Coolinary At Antoine's; Three Courses, $39
Antoine's plays the Coolinary game two different ways. The first is their $20 lunch menu, available all year long and including three courses. The other is more like a Coolinary dinner menu, also offering three courses, but amplified in terms of ingredients and portions. The price is twice that of lunch, but still a great bargain at $39. Both of the menus are made up mostly of classic Antoine's dishes, with a few selections while others are new ideas in a traditional vein. Both lunch and dinner menus are available on Monday through Saturday respectively. The only unusual restriction is that your table is limited to 15 or fewer guests.LUNCH MENU: $2017 Charbroiled Oysters Louisiana oysters topped with garlic, herbs, butter, olive oil and Romano cheese ~or~
