- RRhondaNew Orleans / Louisiana •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWonderful experience from the front door throughout! The ambiance was 5 Stars. We made reservations for Thanksgiving dinner (night) and were greeted and seated quickly. The waiter (Devon) and his partner were great in explaining options and key items, including taking note of allergies at the table. The food options were great and plentiful. We started with crab fingers and Pork Belly over cheese grits. Followed by the Turducken with cranberry sauce, sweet potato souffle, and oyster dressing. The second plate of Turducken came with spinach, crab mac, and cheese, which were all very tasty. We were full and had to take our desserts to go. The wait staff was pleasant, attentive, swift, and responsive. I really appreciated the level of service and quality. I highly recommend it and will return when I am back in town!More infoLukePrice: Moderate• French• Central Business District•4.6
- DDebiHouston •12 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoCopper Vine has been on my NOLA eatery wish list for years… it did not disappoint! It came up on my Google search for restaurants open on Thanksgiving and I decided to make a reservation for our family. Love the decor and the restaurant’s atmosphere. Sunny, our server was wonderful! We ordered all of the shareables that she recommended and everything was spot-on! Our mains were delicious too, but we were too full to order dessert. Each one of us will return!More infoCopper VinePrice: Moderate• Wine Bar• Central Business District•4.8
- KKimberlyvipKansas City / Kansas •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur experience at Muriel's is always good. We went for Thanksgiving and were very pleased. The staff was very friendly and did a stellar job of managing all of the patrons. The food was good. Our only complaint was that our broccolini was ice cold, but we didn't go there for that. 🙂 Honestly, with such a huge crowd, we were delighted that this was our only gripe. Well done Muriel's!More infoMuriel's Jackson SquarePrice: Very Expensive• Creole / Cajun / Southern• French Quarter•4.7
- JJean tMiami - Dade •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWhen booking with OpenTable, we weren't able to get a reservation until 815. We are from Eastern standard time so we're quite hungry. We stopped in at 5:30 to see if we could change our reservation and they were able to change it to 630. So polite and accommodating from the first moment. The service was exquisite, so friendly and happy. I wish I had gotten the waitress's name. And everyone was happily accommodating when my daughter wanted her steak cooked a little bit more. My lobster was fantastic. Perfectly cooked. Just wish it had been bigger. Overall worthy expense and fun to go to old historic restaurant.

- LHLH11Las Vegas •16 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoDarla and Daniel were incredible waiters. Knowledgeable, great interaction. Food was perfect! Fried oysters with tasso gravy reduction was bomb. For those who don't know, tasso is Cajun smoked pork legs with extremely deep smoke. Then duck confit, thigh and drumb. Finished with peppermint ice cream and glacee drizzled with chocolate.More infoAntoine'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.6
