Coz Sally and Diver 88,
Wow! Sally - thanks for creating and updating the list! Diver 88 - have you (actually either of you) tried Tony Rome's? Good food, great company and a most unique evening hosted by Tony himself! He does it all, meets, greets, helps with the cooking and entertains! He comes and sits with you and is genuinely interested in his guests - when you leave you will be "family". He came to Coz years ago for the diving and then went home, sold his stuff and came back. Since then he has become the "go-to guy" for travelers who have problems. His restaurant is across from the French Quarter, next to Black Shark Divers. We have had several cabbies over the years tell us he is not there or "gone". Don't believe them, ask for the dive shop or the French Quarter, then walk next door or across the street. Tony's place took a pretty good hit with Wilma but according to friends who just returned, he is up and running and better than ever!!
OK - so I'm a little biased, but if you try his place, I think you will agree with me - Tony Rome's belongs on the list.
See you guys in TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!
