- CChuckvipNew Orleans / Louisiana •12 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe Papillion salad and special spinach salad were wonderful. The duck confit was one of the best I’ve had. The shrimp scampi was good, but at $35 for five shrimp over pasta, it earned the low rating for value. Our server, Savannah, was extremely nice and greatly attentive. The manager stopped by to say hello. A nice touch. Overall, a beautiful experience. I do wonder if in the future the menu might include different seafood dishes. We’d be more tempted to return if there were more seafood choices.More infoPapillon'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Mandeville•4.7
