| Housed in an old, two-story stucco structure, Muriel's began life as a spaghetti factory on a picturesque corner of Jackson Square. On the ground floor, two very large rooms, festooned with a hodgepodge of antique prints and signs, bustle with guests. They've come to dine on neo-Creole food, which includes some of the staples of this cuisine. The seafood gumbo has just the right smoky taste and hits the right earthy notes. We also recommend the Gorgonzola prosciutto tart appetizer and the wild mushroom vegetable spring roll. A blackened Louisiana redfish is stuffed with peppery crab, while a huge double-cut pork chop has a Louisiana sugar cane apple glaze. If you crave chocolate, indulge in the dark chocolate brownie with peanut butter gelato, bathed in rich caramel and chocolate sauces. Chef Gus Martin has worked in some of the finest kitchens in the city and it shows. Oenophiles and single diners note: Muriel’s list offers everything from a straightforward, full-bodied Russian River Pinot Noir to an expertly blended Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. |
