Annunciation

Beautiful restaurant with outstanding food and excellent service. The ambiance was very romantic. We definitely will be back!!

I am torn about this review, because the Beef Wellington was so good it saved the experience! It's the only reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of 2. Every year I book a reservation for a fancy dinner on Christmas Eve in honor of my deceased mother, I saw this menu online and was VERY excited. When I got served the "Amuse Bouche" and it was bruschetta that was dry and basic, I was very upset, immediately. Second course (appetizer) was Stuffed Shrimp for my friend, and a boring, basic, good tasting but unimpressive Shrimp and Corn Bisque. I was again, very upset. This is supposed to be a HOLIDAY MEAL at a fancy restaurant, and I get a small cup of basic soup when my friend gets this amazing shrimp appetizer??? Are you kidding me?Third course (Entree), was the Beef Wellington... let me just say, when I took my first bite, I was blown away! I was over the moon happy by this DELICIOUS Wellington!!! It saved the entire meal, and I am SO serious! I went from ready to complain, to happy as a clam! The staff were so wonderful when I asked for extra gravy! Thank you!Fourth Course (Dessert), Tiramisu! This was amazing it was very flavorful, cocoa, espresso, it was amazing!Staff: our waiter was Sam, and he was WONDERFUL! The host, I don't know his name, I asked for the larger more comfortable chair, as I'm plus size and have a back injury, and he argued and gave reason why I couldn't use it and the eventually agreed when I pushed back, only because the chairs they had were terrible!Over all, I enjoyed the entree and the dessert, the bill was $120 after tip, $100 before tip, and I do NOT think it was worth it, but I'd have ordered that beef Wellington ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!

I ordered etoufee and it was more of a shrimp soup. Service was slow . Appetizers were also jsut ok. The best part was their martinis. All in all nice clean restaurant . food needs flavor

A gem slightly out of the French Quarter's. Had a group of from out of town and lost cleanup on this local spot. A complimentary dish of hot bruschetta (I know) might have been the star of the evening. Light, fluffy French breasted with tomato slices , melted cheese and a medley mix of spices. YumWe had beautiful fish, oysters 3 ways and a delightful evening.service was rather slow but we had a large table and were in no hurry. I look forward to a return visit

Excellent service on a busy weekend ! Our waiter Patrick was fantastic, very attentive and efficient.I loved the fresh pasta and didn't like the chicken at all. My husband liked his steak, and said it was ok.

Loved the food here after getting off the beaten path of New Orleans. Enjoyed the Veal Annunciation which was thinly pressed veal along with plump shrimp and petite crawfish in a nice seasoned sauce over pasta. Flavors melded together perfectly. For an appetizer I tried their fried oysters, a small and easy eating local oyster over bed of spinach or greens. Quaint and quiet for a Sunday night and had a great time and meal. Josh was the bartender and was friendly and very personable. Well worth the visit when downtown near the convention center or traveling around Nola

Cute intimate restaurant, good service but terribly salty food. One of the worst fancy meals of my life due to over-salting. I couldn't even eat and finish my salad or gumbo due to salt. Every single member of my 6 person party thought it was waaaawy too salty and couldn't finish their meal. If I were a braver person, I would have sent my food back. The gumbo- too salty. The shrimp salad: too salty and over-dressed/citrusy, inedible. I kid you not at one point I used water to wash off the shrimp, but even then it was too salty and I had to spit it out (must have been soaked in salt?) The most edible thing here was the bread and the chef's complimentary bruschetta they sent to the table.

It was our second time eating here, and it was just as good as we remembered. Only reason for 4 stars, is we were travelling with our 86 year old grandparents, and when we went in to our reservation, they wanted to seat us on the second floor, but told them they couldn't walk up two flights of stairs, so asked to be sat downstairs. The host seemed very annoyed at this simple request.But the wait staff, bartender, and cooks made up for that for sure! The whole meal was excellent, especially the creme brulee! I would go back again for sure!

Upon walking in, we were greeted warmly like "regulars", even though it was our first visit. Our server described the menu and specials in great detail...and provided straightforward opinions to our questions. The food was excellent. And...if you are a Wedge Salad person, it was served with a "gravy boat" of Blue Cheese Dressing!

Great food, great staff, and I thought the price was very reasonable. For example we both got entrees, appetizers, dessert, and drinks and we spent less there than we did the night before getting sushi (now, that might say something about my sushi intake but still...) We went on a date night on a random rainy Sunday night and made reservations but it probably wasn't needed, they were pretty empty when we arrived but started to pick up as we were eating. The restaurant itself was nice, in a cool little building. We will definitely be back.
