    I could have sworn that I reviewed this place before…read more I could come here and regale you with facts and figures about this super important place, but I know better. You're not going to read any of that. You probably won't even read this. But guess what? I am a rando with rando tenancies and plan on telling you the real store of the Bonnet Carre. Here are some things you should know: 1. I used to think it was named after lady named Bonnie Carey. Maybe she was Jim's niece or something. What the heck did I know? It wasn't until much later that I learned it's actual named after the hood of a car in England. Why a mud riding spot is named after a car hood is beyond me. I don't make the rules bub. 2. This is a great place to go mud riding. Nuff said. When I was in high school some friends and I met some weird hippy dude in an old CJ. He took us in the woods and didn't murder us. 3. This place saves Nola from flooding. Right now it has also turned the lake brown as heck, but I'll take muddy lake water over 20 feet of water in my office. 4. The road that runs through this area blows goats. Quit hogging the left lane and driving like a jackass. If you read anything, read this. Oh and by the way, don't use your hazard lights when it's foggy bro/bro-ette. Got it?

    John is correct... the old Bonnet Carre listing disappeared. I looks like I reviewed in back in…read more2015 and I could still get to the review, even though the listing was gone. So here's a reprise: I'm really glad that I don't drive over the Spillway in rush hour very often. Because even though it's 2 lanes in each direction in a STRAIGHT LINE, people are dumb. And make a mess with traffic for zero reason. But it can be a really pretty drive when the traffic is light and the weather is right. Favorite spillway memories: 1. commuting to BR to get my graduate degree, and on the way home seeing the biggest brightest spring moon rise ever. It was like a blessing. 2. They opened the spillway for flood control when I was a little kid. My Mom decided we should go see so she loaded me, bro2 and bro3 in our old Volkswagen van. We're driving back and there are a bajillion crawfish crossing the highway so my Mom stops and we all run along the shoulder by headlight and scoop up crawfish into the van so we can boil them later. I don't really remember much about the spillway being open except rushing water. Kids. They're just unappreciative. Now the crawfish and the mosquito bites, that I remember.

    My husband and I are new to the area. Without solid NYE plans, we decided to have dinner at Del…read morePorto before seeing where the night would take us. The meal started off in a great note with our server Sean. Not only was he knowledgeable about the menu, but funny and truly enthusiastic about his job. For the holiday, the chef provided guests with a complimentary amuse bouche of beet-feta salad. Even in ten complimentary sample, Sean went back to the kitchen to grab my husband a plate that did not have bacon, as he does not eat pork. He also ensured to point out pork in all things we ordered and placing it on the side of dishes to ensure we could share the meal. We ordered the short ribs and half portions of the pumpkin carbonara and house made cavatelliEverything was excellent and even tastes great as leftovers the next day. Portions were incredibly generous! I still think the star of the show was our white bean artichoke dip. Garlicky, briney and smooth. We sopped it up with the tasty toast points and took some home for toast the next day. The apple crostini with vanilla ice cream finished off our meal on a sweet note. The natural flavors of this he fruit and real vanilla really came through. As a seasonal flavor, we are looking forward to coming back when the restaurant offers another seasonal selection. We had the apple cider mojito and boulevardier as our cocktails. Truly excellent meal, service and setting.

    We came during the week for lunch with a large 7 person crowd. There was something for everyone!…read moreEven our vegetarian friend. We ordered watermelon martini and some seasonal peach and melon cocktails that were delicious. The white bean dip is a perfect appetizer and should not be missed. The service was friendly and prompt for such a large group. Highly recommend trying and best to get a reservation. It's not a large place but also doesn't feel cramped.
