Recommended More Expensive Restaurants (Not in any order)...
Ralph's On The Park
Antoine's Restaurant
Brennan's
Galatoires Restaurant
Ruth's Chris Steakhouse
I Named just a few... Unless you are staying in the French Quarter and don't have transportation, don't dine in the French Quarter because some places are extremely expensive for what you get. Even the locals don't eat there.

One time I had just 3 shrimp for $22 in 2004. Unreal. There are some decent places but you must ask someone before you go anywhere.

Agreed on Galatoirs and Antoine’s. Not the best food anymore but they are true representatives of real New Orleans fine dining and have a style of service that is quickly becoming extinct.

If you want upscale Try
Costera for tapas- currently my favorite in Nola, portions are huge.

John Beshs’ Dominica at the Roosevelt for awesome upscale Italian and authentic Neapolitan pizza. Plus you just have to see the place and have a Sazerac in the Blue Room.

Alon Shayas’ Saba for Eastern Mediterranean

I got lots more just let me know

Agree with Dominica and Shaya's, although you almost have to know somebody to get into Shaya's. Fortunately my son's girlfriend worked there.
