I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Provence, and it far exceeded my expectations. The service was impeccable, and the food was outstanding. The manager and chef both came out to greet us, and when my 9-month-old daughter became fussy (her schedule had been interrupted as we were from out-of-town), the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. They entertained her and walked around the restaurant, playing with her as if she were one of their own.
Pros: Elegant atmosphere, superb food, amazing service
Cons: requires a lengthy drive from downtown New Orleans, but it's worth it
