on Citysearch Nov 05, 2008Commander's Palace is a very upscale, and classy restaurant. The dishes are fancy (but tasty too) and the creme brulee is one of the best I've ever tasted. Although it was labeled a fancy restaurant, the atmosphere is... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 02, 2008My second favorite restaurant in all the world...a perfect piece of culinary history. Birthplace of the cocktail and the French 75. You simply can't go wrong here and the staff treat you like royalty. Try the lamb... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 28, 2008This place failed to wow me, and with all the hype about it I never expected it to be so average. The staff is amazing, but they have this old school tradition of bugging you every thirty seconds to de-crumb the table or... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 24, 2007The building is cool. Yes, it's an old restaurant, but that's not enough reason to like it. People mistake things that are good for things they've simply heard of. I don't mind paying a lot for food if it's good food, but... (more)

on Citysearch May 18, 2007Commanders Palace very very overpriced for a limited menu which they offer. Not much of a selection .The palace as they call it is very nice although they lack the Creole sensation. The Turtle soup with sherry was cold... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 24, 2004To my way of thinking, Commander's Palace certainly did not live up to the hype about being the best restaurant in the U.S. Other NOLA restaurants like Mr. B's Bistro and K-Paul's certainly had better food and a more... (more)
