Emeril says hello with fresh flowers.
"Located on the famed St. Charles Avenue streetcar line, Delmonico, the legendary, century-old institution, is an icon in the restaurant industry and has been a cornerstone of traditional Creole dining since 1895. Reopened by Emeril Lagasse in 1998 after an extensive historic renovation, Delmonico continues today serving a modern style of Louisiana's Creole cuisine with Emeril's warm style of service in a grand setting." Here's the tiled mosaic entry floor welcoming us to the historic building.
Four Diamonds says it all.
Mary D, daughter of Cathy and GS to all of us, happened to be in town (all the way from San Diego) at a conference, so she was able to join us. Does that make her a chrysalis?
I ordered the grilled lamb loin with braised collard greens, glazed yams, preserved watermelon, pecans, and mango pickapeppa.
It was so delicious. I cleaned my plate. And check out the signature on the steak knife.
Can you be in New Orleans and not order Bananas Foster?
...a little flambé...
Bananas Foster for two,...
...or in our case, eight.
Our dining area was on the second floor. I didn't notice the chandelier going up the stairs, but you can't help but notice it on the way down.
