Description:

The menu is currently under the direction of Miles Prescott, who cooked way over the top at the Country Club in Bywater before moving here. Although he remade the Brasserie's menu completely (a process that continues, one dish at a time), his style merged with the innovative Creole cuisine that had been in the restaurant all along. Hardly a dish here fails to add something dramatically new. Even a traditional dish like paella gets an entirely new flavor profile simply through the use of basmati rice. The performance is not totally consistent--I've run into a couple of near-misses--but for the most part they're cooking better here than at any time in the past.
