New Thing #222: A Palace Princess

Commander's Palace, a New Orleans landmark since 1880, is tucked away in the Garden District. I had the privilege of going with Joe's brother Michael who was in town for a visit. Let me just say, it was amazing! As you walk in the entire staff greets you. Your waiter pulls out your chair, places the napkin on your lap, and welcomes you to this dining experience! I really did feel like a princess. The food, the atmosphere, and the staff are probably the best in New Orleans in my opinion! Now I know where I want to go for my birthday :)
I had Chef Tory McPhail's Creole Favorites: turtle soup au cherry, griddle seared gulf fish (a light dish of bruleed Louisiana citrus, crab boiled vegetables, and lemon-brown butter vinaigrette) and bread pudding souffle the "queen of creole desserts"
