Our Take: One of the top dining spots in the city. The restaurant where Paul Prudhomme, Emeril Lagasse, and many others great chefs gained national recognition, Commander’s is a national treasure. Lunch, Jazz Brunch, and Dinner Menus offer the best of what New Orleans’s cuisine has to offer. Bread Pudding Souffle, Turtle Soup au Sherry, and Shrimp and Tasso Henican are noted specialties. Note Commander’s does have a dress code (that is enforced) and jackets are preferred for men. If you can, ask for a table in the glassed-in dining room with a beautiful view of the courtyard.
