I'm not a huge fan of Delmonico's but Emeril is doing a 10 year anniversary special thru this weekend. 10 small plates each $10. sounds interesting: here's the link:

[JazzyB]

They always have that. Cuvee always has 3 courses for $24..(W-Thur only).

Whole bunch of summer menus:

There should be a whole bunch of menus on the above website but I guess all the chefs/managers are too busy in this slack season to come up with a menu. Over half the places have coming soon on their sites and the specials are supposed to begin today. Typical New Orleans timing

Just got a note from Morton's Steakhouse about their 3 course dinner for 2 for $99 thru Sept. 30th.
You may have to go online to print the coupon or mention the special when booking.

[JazzyB]

Morton's has been offering this since before Valentine's Day. Be forewarned re: COOLinary menus. Check each rest. restrictions. Some are valid only a few days per week, many not on Sat.

[edible complex]

Morton's must have just extended it, as they previously advertised that it ended 6/30/08.

Maximo's ad for their July special is for Mon, Wed, Thurs, $29.99 for glass of wine, house salad, veal saltimbocca, and choice of chocolate or lemon tortufo.

[JazzyB]

edible, have you been to Melange? Their COOLinary menu looks good.

[edible complex]

just looked at their menu and it does look good. but I think they may have it listed backwards; the site I looked at reported lunch $30 and dinner $20, hmmm.
had dinner there one night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Chef Matt Murphy was cooking then and was quite delightful. he may still be there (thought I read so) the cheeses for desert with the Edmeades Petite Syrah were the most memorable.
we closed the place down and then went to hear Jeremy Davenport. great evening.

i thought the same so i went in one nite to ask for it, but the hostess had never heard of it. did not stay.

While the COOLinary menus seem like a bargain, many selections don't appeal to me. I'd prefer to order from the regular menu and pay a bit more for something I'm more apt to enjoy.

[funkkjunkie]

I'm coming down next week and love some of the coolinary menus. We'll be trying Bacco and Pelican Club for dinner and Cuvee and 7 on fulton for lunch! I loooove bbq shrimps!

[JazzyB]

I am not a fan of 7 on Fulton and find Bacco to be a second tier rest, merely ok foodwise. Cuvee is a treat. Don't miss the shrimp remoulade napoleon app. Baccos' bbque shrimp is good, not great. Just my 2 cents.

Ralph's is offering their 3 appies and a glass of wine for $28 again.
