Ive lived in New Orleans for 15 years and have seen a lot and eaten more than a lot here, but Mister Gregory's Shrimp Boil is a hidden jewel in the Quarter! Not only do you have Mister Gregory himself as your personal boil master, you have a private, personal dining experience with a balcony overlooking Armstrong Park and a local performer (if you're lucky its a phenomenal drag performance!) in an intimate setting. When I went, there were less than 30 people there and we were waited on like royalty while we ate as much of the best boiled shrimp I've ever put in my mouth (and honey, I have put a lot of shrimp in this mouth!) Some folks would be turned off by the price - but what they don't realize is that the service is above excellent, the quality of food is stellar and the fact that you have a true PRIVATE DINING EXPERIENCE (I.E. you aren't waiting in a herd to eat slop from a trough) all make this a fantastic deal! The only other places to offer private dining WITH a show cost HUNDREDS of dollars and require reservations months in advance and are black tie only. At Mister Gregory's, you get it all in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere like being the honored guest at a friend's home. Do yourself a favor and book it now - before everyone finds out about what a great deal this really is and it gets booked up forever in advance!!
