[title type="h3"]Crescent City Brewhouse[/title]
Something about the idea of a brewhouse with a full menu seems to go against the grain. Kind of place that does burgers and ribs but not much more. That is not the case at the Crescent City Brewhouse. The kitchen has ambitions, and the beer--all of it brewed right there in the building--is interesting. But the food is fine New Orleans casual eats. A jazz band plays every night live, adding to the pleasure. The Brewhouse has a good Coolinary/Restaurant Week (Sept. 11-17) menu, with a lot of variety and deftness in the kitchen. It's also an excellent bargain, what with three courses for $30.
