Great restaurant bars in NOLA

I'm here for my college reunion and my group has decided that grabbing dinner while enjoying some cocktails might be a better plan. So what do you recommend? Can be a high end restaurant that offers the menu in the bar, a cocktail place with good bites--pretty open to all options. There are only 3-4 of us so we should be able to go almost anywhere. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Cane & Table

Tujague's

I second Cane and Table.

Recently had a lovely prosciutto & cheese plate: soft goat, cheddar, and a triple creme garnished with home-made peach preserves and candied nuts at The Avenue Pub, 1732 St. Charles Ave. (at Polymnia St. 1 block down from the Euterpe streetcar stop), known for its extensive beer list on its first floor (over 50 taps) and its extensive bourbon list on its second floor (I sampled a fine 91 proof Four Roses private barrel).

I believe they have some pretty good sandwiches and vegan offerings as well. They tout their consulting chef as coming from Boucherie. However, we could only manage the aforementioned charcuterie plate snack there at the very late end of a very full day...but not their notorious "Dump Truck Fries"--fries with with bechamel & lemongrass pulled pork!

And they are open 24 hours, 7 days a week!!!
