Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Central Business District

We had the red beans and rice, shrimp and grits and jambalaya. The only complaints: jambalaya was a little cool and the shrimp were over cooked. Also, the oyster happy hour was at the bar and we weren't told until we sat at a table. Wife was not happy as this was not mentioned on the website. Otherwise, the oysters were huge and the food was great.

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.

Copper Vine was a wonderful experience. We came here for dinner on Christmas Day. The seared scallop risotto was outstanding and my daughter said the short rib burger was one of the best she’s ever had. We shared the bananas foster for dessert and it was fabulous. A great find and someplace we hope to visit again the next time we’re in New Orleans.

We went for lunch on Christmas Day. Their Christmas day menu was fantastic. All the food was delicious. We appreciated the extras such as the little charcuterie board and the bread. The staff was friendly and treated us very well. I only wish that they didn’t automatically add a tip to the check especially since there were just two of us.

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.
