New Orleans is renowned for its French cuisine, and you won’t have to leave the confines of The Eliza Jane to enjoy delicious fare within a French bistro. Couvant specializes in classic French cooking serving entrees that pay homage to French history and regional specialties. Never pretentious, the dishes and service at Couvant are purposefully simple and social. Nestle into an intimate dining room banquette.

    I enjoyed the spacious 1st floor dining space, and my waiter (Donny) was good. The food, an artichoke spaghetti dish, was unimpressive (not hot, noodles clumped together), but my dirty martini was on point! Their pre-dinner bread was great.

    We celebrated our first anniversary at the Grill Room and can easily say we’ve never had such a positive and delicious experience!! The staff were so friendly and professional, and made us feel so special— they even brought out some chocolate strawberries for us in celebration of our evening. The food and drinks were outstanding, and we enjoyed every single bite. It was such a lovely time, and we couldn’t recommend it more.

    Sat at the bar for an 8:30 reservation on Saturday night; delicious food, great craft cocktails and enjoyed the ambience inside. It was a quiet night so we had the place to ourselves for the most part. Enjoyed talking with guests who were staying at the W, and there were 3 different wedding 2nd lines that rolled by which was too fun! 10/10 Highly recommend.
