Best Place to Have Dinner on NYE

[yanks26dmb]

Looking for a nice place for dinner. My girlfriend and I are both in our mid 20s and will probably want to go to a nice dinner around 9ish, then be out to watch fireworks/be in bars for the remainder of the evening, so something around the FQ would be ideal. Hoping to spend no more than 60 per person with about 1 glass of wine/drink each. Many thanks!

Bumping this thread up...I'm looking for a good place for New Years dinner as well, and didn't want to bother you guys with a new thread. Basically the same criteria, though if anyone can give suggestions for slightly less expensive, but still nice restaurants?

Though Mr. B's Bistro seems like it may be a good match for us.

just be sure to ask if the restaurant is doing pre fixe that night. you can easily get caught into a menu that is more than you want to spend on items that you might not have ordered.

all good suggestions above, and I'll add the Rib Room and Muriel's.

Thanks! I ended up making a reservation at Muriel's. Is it super touristy? I know it's on Jackson Square.

I know a lot of locals who have their NYE's there.

NOLA is a lot of fun. Bayona is a fine place also. And Galatoire's is outstanding. Mr. B's is a fun place. I assume they will be open on NYE.

NOLA, if open, will be very convenient to the midnight action at Jax Brewery and river fireworks.
