Restaurants in New Orleans (near FQ)

[MickeyNicki]

We will be in NO this Saturday. We are traveling with a group of 10. Last year we went to Deanie's, and we LOVED it. This year we are worried with 10 people it may take too long to get in since we will have some kids in our group. We are staying at the Embassy Suites in the convention center area. We were able to walk to the French Quarters last year, but we can also drive somewhere else if we need to. What do you suggest? We would like a place that serves seafood, but has other options as well. TIA!

If your looking for something along the same type as Deanie's, Drago's is very good. They have 2 locations in NO, one at the Hilton on Poydras and the other in Metarie which is a stand alone restaurant and not too far from the CBD

Anyone tried Mulate's? Drago's looked good, but I couldn't get a reservation.

TIA!
