Galatoire's...

What up, homies?? This weekend my mom came into Baton Rouge to visit me (and to shop of course!) and this is the outfit I wore on our trip to Galatoire's Bistro on Perkins for dinner Friday night. We had a wonderful time full of laughs, and I even saw an old friend, Will. Let's get to the outfit though, shall we?

 

Above is the Uncommon Folk art deco necklace I mentioned in a previous post, except this time I am actually wearing it. Isn't it adorable? I paired it with a simple black shirt, skinny jeans, and this killer thrifted Ralph Lauren blazer!! Can you believe this brand new, tags still on, probably originally super expensive blazer was THRIFTED? I can't believe my luck, either.

 

I rounded out the outfit with some of my favorite brown ankle boots. Today I scored a different pair of brown flat ankle boots that I will show you in another post, they are SO COOL.

 



Here are some pictures of my dinner. I began with a chocolate martini. Unfortunately, they were out of the chocolate syrup that usually garnish chocolate martinis, but it still tasted great.

 

My entree' was the Yvonne, which consisted of fish (not sure what kind, I didn't pay attention while our awesome waitress, Rosalyn, took our orders haha) with crab and mushrooms on top.

 

I think it's funny that fancy restaurants name their dishes after women's names. One of my favorite restarants in Lafayette, Mazon Grill, has a Della fish dish that is delish.

 



Finally, Mom and I shared a bread pudding with bananas and a liquor sauce, TO DIE FOR. When I was a child, bread pudding skeeved me out, but now that I am older I don't even listen to the other types of desserts because I already know I want the bread pudding.

 



 

We actually ordered a bunch more than I included here. My favorite aspect of the evening was the decor: Galatoire's interior is just so beautiful, I felt like I was in a palace at Versailles! This location was definitely modeled after the New Orleans' location, down to the tile on the floor. So, if you are looking for a taste of New Orleans and don't want to take the trip, Galatoire's BR is the place to be.
