PRESS COMMENTS & AWARDS Dickie Brennan s serves USDA Prime steaks with a creative New Orleans twist; the 6-ounce House Filet is topped with fried oysters and béarnaise sauce, the Barbecue Rib-Eye is topped with Abita beer barbecue shrimp, and any steak can be topped with jumbo lump crabmeat or Danish blue cheese. That s not to say that you should avoid unadorned steaks; the 16-ounce strip is seared in a cast-iron skillet, and just might be New Orleans finest steak. The Daily Meal this clubby subterranean establishment in the French Quarter serves a winning combination of USDA prime beef and Creole classics. The 16-ounce cast-iron-seared New York strip is a favorite. The more extravagant house filet arrives topped with béarnaise and sides of fried oysters, creamed spinach, and ham- and caramelized onion flecked Pontalba potatoes. For a local twist, order the rib eye with Abita-spiked barbecue sauce and head-on shrimp. Travel & Leisure A place regulars can come with the feeling of familiarity, and newcomers can quickly be brought into the fold. Virtual Gourmet, John Mariani This French Quarter institution was nearly destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, but after some serious reconstruction their 16-ounce strip hot off a cast-iron skillet is back!
