The Gregory, the signature restaurant of the upscale Watermark Hotel, transformed a space formerly occupied by the Louisiana National Bank.

For example, there’s a banana pain perdu with wild flour brioche infused with vanilla and cinnamon and topped with banana Foster syrup. The hot brown south is another stand-out dish comprising braised turkey, bacon, pimento cheese sauce and charcoal-roasted green tomatoes over brioche.
