In the golden years of the Windsor Court's Grill Room, the cushy dining rooms were busy (but never noisy) with the full spectrum of New Orleans people. Lunch hasn't been emphasized much in the past decade there lately. So it's good to see the room doing something special for the duration of summer. It's the Coolinary standard: two courses, $20. Two other rules obtain: your party can't be more than eight people, and you have to turn your cellphone off. Sounds reasonable. Here's the menu:
Local Baby Lettuces
Pickled peaches, shaved radishes, spiced pecans, goat cheese croquettes, cane syrup vinaigrette

Sweet Corn Soup
Sage-popcorn panna cotta, baby shrimp, summer truffle
