appropriate for business lunches as it is for engagement dinners. The décor sets the scene for a cuisine informed by consistent freshness, an admirable restraint and lots of creativity. Many of Link's dishes echo the grand traditions of New Orleans, while others spring almost totally from the kitchen's imagination. Diners may choose between small plates, such as beef short ribs or house-made gnocchi with pancetta, or entrée size plates such as slow-roasted pork belly or Muscovy duck leg confit. The daily charcuterie selection is made in-house, and the shrimp-tomato bisque gains a new vitality with a dash of the restaurant's namesake liqueur. At dessert time, a new classic emerges: chocolate beignets, made even more sinful by the molten dark chocolate oozing from within. The cocktail list, prepared by meticulous bartenders, is as thoughtful and inspired as the wine selection. Herbsaint is a true find in a crowded restaurant town. |
