Not to sound dramatic but I literally had the best steak I have ever had here. The filet was so good (especially with the chimichurri). Service was really great, Santiago our server was very attentive and nice. Manager walking around was very nice and kept checking on all tables. We had bruschetta, yellowtail tuna, cauliflower, filet, and ube cheesecake and everything was so good! 10/10

Friendly service, good drinks, very good food. Highly recommend the beet and burrata dish as an appetizer. The roasted chicken and pompano were both delicious.

My wife, son, and I visited while on vacation for our 15th anniversary (wife and I of course, son is 5). Food was amazing and the staff were great. The history of the Bananas Foster makes the sugary dish even better… a must visit when in New Orleans.

We had an excellent experience at Copper Vine. We had a group of 5, and we didn’t have to wait long for service or our food. David was amazing! He was so friendly and welcoming. He made sure our group had everything we needed. David was prompt and professional.
