Le Meritage restaurant (1001 Toulouse St.) has replaced Dominique’s in the Maison Dupuy hotel and the menu is designed so that each of the items may be ordered as a small or large plate, to be paired with a specific characteristic of one of the many wines the restaurant serves by the glass. Chef Michael Farrell describes his cooking as Southern-Regional, and while his focus is going to be on developing a local clientele, he doesn’t intend to focus on classic New Orleans dishes.
I had a chance to taste most of the restaurant’s current dishes at an opening event recently, and found that even in small, bite-sized portions, the flavors were excellent. This isn’t the best time to open a new restaurant, and the location could be a challenge, but if Farrell delivers on the taste I had of the food, it should be a success. Call 586-8000 for reservations and more information.
