"Marti reopened after Katrina in the French Quarter in a spot on the top side that is a bit off the beaten track. Because of this, it is having trouble finding its niche. Add to that the construction on the new Rampart streetcar line, and it is a recipe for failure. However, with the new chef and an unbelievable menu, this restaurant must survive. The construction will be done in the next year, and I hope locals will continue to dine here to help the restuarant survive. It is an old piece of New Orleans' history with a beautiful dining room and ambiance that cannot be beat. Add to that a great bar with happy hour specials and the new chef with a local, fresh menu, excellent;y prepared and served food! I would encourage all tourist to check out the Rampart corridor and Marti for a great experience. I highly recommend and I am a local."
