Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in West Bank

The food was wonderful but there were long delays in service and at times we thought we were invisible. But the waiters were working hard. They just seemed overwhelmed.

In every way this was an outstanding experience. The food is creative and has hints of the local flavors. The ambience is fun, casual, quirky, yet an upscale feel also. We enjoyed every aspect of our brunch. Wish we were here long enough for a dinner reservation. Highly recommend. Service also was excellent. You get real professional service here.

We have always enjoyed the Pelican Club; it never disappoints. The food was excellent again, and brought out perfectly timed. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive, and gladly gave suggestions when asked. We sat in the room between the bar and the main dining room, which we loved because it wasn’t too loud. Highly recommend this gem that doesn’t get enough attention, in my opinion.

Copper Vine is a lovely place in the CBD. We were seated immediately in one if the two rear dining rooms. It was not crowded. Our appetizers: the onion soup (delicious), the crawfish beignets (delicious) and the fried oysters and pork bellies (the oysters were small and disappointing) Our mains: short rib pasta (great flavor but the entree arrived very lukewarm), arugula salad with added oysters (oysters were not disappointing) and the scallops risotto tasty (also not very warm). We mentioned to cold entrees and the manager to make up for it compted dessert which was very nice and very delicious. All in all, I would recommend Copper Vine.

We had been waiting for so long to go to Shaya! It was a beautiful restaurant with attention to details and amazing service! The fried chicken hummus was incredible and by far our favorite…nothing like it we have ever tried! Comparable to a hummus from a Michelin restaurant in DC…definitely a must try on Shaya’s menu! Can’t wait to return here next time we are in New Orleans!
