Rouge
480 Columbus Ave., Boston, (617) 867-0600.Not cheap, but cheaper than its parent, Tremont 647, Rouge is a subtle tribute to New Orleans. They don't hammer the traditional dishes, just refer to them in such genial, southern-inflected plates as the poached oysters "coubion," fried green tomatoes, braised veal cheeks (just do it, you won't regret it), knife-and-fork fried chicken, and lemon meringue tart. There's no dress code, but the inside really is like New Orleans, so you could consider a little frippery or Mardi Gras beads. Full review.
Price range for entrées: $14 - $20.
