Unprepared for that soggy snag, we were comforted when the maitre d' and servers opened large umbrellas and rushed right out to our car. The restaurant's front door led into a reception area dominated by a large antique Welsh dresser. Substantial crown moldings and wainscoting in the dining rooms provided architectural interest while framing walls of soothing gray. However, as food was our major mission here, a peek is all we took. Portraying Graham' s cuisine as solely New Orleans or even solely Louisiana would be misleading.
Some techniques are French, but there are Asian and Italian touches as well.
This could begin to smell like disastrous confusion, but the distillation of influences suits the dish at hand. But the four of us microscopically analyzed every dish and never found one that failed the standards we set. Once seated in the serene gray dining room, our wonderful dilemma began. This treat was an intriguing counterpoint of luscious and piquant. The four of us had difficulty choosing appetizers and finally decided since there were five, we'd just have them all, mad impetuous fools that we were.
