Somehow Domenica is always our group's happy place in New Orleans. It's in the elegant and historic Roosevelt Hotel and the restaurant shares the elegant design but somehow manages to be comfortably and neatly informal. The menu is not intimidating or too expensive and the food is excellent. Our waitress, Zia, was amazing, cheerful, friendly, and efficient. Everyone in our group is always happiest here and eager to return.
