I felt compelled to write this review solely because of the attacks against Tujague's. Don't expect a dinner that is going to change your life...chances are, you'll probably have a better dish elsewhere if you're visiting for a few days. However, my wife and I (who have lived around New Orleans for the past five years) thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The shrimp remoulade was good, the brisket was very good, the gumbo was excellent, the entrees were very good (my wife had the crawfish etoufee while I had the chicken with creole sauce), and the bread pudding was very good/excellent. Overall it was very good. To those of you complaining about a bad meal, from what I know about and have experienced at Tujague's, you probably had a freak bad experience. It happens. As I said before, you can find a better dish in New Orleans, but it's hard to find five courses that are this solid.
