Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Harvey

We had a reservation for three and we’re seated on-time in the main dining room. We started off with cocktails and the Waygu Beer Carpaccio dish with beets. The appetizer was absolutely delicious with the acid of the beets nicely pairing with the flavors of the thinly sliced Waygu beef… the dish was topped with fried shallots that provided a nice texture as well as additional flavor profiles. Our second course was the Turtle Soup. The soup was absolutely delicious with pulled meat in the dish along with a nice amount of dry sherry… we had the same soup the night before at Commander’s and Atchafalaya made this dish much better!!! For the meal, I had the pan seared Gulf fish. The fish was prepared to perfection… my husband and father had the Duck Confit which was as also perfectly done. The wait staff was wonderful… they kept the water glasses and wine glasses full and offered insightful comments on the menu items. Overall the meal was fantastic… the ambience and noise level were great… we were able to enjoy a meal together with a wonderful conversation even my father with hearing aides was able to hear the conversation and participate! I highly recommend Atchafalaya for that special meal or just a night out with the girls… you will love your meal and experience.

Absolutely outstanding. The drink specials were awesome, the apps shared were crawfish beignets, Brussels sprouts and fig and goat cheese flat bread were top notch. Entrees varied and enjoyed by all: chicken sandwich, redfish dish, short rib dish, steak &. Frites, gumbo, beet salad and scallion soup. Desserts were the finishing touches. All plates were cleared and we left very happy and satisfied.

Brennan’s is always a good choice for brunch! The dining area started off quiet… but got a bit noisy towards the end. I wish there was better noise absorbing surfaces to help manage the noise levels… my 70+ Father who joined my husband and I for brunch really struggled to hear us and had to keep adjusting his hearing aides to be able to try and enjoy our conversations… The food and service did not disappoint! I had the Crab & Avocado toast with a poached egg on top, my husband had the Duck Confit Hash and my father had the Eggs St. Charles. All were very good! We ordered the Brabant Potatoes for the table…. And as always they were out of this world!!! The coffee was brewed to perfection and the service was impeccable… overall a great meal, just a little noisy.

I’ve submitted several reviews, as I eat here a good bit. It’s silly excellent, still my favorite. There’s a wide variety of Gulf oysters from which to choose. The seafood gumbo is my favorite in the city, really rich & full of protein. I had the Speckled Trout Amandine, which I had not tried before, & it was quite good. In short, it’s always a great meal at Luke, & I’ll keep coming back until they give me a reason not to.

My basil spaghetti was delicious as was the duck confit eaten by another diner. Another diner had speckled trout which he was unimpressed with. Parts of the fish were undercooked and some parts were overcooked.
