Best Vietnamese - West Bank?
I think a couple on the Westbank are good:
Nine Roses
Tan Dinh
I've been reading good things about Kim Son in Gretna, but haven't gone there yet.

So far...August & Brigtsens....need help
August will be fine dining; Brigstens will offer fine dining without the surroundings. Both will be major meals.
Herbsaint is the most casual of the list you're posted. Le Foret is French fine dining, and I don't think they offer lunch on the weekends. MiLa is actually attached to a hotel, too; their prices do reflect their location, but I don't think their menu isn't something you can enjoy in other parts of the country. The same for Stella, and the service is too uneven for me at Bayona.
How formal do you like brunch?

Honestly ?
I moved here several months ago form SF, and haven't had the chance to have any sushi - This thread is a heartbreaker, for sure.
Lillette
Not having been to Lilette, but speaking as a seasoned diner, 'hanging out' works for seating at the bar. The staff is there for you to have a pleasant experience, but the mangement is expecting to turn over that table 2-3 times in the evening.
