Discount and "coolinary" dinner menus
Anyone tried the discounted dinners at some of the nicer restaurants in town? K-Pauls has a $30 thing going on and all entrees were tasty. What are the best values?

Antoine's has a special summer lunch for 19.50 that sounds wonderful. Also try Muriels, Ralphs on the PArk, or Bacco. A lot of places are offering some sort of special, more so for lunch than for dinner.

The Antoine's special is pretty "meh." A confused-tasting casserole for the first course (choice of eggplant or crawfish, both were about a 4 out of 10), and an ok, small softshell crab for the entree. I honestly don't think it's worth even $19.50.
I much prefer the Palace Cafe temperature lunch, as far as lunch bargains go.

re: nikinik
really? what happened?
while its definitely a step below fine dining, ive usually found their service good enough for busy bistro; but i usually go for lunch. i do remember once being on the patio at dinner service for happy hour and the service was very poor -- i think they stick the amateur's out there.

We did the special menu at the Pelican Club a week back. My wife had the slad and I had the excellent seafood martini as starters. Her entree which she found a little bland was a filet of fish with crabmeat and I had the small filet mignon.Dessert was good renditions of bread pudding and creme brulee.The place is very nice and the service was good. It was $33 for the three course dinner.
