One - New Orleans, LA

For those who believe sleek/sophisticated and intimate are mutually exclusive when it comes to restaurant ambiance, it may be time for an evening at ONE. Located uptown just steps from Carrollton Ave near St. Charles, ONE combines the well-seasoned, "perfectly textured" culinary creations of rising chef Scott Snodgrass, (late of Clancy's), with the irresistible hospitality of his co-owner Lee McCullough.

Ask for a table for two at One and three things will shake up your senses: the sleek, sophisticated atmosphere, the stellar service and an expertly prepared meal that you'll be talking about tomorrow. The intimate dining room that seats 75 and features 34 wines by the glass, an award-winning duck and okra gumbo with homemade boudin, and delicate char-grilled oysters complimented by Roquefort cheese and vinaigrette. The flavors are full, as is the dining room six nights a week.
