Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Venetian Isles

Copper Vine was a wonderful experience. We came here for dinner on Christmas Day. The seared scallop risotto was outstanding and my daughter said the short rib burger was one of the best she’s ever had. We shared the bananas foster for dessert and it was fabulous. A great find and someplace we hope to visit again the next time we’re in New Orleans.

Restaurants on Christmas Day are always a gamble. Happy we chose Broussard’s this Christmas! Everyone was trying their best to make it a wonderful experience. From the pleasant greetings to the smiling faces everyone was doing their best to make sure we enjoyed our Christmas lunch. Wonderful experience!

We went for lunch on Christmas Day. Their Christmas day menu was fantastic. All the food was delicious. We appreciated the extras such as the little charcuterie board and the bread. The staff was friendly and treated us very well. I only wish that they didn’t automatically add a tip to the check especially since there were just two of us.

Excellent food — the Fried green tomato appetizer was the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly prepared and with shrimp! Lovely environs, delicious food, excellent table and bar service.

There were 8 of us and the Revellion menu had something for us all. Not one of the group was dissatisfied with any part of the meal. Two meals of particular brilliance were the chopping and the roasted duck. The ciopino was all Louisiana in style and in flavor. The roasted duck in a grape blueberry confit was genius and easily the best game bird I ever tasted. An honorable mention and very honorable indeed was the pork chop which was thick delicious and tender. Randy provided an excellent night of service, knowledgeable and attentive. A very professionable waiter.
