Dining room at Ralph's on the Park, New Orleans, LAPerched right on the border of City Park, one of the nation's largest urban parks, Ralph's is an elegant establishment. Although it has undergone a series of chef changes, it has remained on track, thanks largely to the steady hand of veteran local restaurateur Ralph Brennan. Brennan’s smartest innovation was the introduction of a small-plates menu, in addition to his entrée list. The small-plates selections may include salt-and-vinegar frogs' legs; a flaky, flavorful crab meat napoleon; corn flake-crusted shrimp; and even a Vietnamese calamari with pork tenderloin stuffing. Full entrées run the gamut from saffron-braised lamb cheeks to curried pulled pork. Bourbon-soaked banana fritters bring a meal back to New Orleans traditions. The wine list balances interesting small-lot wines from the world over with less impressive but still drinkable California brand name selections. Reserve a window seat overlooking the park, or settle in at the bar.
