During our month-long visit to New Orleans, it seemed to be a city positively overflowing with happy hours. Every time we turned around someone wanted to sell us oysters for less than a clam, cocktails at cockamamie prices or small plates at small prices. We are always happy to take advantage of a deal and it helped us narrow down our huge list of places to eat and drink, so we were more than happy to oblige and imbibe for any special hour. <\/p>\n

The most venerable of all happy hour specials, and truly our happiest hour at any establishment in the Big Easy was the New Orleans Commander’s Palace<\/a> martini lunch hour where you can have your’s shaken or stirred for just 25\u00a2 each!<\/p>\n

Nestled in the heart of the Garden District, Commander’s Palace has been touted as one of New Orleans’ finest restaurants since it opened sometime between 1880 – 1890, depending on who you believe. Either way, the restaurant is very old and very popular and it is not hard to see why!<\/p>\n

We are a little distrustful of restaurants that are long-standing establishments such as this one. I have felt in the past that places like this tend to rest on their laurels getting by on the name alone, serving sub-par food with mediocre service – not so for Commander’s Palace!<\/p>\n

We got a taste of the Southern hospitality we would be treated to at the restaurant when I called to make a reservation. A friend of ours is vegan, and though she said she was fine just having some lettuce while we enjoyed our meal I wanted to make sure she would be able to have martinis with us. The 25\u00a2 martinis are available with the purchase of any entr\u00e9e, and if she could not eat any of the entr\u00e9es it would not have been quite so fun. <\/p>\n
