Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Design District

We have decided to make The Mexican our go-to for our Christmas celebration with one of our best friends from now on. We started at the bar for a cocktail before we were seated in the beautiful main dining room. Our server, Josa (sp?) was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. He pointed out the customer favorites for all parts of the menu. We started with ceviche and queso fundido for our starters, and we had the trio of enchiladas, the ribeye steak, and tacos for the main. We wanted to share everything and Josa did the honors of separating the starters and the mains onto three dishes. As we were finishing our first course, a tequila sommelier came to our table who gave us a mini course on the correct way to taste tequila. Free, interesting, and fun! We finished with the Quatro Leche cake for dessert which was delicious. All in all, one of the best dining experiences for me in the last three years. It’s not cheap, however. All in, dinner and cocktails were north of $700 for the three of us. But, we said we’d definitely do it again. Thanks all for a memorable evening!

The food was outstanding. The service there was incredible. We came to see a great close friend of ours, and what he’s doing is very beyond words. We’re very proud, and will be coming back to try other items! But those wagyu dumplings with that crème sauce. DELICIOUS!!!

Delicious! Every morsel was spectacular! We started with a dozen oysters, followed by mouth watering ming crab and tuna carpaccio, chopped wedge salad and icy vodka martinis with hand stuffed blue cheese olives! We chose a rare bone in ribeye and a lobster for our entree and finished with a devils food cake slice and the famous “Elvis” dessert! April was our WAITSTAFF EXTRAORDINAIRE providing exquisite service and making this a Holiday celebration to remember!

Always an enjoyable, top-notch dining experience. We love the ambiance eating in Dean's Kitchen. The food is delicious and the setting is devine and subdued and quiet enough to have a wonderful conversation. The service was excellent, altho there was some awkwardness and uncertainty around the cocktail and wine orders.

My wife and I ate at the dragonfly for Thanksgiving. I had the turkey and my wife had just the cheddar and brocoli soup. We had had delicious drinks and the charcuterie plate at the bar a few hours earlier so she was not that hungry. I was still hungry and ordered the turkey. It was all very delicious and the bar tender was very good. I had a couple of hurricanes that were NOLA quality.
