This is an offshoot of the famous New Orleans restaurant, which is considered the best in that town, and sometimes even the best in the country. We did not expect quite that high a level of, well, anything, from this branch, but we did expect a lot, and they came through. It doesn't look precisely like the one in New Orleans, so it wasn't the huge shock to the system we expected (what city are we in now?), but it does have that classic handsome old New Orleans restaurant wood paneling, big chandeliers, and that sort of thing. Service is nearly as good as at the original; no group of waiters hovering to fulfill every whim and remove every crumb, but we hardly felt neglected. And the food was, if not yet as spectacular as that of its elder cousin's, just about the best we've had in Vegas yet, with not one thing, from appetizer to dessert, that disappointed our palates. On the other hand, it's interesting to see how portions shrink and prices rise when exposed to the Vegas area code. You might be best off getting the $39 three-course Creole favorite, featuring Commander's justly legendary turtle soup with sherry, Louisiana pecan-crusted fish, and signature bread pudding soufflé, three things they do very, very well indeed. Shrimp rémoulade, though, is another fine starter, and the Chocolate Sheba is one of our top desserts. Overall, this is a really nice restaurant run by people who really care about the restaurant business.
