Amazing Israeli cuisine. One of my favorite restaurants in NOLA (cauliflower hummus is a must) and then it got voted best restaurant in the US. Make a reservation, but if you can't get a table, call or stop in to see if they can seat you. Yes, sometimes it will work out. Courtyard is wonderful in good weather. http://www.shayarestaurant.com/
