This place is truly an AMAZING hidden gem! Service: on point. Not a moment went by we didn't feel attended to. Drinks: unreal! The champs flights were so delicious and the servers did a great job of educating us on what we were sipping.Food: the food is shareable tapas and they came out in waves that were perfectly spaced. We loved the deviled eggs with caviar, the popcorn, and the cheese plate. Atmosphere: beautiful little patio outside or you can sit inside which is pretty and mood lighting! We will absolutely be back

Gorg decor, simple, elegant. Food is middle of the road. I found the truffle fries a bit soggy. The Brussel sprouts were crisp to perfection. Excellent wine list. Cocktails were also middle of the road. Staff was knowledgeable without being condescending.

Effervescence was such a highlight of our NOLA trip! In a city full of food and drink, this classy wine bar at the edge of the French Quarter is several cuts above in quality and service. The Champagne/sparking wine list is truly top-tier, and the food is A-MAZING. We are total bubbleheads and were delighted with flight options and new pours to try. The Chardonnay Showdown (absolute quality, well beyond the everyday) was our fave, but we also loved the Destination Bubbly (unique, delicious, adventurous), and if we had been in the mood for sparkling rose that day, we would have loved that flight, too.But even if you are not a Champagne superfan, there is lots to taste and try, including cocktails and still wine. And if you want to up your bubbly game, this is the place to do it. Owner Krystal is knowledgeable and friendly, as are the bartenders and chefs. Everyone is ready to answer questions, make recommendations or tell the story of a particular item. Start planning your visit to this dreamy Champagne bar!

Open welcoming room, great service and the wine is beautiful. I tried one of their bubble flights. Loved that the somm explained each glass and offered insights. Felt like a very personal experience. Will have to come back to try other grapes but this was just what I needed for a quiet evening.

The Mrs. and I had dinner last night at Effervescence. She had been wanting to try caviar so I thought why not try it in New Orleans.I've had caviar before. It can be a stuffy and pretentious experience so I was looking for something that was more approachable than the usual white apron and bow tie experience. We arrived at Effervescence early in the evening. We didn't have a reservation but were able to get seated right away. The hostess gave us the wine and champagne list, which is one if the most extensive I've seen as it relates to champagne, but also let us know that if we wanted regular cocktails they can make them for us. Indeed ordered a Templeton Rye Manhattan and the Mrs. ordered a Bombay Sapphire Martini. Both were beautifully crafted ad my Manhattan was one of the smoothest I've had.The hostess, who I think is one of the owners, stopped by to check on us. Then we discussed caviar. Since it was the Mrs.'s first time the hostess went over the three options available to us. Some caviar can taste overly fishy and the consistency can be kind of grainy or make you think you're chomping on pellets. We chose the Kaluga Caviarr which are large charcoal grey eggs that can best be described as buttery. I previously had caviar that was served on bilinis. This seems to be the norm but not the rule. Effervescence is a little more casual in their approach in that they serve it with house potato chips(both regular and spicy) as well as the usual crème fraiche and chives. It was wonderful!Eating caviar off of potato chips takes away the pretentiousness of the whole experience but so does the atmosphere at Effervescence. It isn't stuffy or pretentious. You can dress casual and you don't have to order champagne if you don't want to. Thus, going against the caviar code. For dessert we had the Stawberry and Pistachio Rosewater Chantilly Cream for dessert. FYI-last night was the last time it will be on the menu. It was probably the best dessert I've ever had. The service we received from Dylan and the rest of the staff was incredible. We were left alone and not rushed. Effervescence sits in the outskirts of the French Quarter. It was about a 15 minute walk from our hotel and can easily be walked to from anywhere in the French Quarter.

AMAZING. I've visited NOLA before and recently returned for my bachelorette party. We explored every tourist attraction (swamp tour, "world's best" bars, burlesque shows, James Beard restaurants, and more), and this experience was by far our favorite. The champagne was top-notch, and the food surpassed every restaurant we tried. GET THE FOOD. Also, shoutout to the owner (Crystal) who went above and beyond to craft a customized menu at an incredibly reasonable price. If you're with a fun group and want exceptional drinks, dishes, and service, this is THE place. If I lived nearby, I'd be a regular. Highly recommend for bachelorettes, birthdays, or any girl's nights.

My mom and I popped in here for a snack. It's super unassuming from the outside but a beautiful space on the inside!The staff was friendly and I love that they use champs cages as napkin rings.My mom and I shared a beautiful tomato salad, which I'm not seeing on the menu now; perhaps it's seasonal? It was delicious.We also got the grilled half-wheel of cheese. We got the brillat-savarin, which we met in NOLA and have been obsessed with ever since.I got a few different glasses of bubbles, all were delicious of course.Definitely recommend!

This is such a fun girly place for drinks and appetizers. Our server was a doll! She took great care of my friend for the first stop on her birthday tour! I love the small bites and sparkling flights!

Great experience. They had a wonderful selection of sparkling wine and cocktails and the snacks were superb. There were quite a few vegan options including a vegan cheese and a mushroom steak in addition to popcorn with nooch, almonds and olives. The Brussel sprouts can also be made vegan and were delightful! The aloe from the other side was a delicious cocktail I would highly recommend. We wanted to sit in the courtyard but due to the weather had to sit inside but we got a lovely spot by a window looking out at the recently recommissioned rampart street car line. I would definitely recommend this spot for a date or girls night especially if you have vegans in your group!

Friday might have been my best day so far this year: Effervescence now has a vegan cheese wheel. It's a black ash smokey cashew cheese that's grilled and served with sticky barhi dates and crostini. As if I didn't love Effervescence enough with its glorious Champagne and tantalizing house popcorn greatness. And shaved truffle pomme frites (finally got to indulge in these. No, not that synthetic oil. The real deal).As if I'm not writing a novel where, a good portion of the action takes place here.As if I don't have deep, deep love already. Now they go ahead and put a delectable vegan cheese on the menu. I think I cried a little bit when our phenomenal server told us about it.Customer forever.
