"This new restaurant on Metairie Road in the old Garden Gates Home and Garden store has style to spare. Garrison Kitchen includes five outdoor dining gazebos, a garden for strolling, and a century-old cottage with its bar and progression of cozy dining rooms. Chef John Sinclair incorporates the garden’s fresh vegetables and herbs into dishes like tuna niçoise, roasted pork belly, beef kebabs, meatballs with herb salad, shrimp toast, and a pork cutlet sandwich. Pastry chef Jillian Duran rocks desserts like Black Forest profiteroles." - Beth D'Addono
