Commander's Palace Details PleaseDinner begins at 6/6:30 PM, Monday through Sunday. Lunch is held Thursday and Friday, beginning at 11:30 AM.Jazz brunch is held on Saturday and Sundays 11 AM - 2:30 PM.Closed on Christmas and Mardi Gras.Need To KnowLeave your casual wear at home and come as your best dressed self. For men, collared shirts and closed-toed shoes required. (Jackets are preferred.)What Our Friends Are SayingCondé Nast Traveler: "The Garden District mansion that houses Commander’s Palace is an odd-looking, bright aqua affair; some jokingly call the style of architecture "Victorian Cuckoo." Inside though, the food is more traditional fine dining, with a genteel, buttoned-down clientele and an enforced dress code (collared shirts, close-toed shoes). Staples here include upscale regional classics: the turtle soup, gumbo du jour, and pecan-crusted gulf fish. By far, the restaurant’s most popular tipples are the 25-cent martinis, which practically fly out of the bar during weekday lunch."Infatuation: "If you’ve come to New Orleans looking for an all-caps CLASSIC restaurant, head to Commander’s Palace in the Garden District, where every table is treated like Carnival royalty. This is the sort of place where regulars know to call a full year in advance to snag tables for certain days, like the Friday before Mardi Gras when members of local parading krewes will greet friends and toss beads from table to table. On a more typical afternoon, make a reservation here for the sort of long, lazy lunch that involves many, many courses (and drinks). Make sure you order the turtle soup (and yes, you do want the sherry to top it off) and ask for the bread pudding, which takes a little extra time, at the start of your meal. Oh, and don’t forget about one of the greatest lunch specials ever - the 25 cent martinis."

25-cent martinis. OK, now that we have your attention, Commander’s Palace is classic New Orleans (and yes, they do have 25-cent martinis at lunch) and one of those famous places you just have to try. Reserve a table well in advance and plan on eating a lot of traditional Creole food and drinking a lot of alcohol.
