The ambiance for a jazz brunch on a Saturday or Sunday can't be beat. Request to sit outside in the courtyard, make reservations to increase your chances of a courtyard table.
Order the buffet (its not your standard buffet) and take the time to wait in the omelet line for a Seafood Omelet.

One of my top 3 favorite restaurants in the city. Great for date night or celebrations. Exquisite New Orleans style dishes/ creole cuisine. Unassuming location in the heart of uptown. Has won several awards, but manages to fly under the radar from the tourist scene. A local's favorite. Definitely call in advance to make a reservation.
