I'm with you on this one - dinner per person at Grill Room ran about the same as our dinner the night before - but man, this one just didn't seem to have the same bang-for-the-buck. Maybe if we had done the tasting menu (but we had a couple of picky eaters with us) - I just didn't think the experience was worth it and at least one of the men in our group was annoyed at being forced to don a jacket for dinner.

Nonetheless, I'm glad I tried it - wish it had been on someone else's nickel! My opinion is that this would be a fabulous place for a romantic dinner (the married couple in our group had dined there on Valentines Day), but the size of our table for six made group/business conversation difficult to impossible and it lacked the warmth I have enjoyed at other N.O. restaurants.
