I love Commander's Palace. Ate there a few years ago with my wife, also worked at a place that did an exchange program with one of their old chefs (Jamie Shannon). I think the food there is great. It is an expensive night but, as far as I am concerned, well worth it. They do a great rendition of Bread Pudding, their Bread Pudding Souffle. It is basically chopped up bread pudding folded into a souffle base and baked until golden and puffy. At the table they tear it open and pour a Bourbon sauce into it. It is to die for. And of course, their tableside Cafe Brulee is not only a great show, it tastes great. As a side note, years ago I did one of my culinary internships in New Orleans and lived about 4-5 blocks from Commander's, but on my interns wages I could never afford to eat there. I shared that story with our server, and she made sure that we were treated like royalty all night long.
