Boucherie

"The chance to nibble on chef Nathanial Zimet’s simply elegant cuisine is reason enough to head to his inviting Uptown restaurant for happy hour Wednesday through Saturday, 5 to 6:30 p.m. The happy hour food menu includes a discounted grilled Caesar — the restaurant is known for it — a house-ground burger, boudin balls, and $5 fries — they are best enjoyed with garlic aioli for dipping. Add in the $6 house wines and cocktails and $3 drafts and life is good." - Eater Staff

"This Carrollton favorite never rests on its laurels, putting the food first always. Nathanial Zimet’s five-course NYE menu (plus an amuse of oysters), a good deal at $100 per person, includes special occasion dishes like king crab marrow bone, fried oysters with duck confit and mushroom ragout, and a choice of wagyu prime rib or miso-glazed black cod. Add a wine pairing for $40. Reserve here." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"When it became apparent how important it was to have a covered outdoor dining space to stay afloat during the pandemic, Nathanial Zimet, executive chef of Boucherie, built his own. It features a permanent covering surrounded by trellises growing new evergreen wisteria vines, picnic tables and benches, as well as smaller four-top tables and purple chairs to match the flowers when they start to bloom. The modern Southern restaurant offers a fab cocktail program along with the likes of blackened shrimp and grit cake and whole hog pulled pork." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
