Yet again Revivialist stands out! My sister and I dined there 01Jan2025 as a New Year treat and I’m so glad we did. The baked goat cheese appetizer was outstanding! My sister got the sea bass and asparagus which she said was good, well prepared but just a tad “flat”. Could have used some dill or a light sauce just to take it from good to “delicious”. I got the salmon and broccolini. I was wanting something not too heavy and I’m glad I chose the salmon. Y’all- it was delicious! The entire plate was so well balanced, and cohesive! Well done Revivalist! One final thing. If you like whiskey sours, do yourself a favor and get one here. They are the best in town AND will do the egg white topper if requested. I “docked” my star rating only because they do not serve sweet tea. Any restaurant in the South, no matter how good the food is, should be serving really good sweet tea. A minor thing but southerners notice. Otherwise, an outstanding experience and we’ll be back!

This review is from the pop up Christmas bar. The decorations and ambiance were festive and enjoyable with lots of photo opportunities. They are reservation only and everyone is ID checked at the door. The staff were attentive but not over bearing. There was a mixture of holiday drink styles and all were served with festive touches. The only food we ordered from the limited menu was the Christmas cookie platter. The cookies were warm which was a nice touch. While there was music playing it wasn’t so loud we couldn’t converse with our table mates. The prices were not what we consider high, not considering the location in downtown. We understand the blind tiger also puts on other bars and events and will absolutely consider returning.

We had fun eating at Amerigo. We were seated promptly and treated well. I recommend it. The caesar side salad was good. The steak cooked to perfection. We didn't find lasagna on the menu, which was a surprise. We found offerings that were very tasty.

My husband and I enjoy Ruth Chris Steak House every Christmas. It always has excellent food and service making it our special occasion place. It is expensive. We always enjoyed the previous location at the Embassy Hotel because of the elegant ambiance and quiet, private dining. The current crowded seating in a strip center is not right for fine dining. I understand that they may be moving. Hope they find a better location.

We loved our time at Char today, and Cassidy did an exceptional job as our server. The NOLA shrimp and blueberry bread pudding were perfect bookends to our meal. A+
