Previous favorites were:
Peristyle - very good
Bayoana - very good, best rabitt I have ever had ( even in France)
NOLA - good.
But my current favorite is Upperline, located in a old house in a residentail area on the edge of the garden district.
Ate there on last two trips to NO and cant wait to go back. Added bonus is the lady who owns/runs the place she will give updated info on all the restaurants in the city,
bad and more important her favorites.
