Grand Isle Does The Coolinary.[/title]
Grand Isle is a casual cafe whose menu is dominated by seafood, but also includes a lot of interesting Cajun dishes. The oyster bar is first-class. Here's the menu they're offering for $39 until the end of the month.

Coolinary 2015 is under way until the end of August, with eighty-eight restaurants taking part. The price for a three-course dinner is in the vicinity of $39. In the restaurants that serve Coolinary lunch, the price is usually $25 for two courses. I have selected the most interesting menus to appear in this space every day until the summer specials end. I mark what I think will be the best dishes with the » symbol. A list of all the Coolinary restaurants is here. The value for the dollar will be irresistible.
