Best Date Night Restaurants in Venetian Isles

We ate in the bar which can be noisy, but we had a nice little corner table which felt intimate yet was still part of the bar experience. We had the wagyu burger with fries and the brussel sprouts. Both were excellent!

We went with the omakase option, and it was outstanding. All the food was delicious and you could see and taste the care and expertise. Our server was amazing. Able to answer all our questions and provide color with stories about the dishes and the restaurant. All set to the backdrop of New Orleans

We (7 of us) ate at Luke on Christmas Day. We were seated near the door which wasn’t ideal but wasn’t bad. The streetcar periodically going by made the noise level high because of our proximity to the door. The service was excellent in spite of it being a holiday and the restaurant being packed. The menu had nice variety. The two best items we had were the Crispy Brussel Sprouts and the Matzo Ball Soup. The worst thing we had was the Hanger Steak. It was ordered “medium” and came out bleeding. It was also rubbery. We returned it and that person ordered something else. They were completely okay with this and removed it from the bill. The Trout Almandine was good with the fish being extremely fresh. We recommend Luke and will return.

We had a wonderful Réveillon dinner experience at Tujague’s on Christmas Eve. The oysters Tujague’s were outstanding as were the duck leg confit and the short ribs. Our servers were friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. This was our first trip to New Orleans and our server even made some suggestions for other places to visit while in town. All in all it was a fantastic visit. We not only look forward to taking another trip to NOLA but making a return visit to Tujague’s as well.

Food was exceptional, as always. Home cow, the fried lobster rocks! Q was our server, and she was so sweet and attentive. We eill request her when we go back. They were quite busy, but we were seated right away. A very enjoyable evening!
