I don't disagree with you on most of your points. However, as a visitor to NOLA, I find the location much more convenient than having to trek to Commander's Palace.
Some of the best restaurants that I have ever visited in the world have been some of the noisiest. However, I've never found anything about the food or service lacking at the Palace Cafe, IMHO. I will give you that I have never been to the Cafe' at primetime dinner - I typically eat an early dinner or have been there for brunch/lunch. @:-)
