From being named the best restaurant in America three times by <em>Food &amp; Wine<\/em> magazine to being named <em>Zagat&#8217;s<\/em> top New Orleans restaurant for 13 consecutive years (1988-2002) and counting, the Commander&#8217;s Palace is truly in a class of its own. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">The comfortable climes of the Aladdin Resort and Casino attempt to duplicate the original&#8217;s inimitable hospitality, incomparable food, impeccable service and sophisticated Southern stylings. In bringing the Crescent City&#8217;s most revered dining institution to the desert, the Brennan family has, for the most part, succeeded in reestablishing its classic restaurant without compromising in any fashion. The Commander&#8217;s Palace exudes panache, sophistication, Southern gentility, and sheer awe inspiring class which will leave you agape from the moment you walk in until the minute you walk out. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">An eminently polite wait staff treated us like royalty, anticipating and attending to our every need, making polite recommendations without undue pressure and politely apprising us of the restaurant&#8217;s uniquely fabulous specials. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">We began our lunches with Turtle Soup Au Sherry and Gumbo YaYa, two of the most savory soups we&#8217;ve ever had. Surprisingly the gumbo was better than the turtle soup for which the Palace is most famous. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">My entree, a crispy oyster Caesar sandwich featured garlic crusted &#8220;P&amp;J&#8221; Gulf oysters with toasted ciabatta bread, anchovy-garlic emulsion, shaved Laura Chenel&#8217;s aged goat milk cheese and crisp greens was probably the best such sandwich I&#8217;ve ever had. Kim had a Beef Tenderloin \u201cPirogue\u201d Sandwich which included roasted and slowly braised beef debris in a rich Creole seasoned au jus, stuffed in French bread and glazed with fontina cheese. Every bite was mouth-watering. Both sandwiches were accompanied by the best sweet potato fries imaginable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">The sole disappointment was in not seeing the signature Bananas Foster flamb\u00e9ed table-side. Whether that accounted for the merely mediocre Bananas Foster or not, I&#8217;m not sure, but I do know we&#8217;ve had better in riverboat casino restaurants. If the Commander&#8217;s Palace is a restaurant for the ages, every detail must be flawless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"color: #cc0000;\"><strong>Commander&#8217;s Palace<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n3663 Las Vegas Blvd S.<br \/>\n<strong>Las Vegas, Nevada<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong>LATEST VISIT<\/strong>: 28 December 2002<br \/>\n<strong># OF VISITS<\/strong>: 1<br \/>\n<strong>RATING<\/strong>: N\/R<br \/>\n<strong>COST<\/strong>: $$$<br \/>\n<strong>BEST BET<\/strong>: Turtle Soup Au Sherry, Gumbo YaYa, Beef Tenderloin \u201cPirogue\u201d Sandwich <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20551 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/Juniors01.gif?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"Juniors01\" width=\"476\" height=\"356\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/Juniors01.gif?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 476w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/Juniors01.gif?size=128x96&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 128w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/Juniors01.gif?size=256x191&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 256w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/Juniors01.gif?size=384x287&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 384w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 476px) 100vw, 476px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 476px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 476\/356;\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to accolades, there is perhaps no restaurant in America which has been as venerated as the original Commander&#8217;s Palace in New Orleans.
