I am so saddened by the decline in this once great restaurant. My wife and I first visited Peristyle shortly after Anne Kearney took over. I ordered a steak which (back then) cost $35.00 and after I ate it I felt I would have paid $100.00 for it. It was the best steak I had ever had and to this day it is still the best. All of the food we had there was absolutly perfect as was the service. This is still a "good" restaurant but when compared to the many other fine dining choices in New Orleans, it falls far short and is nowhere near the memorable dining experience that it once was.

Pros: Still better than average dining

Cons: over priced, poor and uncreateive food combinations, absurdly small portions.
