Willie Mae's Uptown location is not doing well, at all. I'm not a fan of any of John Besh's restaurants. R'evolution in the FQ is not high on my list either, they cater too much to the drunken Bourbon St. crowd. Carrollton Market on Hampson St. in Uptown is on my no go list.

Re: Uptown
Agree with your list, especially Bistro Daisy as it's our Uptown goto place. Solidly consistent.

Shaya is outstanding and a must do place now.

Boucherie, in its new digs, is great. Always see the chef at the Uptown Farmers Market.

Others in Uptown: Cowbell for burgers, etc. and Chiba on Oak St for sushi, etc. Del Fuego on Magazine, McClure's BBQ on Magazine. Ba Chi Canteen, Jamila's & Ciro's Cote Sud on Maple St. Mint Modern and Wayfare on Freret St. St. James Cheese on Prytania. The Milk Bar on Carrollton Ave.

Going farther afield:
Metairie: Bevi Seafood on Airline Hwy, Ristorante Filippo on Ridgelake & W. Napoleon, Cafe Equator Thai on Severn Ave., Bear's Po-boys on Metairie Rd., Lagniappe Luncheonette on Airline, Atomic Burger on Vets, Pho Orchid Express on Airline Hwy.

Harahan: Charles Seafood on Jefferson Hwy, Seither's Seafood on Hickory Ave. Oak Oven Italian on Jefferson Hwy, Kim Anh Noodle House on Jeff Hwy.

We have over 400 more restaurants post-K than we did before. IMO, it's a truly amazing development and I'm happy about it. However, it's starting to be a little unsettling seeing some of the national chains moving in, i.e., N. Carrollton Ave. in Mid-City.
