Is Commander's Palace open?
Their website is up and running, but the latest press releases are all from 2004...
We'll be in NOLA in March and would love to go there, if we can.

I rarely recommend specific dishes because people's tastes vary so much, but...
if you do go and have never had it, you really should try the bread pudding souffle for dessert. Like nothing I have ever had elsewhere.

I had dinner there last January. It was a memorable evening but the food was not as good as I had expected. I did have the bread pudding souffle and it was good but I must admit I had expected something more. I guess I prefer the traditional bread pudding with more substance

So hopefully that means the kitchen under Tory McPhail has regained it's rhythm. Or maybe we had too many Sazeracs.

I had lunch there in June and it was fantastic! The soups, in particular, were a standout (I had a mini-sampler of three: turtle, plum/champagne, and something else which I can't remember now)
Hopefully the 25c martini thing is still going on as well.
