My wife is planning a 30th wedding anniversary trip to New Orleans..any thoughts on interesting/offbeat/wine friendly restaurants..
thanks in advance
 
Stephen, It has been sometime since we were there but we have always enjoyed a venue over in the business district, especially for lunch, and especially for their gumbo... Bon Ton Cafe

Otherwise, Galatoire's probably is not to be missed for old-time tradition.

Acme Oyster House in The Quarter for oysters, especially poor-boys.

Cochon is highly recommended.

Otherwise, too many other places to list!

From a food perspective, I much preferred Brigtsen's to Bayona, but those were both in the distant (pre-Katrina) past. Brigtsen's is decently wine friendly, but not particular Disorderly.

A couple years ago, Bar Tonique was as close to Terroir SF as I've found in a cocktail bar. Commander's Palace is an institution, but worth visiting. Cochon was a fixture, but also good.
 
Cochon had a terrible wine list a couple of years ago, but its sister Herbsaint was great on all counts.
 
Cure and Bellocq for cocktails

Sylvain (cocktails also), Cochon and Cochon Butcher for dinner

Erin Rose for beers & shots and amazing po' boys in the back
 
A few years ago SueSue and I had dinner at Restaurant August. It was a great experience - great food, service, and wine list. If by wine friendly you mean BYOB, I don't think that it is BYOB.
