 Dozens of restaurants enliven the French Quarter, but the way to tell how consistent one is depends on how many locals frequent the place. At Mr. B’s, equal crowds of locals and out-of-towners are the norm. In Cindy Brennan's lively bistro, partitions of dark wood and etched glass and lacy café curtains serve as the backdrop for green vinyl banquettes lining the walls. Gentle sounds waft from a centrally situated grand piano, and the service staff displays ample bustle and bravado. Another center of activity is a large grill fueled with aromatic woods. From it come well prepared fish, shellfish and meats that are imaginatively matched with unusual vegetables. Spicy, New Orleans-style barbecued shrimp is a good bet, as are the fish beignets and pasta jambalaya. The super-thick gumbo ya-ya of chicken and sausage carries hearty flavors. The bountiful desserts are hard to pass up: a soft, warm bread pudding drenched in Irish whiskey sauce; a pecan pie that yields to no other for goodness; and a cheesecake that might even pass muster on Broadway. The Sunday jazz brunch is a favorite with locals and visitors. The wine list, several pages long, probably has something for almost everybody, but you will be hard pressed to find anything from outside of California, except for Champagne. About 20 wines are offered by the glass.
