Brennan is simply the best restaurant in New Orleans. Every part our dining experience was perfect from being greeted at reception to having our server help my husband on with his coat. The menu choices are amazing. My husband is still talking about his redfish choice. I chose duck. It’s the best I have ever tasted. Our waiter was so friendly. We had so many different servers attending to every need imaginable. What a delightful special place to have experienced. I can’t wait to go back.

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.

Our reservations were for 12:45 pm. We only waited about 5 minutes to be seated. That was a true indication that the experience would be great. It was excellent. The food and service were beyond my expectations. The steak melts in your mouth. The presentation looked like the cover of a food magazine. And yes, I would recommend Saltgrass to anyone who is looking for an excellent dining experience.
