Crawfish & Capellini

If you're looking for a restaurant that exudes summertime, head to The Country Club in the Bywater. An embodiment of the balance between sophistication and revelry that New Orleans does so well, The Country Club adds a fun twist to the traditional dining experience. A classic center hall home has been transformed into a whimsical and colorful restaurant with hand-painted floral murals and various works from local artists, providing a welcoming and cheerful environment for diners be it brunch, lunch, or dinner. The menu boasts a variety of dishes that spotlight local ingredients, such as the seasonal grilled gulf fish served over brussels sprouts, charred kale, and roasted squash; the garden harvest salad bursting with fresh vegetables all dressed in a bright honey- lemon vinaigrette; and the crawfish & capellini, a light pasta dish filled with Louisiana crawfish, smoky tasso, asparagus, and topped with a lemon gremolata. And, because this is New Orleans after all, don't forget to ask about pairings from their award-winning wine program. They even offer their own house label wines with a new exclusive wine created just for the club. For those who finish up with lunch and want to spend the rest of their day soaking up some summertime sun, The Country Club is the place for that too. Out back, guests will find a hidden oasis complete with pool and its own poolside bar and grill – who would ever want to leave?
