Yes, I believe so.

Watching/listening to the "locals" have Sunday lunch at Galatoire's (or better yet, seated with locals - NEVER MORE THAN 4 TO A TABLE!** -remains a quintessential NOLA experience. An old friend, long in New Orleans, now retired to the desolate prairies of far North Dallas, and I commiserate about the memories of long afternoons tucked into a table at what was likely never a "multi-star" on the Michelin map, but in my life and travels certainly among a handful of restaurants worthy of the classification "Most Enjoyable".

**No waiter or waitstaff, even the best, can really "serve" with style and appropriate personal attention a large table of guests. Even the best attempts while acceptable fall short.
