Low-key travelers should ask for a hushed interior room deep in the property.

Ask to be as far away from Bourbon Street as possible to avoid street noise.

Gulf yellowfin tuna crudo with compressed pineapple makes for a light starter, while heartier appetites may choose a slow-cooked rack of Niman Ranch lamb.
