Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in French Quarter

A remarkable resturant. Terrence served our table professionally, and kindly. he was wonderful to us. The food came out promptly, and was marvelously prepared. Very flavorful, and delicious. We will go back many times. the resturant was full, perhaps 500 diners. The kitchen, and staff handled it superbly, and professionally. A top 5 dining experience.

I would 100.000% recommend this place. My first time experience in New Orleans and booked a couple of tourist places to go to. I was with my 16 year old daughter on this trip. I appreciated their customer service I didn’t like the table I was initially taken to but it was not a problem when I asked for another table and they didn’t make it an issue. My waiters working together Lionel and Monique made it the best day for us. Super friendly, efficient and going the extra mile to make us feel at home. I even taught Monique a couple of my native language Xhosa phrases. The trio band was the cherry on top. They performed my song request and were happy to take photos with us. The food was great too.

Everything was fantastic from the second we walked in the door. We sat in the piano bar and enjoyed it very much. Our server was outstanding with service and recommendations.

There were 8 of us and the Revellion menu had something for us all. Not one of the group was dissatisfied with any part of the meal. Two meals of particular brilliance were the chopping and the roasted duck. The ciopino was all Louisiana in style and in flavor. The roasted duck in a grape blueberry confit was genius and easily the best game bird I ever tasted. An honorable mention and very honorable indeed was the pork chop which was thick delicious and tender. Randy provided an excellent night of service, knowledgeable and attentive. A very professionable waiter.

Food and service were exceptional. We had the ceviche’ and lobster ravioli appetizers then ordered Hallibut with scallops and shrimp risotto — the signature dish — and the Parmesan-crusted sheepshead with lemon butter and browned capers served either asparagus as our main courses. Everything was perfectly prepared! We ordered 3 desserts to top it all off: the salty malty ice cream pie, the white chocolate bread pudding and the chocolate mouse in a dark chocolate dome with raspberry gelee’. Perfect evening. Except for learning at the end of the night that our parking would not be validated. We were not told to bring the parking ticket to the front desk at the beginning of the night. If you go to GW Finn’s and expect to get parking validated, do not pay the garage when you park (despite the fact that all of the signs in the garage and the boots on cars are somewhat threatening in there). Instead, take your unpaid parking garage ticket directly to the front desk at the restaurant for validation with a picture of your license plate. This was the only sour note of our evening. Otherwise, it was perfect!
