Take a look at the great auction items on our list. Your holiday gifts this year could make a family member or friend very happy and a struggling student's life a little less stressful. Thank you for taking a look.

Commander's Palace is Proud to Announce that we are Officially Open

Ti Martin, an owner of Commander's Palace, one of New Orleans' and the country's finest dining institutions. Ti recently spoke about the emotional grand opening just over a year after Katrina wreaked havoc on our famous and beloved culinary landmark. Ti explains there was never any question about re-opening: "This is who we are".

About Commander's Palace:

A hidden jewel in the heart of New Orleans' Garden District, Commander's Palace is truly one of the finest dining experiences in the world. Commander's setting with sounds that soothe the soul and set the mood for an unparalleled culinary adventure.

As you sit spellbound by the atmosphere, you may hardly notice the attention to detail with which the Brennan name is synonymous. Commander's interior is as timeless and treasured as its gardens and offers views of them from the comfort of its garden room and newly remodeled patio room.

Service at Commander's Palace is impeccable. The Brennans know that surrounding yourself with the best will only lead to a more enjoyable occasion and, as with everything else, they have succeeded again. The staff is eminently polite and virtually unnoticeable until they anticipate and then fulfill your wishes.

As Commander's signature delectables start to arrive, you finally begin to realize why this is the most praised and awarded restaurant in the world. Once again, attention to detail is key. Your meal is nothing less than sensual, appealing to all of your senses in unison and leaving you with a lifelong impression that is Commander's Palace.
