My hubby and I have been coming here for several years. It is absolutely one of the finest restaurants we have ever eaten at (and we have traveled and eaten all over the world.) Charming atmosphere, fabulous staff who are knowledgeable, fun, engaging and attentive. The food is phenomenal - delicious and inventive, always fresh. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this restaurant is! Don’t miss it when in New Orleans!

Copper Vine was delightful. The Redfish was outstanding. My friend had the shrimp and mushroom risotto and loved it. The atmosphere and service was a 10 out of 10!

    We had such a wonderful experience celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday! Everything from the atmosphere to the food and service was absolutely amazing. The evening was so special, and we truly enjoyed every moment. A special shoutout to the chef, whose cooking I’ve always loved! She never disappoints, and this evening was no exception. You can truly taste the love and care put into every dish. Thank you all for making such a special occasion even more memorable. We’ll definitely be back! 🤍

    Absolutely the best dining experience - it was raining but we had a pet, so accommodations were made for us to be outside. Staff was great and friendly. Food was excellent - the best cauliflower dish I have ever had, fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend and will go back.
