My husband and I are going to New Orleans Friday for our anniversary. I've lived in Louisiana all my life and know many restaurants there, but I'm looking for a really romantic place in the city to go out to dinner at. Help!

Don't know if you are looking for upscale fine dining or something casual. But my husband and my favorite romantic, unique and incredibly delicious restaurant is this romantic and intimate place that we discovered through locals on Frenchman Street in the Faubourg Marigny District (just 2 blocks outside french quarter) it is called Adolfo's (611 Frenchmen St., 504-948-3800). Call for a reservation on Thursday and be on time. It is a small candlelight italian restaurant with so much character located above the Apple Barrel Bar (which is even smaller). It is truly a locals place and not touristy or cheesy at all. It is divine. Make sure to try the mussells marinara and the crab/corn cannelloni. It is EXTREMELY reasonably priced as well. But trust me, it is some of the finest food in this city. There are plenty of unique and local type bars to visit for an after dinner drink as well. And after that, if you are looking for a late night dessert, La Peniche restaurant is the perfect place to go. Every kind of pie you could imagine and they are open LATE. If you do decide to dine at Adolfo's let me know what you think.... It is a great way to truly experience New Orleans as the locals do and not through the eyes of a drunken tourist on Bourbon Street.

Dickie Brennans Steakhouse-the round booths are romantic because you get to sit by each other. They also have great entrees as well as great champange. I love it there.

Arnaud's and Commander's Palace are both great restaurants. Both have a wonderful atmosphere and a great ambiance.
