The Chef's Playground tasting menu offers an experimental journey through contemporary Creole cooking that consistently stuns diners with innovation on their plates. Beyond culinary delights, Commander's Palace stands at a prime location surrounded by the area's historic mansions and the famous Lafayette Cemetery, adding to its unique ambiance.
