Graduation Dinner in NOLA- Prix Fixe perhaps?

[Hog Maws]

So, I'm graduating from LSU, skipping out on walking and my folks and I are going to dinner in New Orleans. It'll be a Friday night. My parents recently went to Stella and August, so I was looking for something similar to that. Cochon and Boucherie are on my list, but since this is a special occasion, I don't mind dressing up and going all out.

I'd also like to do some sort of tasting menu, perhaps. I've never done a food/drink pairing.

I was thinking MiLa or Commanders, but was going to get the board's opinion on where to go on a fine night like this. Any and all suggestions are very welcome.

Le Foret is a really nice fine dining experience. Food and service are excellent. They have a tasting menu as well. The one listed on their website might not be what's being served right now, they seem to switch it up a lot.

Le Meritage in the Maison Dupuy Hotel has a wonderul menu with wine pairings. You can also order small plates or large plates. I love this place.

I'd go back to Stella and order the tasting menu.
