Restaurant R'evolution - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Really wonderful, top quality restaurant. We originally had dinner reservations, but we ended up coming in early for happy hour, and watching their bartending master Sheila make up a huge array of craft cocktails; incredibly impressive. I had the R'evolution which was beautiful and delicious, and my husband had their classic sazerac. We ordered a half dozen of their red oysters on the half shell, which were so fresh and incredible; a dozen fried oysters which were really unique and delicious. We each tried a crab beignet - rich, but good, and the hot crab claws - beautifully presentation and very flavorful. Loved the ambiance; will definitely return! read more

The Good: The short rib and the red dish were cooked perfectly! Our dining room was tastefully decorated with lovely murals and green trim. The Not So Good: I was a little nervous when I ordered the oysters when the waiter had to confirm them had them in stock. Fortunately they came through and they were tasty. As we were in Louisiana I would have been really surprised that they had run out of such a staple! The Ugly: Being asked to wait in the bar until our table was free is never my favorite way to start my dining experience - especially when I've made a reservation well in advance and restaurants are short on grace periods. I presume they may have been short on staff and not a repeatable occurrence . read more

The good, the bad, and the ugly. Very little was above average. The ambience is great, the music is lively, the decor is warm and centered around Louisiana history. The mirror in the main room has their turtle soup recipe. I'll never fall in line with the cloves in turtle soup. Commander's does turtle soup best. Our waiters were nice, but faltered when asking questions about the mixed drinks and some of the food items. They need to get the fruit fly problem under control. They've been here the last three times we've been. The Escape drink is very refreshing albeit extremely petite. The Old Fashion was made better when they brought back the straight whiskey and put the mix and the cherry in it. Skip the bloody Mary. Nothing special. Ask for Cajun seasoning around the rim - it needs it. The amuse bouche was ok. It was goat cheese on a cracker. Nothing more, nothing less. The bread service is phenomenal. Their homemade hot biscuits are excellent and the choice of the three whipped butters is exceptional. The selection is Cajun spiced, Stein's cane syrup, and traditional whipped butter. The blue crab fritters are getting shakier every time we get them. I understand delicately frying something, but these need more of a crisp. They are barely a solid. The blackened crab claws are good. Mike Anderson's fried crab claws are decidedly better. The Death by Gumbo is fine. It's certainly not the best, second, or third best I've had, heck it's not even in the top ten. We had to wait a full six minutes after the quail was placed before us before the actual gumbo was poured over it. John Folse knows gumbo is serviced from a west African word for okra - there is no okra in this soup. For that matter, there was only one tiny oyster. A better name might be the "Death of Gumbo." Mama made it better fo sho. The red fish is once again good. It was a little crispy which was nice. The sauce should be poured over the fish. The carrots do not add anything to the dish. The spaghetti puttanesca is very nice. I would get this again. It's spicy, garlicky, and the pasta was al dente. Nice. The Brussels sprouts are fine. They're not great. They're not terrible. The sprouts are undercooked and could do with a bit of balsamic vinegar. The tropical bread pudding is good. Ask for extra ice cream. Insult to injury. We had a birthday at our table. Told them when we made the reservation. They confirmed it upon check-in. The waiter said happy birthday. That was it. Two other tables had birthdays and received desserts. Nothing here. Typical. The Irish coffee comes out in a cappuccino cup. Truly skip. Not good. The exclamation to the meal. What saddens me the most is hearing tourists saying the food is fantastic - bless their hearts. They don't know any better, cher. read more

It was my SO's birthday and he had never been to Restaurant R'evolution so we decided to celebrate there. They have free valet parking which is super convenient in the quarter. We arrived early so we enjoyed a drink in the bar before being seated. I made reservations for the chef's table, which is always fun seeing into the kitchen. They started us off with an amuse bouche - mine being cucumber and jelly since I'm allergic to shrimp. It was a delicious bite. Our waiter Dashaun was amazing and helped us with our choices. We ordered the Nola Hot Crab Claws to start and what a start it was! The crab claws were coated in dry spicy rub with a slaw in the center. He had accidentally put in an order of the Blue Crab Beignets, so he gave it to us on the house. Each beignet came with its own remoulade and they were delicious and packed with blue crab. Our final appetizer was the death by gumbo - smoky and delicious with the rice stuffed into the quail. For my entree I went with the visiting fish which was a Chilean sea bass with a chive beurre blanc, carrot foam, and some white asparagus. The beurre blanc and carrot foam paired nicely with the fish and I enjoyed every bite. Since it was my SO's birthday and we were also celebrating a year of owning our house they brought us each a little dessert to celebrate. When they bring the check, they also bring what looks like a cute jewelry box and each drawer contains delicious little goodies to finish off your dinner. The service and food were impeccable and I can't wait for us to have another celebration dinner here in the future. read more

Couldn't remember if I had been here before so decided to fix it one way or another and have my birthday dinner here. I'm leaning towards I hadn't been here because that was memorable. We booked the chefs table so we could see some of the cooking going on. Very cool inside looked like each room had a theme. Our waiter Dashaun was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and helped us with a tie breaker between two items. We started with crab claws and death by gumbo. They made the beignets by accident and comped them and brought our crab claws as well so we got to try both! Crab claws were amazing it had like a Cajun dry rub on it stacked around a good citrusy slaw mix. Beignets were also very good had 4 distinct remoulades. Think my favorite was a green onion one. Death by gumbo was rich and flavorful. Rice was stuffed in the quail just tear that thing apart and mix it in. For my main went with the wild boar mostly because I've never seen or had that before. It was almost more on the beef side flavor wise. More earthy and not as light as a pork. It melted in my mouth and the bbq sauce that came with it I wish I could buy a bottle. They brought me some good little ice cream cookies with a happy birthday chocolate on top, which was cool. Also, ordered a scoop of coffee toffee ice cream to finish off the meal. Very light and refreshing. read more

Things that went well: Our server, Heath, was fantastic. Charismatic and kind, me made us feel right at home. The space is lovely and elegant. I enjoyed being able to see the kitchen staff from the dining room. The muse was tasty and fun. The wild boar was very tasty and unique. My companion ordered this and I wish I had ordered it too as it was nicely done. Now, for the reason I went with four stars: I ordered the filet and it was underwhelming to say the least. Bland and dry. Not something I would recommend. I also tried the n/a placebo. It was beautiful but didn't taste good. This place is high end and prices reflect that but the food was just fine. The wild boar was tasty but the portion quite small. I don't know that we will be back but I will say the staff are fantastic and made our experience enjoyable for an otherwise forgettable meal. read more

We dropped into restaurant for happy hour hopefully I can return to review to experience their full menu. Entree prices on the high end but my guess is it's worth the money. We had appetizers of crab Benoit absolutely delicious and filet slices on baguette very yummy. If I come to New Orleans again it will be a definite dinner stop! read more

Came to dine on MLK day. They have a bar side and a spacious restaurant side. We were seated in the corner booth. For drinks, we ordered only jams and the revolution, which both of them are on the sweeter side. For food, we ordered rabbit confit. Underneath the rabbit were spaetzle, spinach, roasted mushrooms. It was my first time having spaetzle and rabbit and they were good! The rabbit tasted a bit like tougher chicken meat. Another dish we ordered was fire roasted short ribs. The color was pretty uniform. Taste wise, it was good. We also got pre apps. One of us was allergic to shrimp so they substituted the item. For soup, we got the lobster bisque! We were sharing so the crew split the soup for us. For sides, we ordered whipped potatoes and grilled asparagus. The whipped potatoes is so good!! I like the asparagus without too much hollandaise sauce. For dessert, we ordered creme brulee. It came in such a cute presentation! Almost too cute to eat! Also afterwards, we had small ice cream treat because it was a birthday celebration. After that, we were presented with a 3 layered chest box with various pastries and we tried our first pralines there. The staff was very patient to explain to us which pastries are in the boxes. Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant!! read more

If dining in New Orleans is an art form, then Restaurant R'evolution is currently housing a masterpiece. My wife and I made our reservations months in advance--a necessary strategic move for a kitchen of this caliber--and were fortunate to secure a 5:15 PM seating. From the moment we were greeted by a lovely hostess and tucked into a perfectly intimate corner niche, we knew we were in for something beyond a standard meal. The Service: A Choreographed Production While the food is the soul of R'evolution, Travis (Lead) and Isaac (Support) are its heartbeat. Their performance was the epitome of legendary Southern hospitality. Travis is a true professional; after a brief conversation, he intuitively decoded our taste profiles and curated our entire evening. He guided us to the Vieux Carré--a sophisticated, superior evolution of the Old Fashioned--and navigated us through a menu of heavy hitters to ensure the volume and progression of food were exactly right. Throughout the night, Travis and Isaac provided the rich context and storytelling that turned a dinner into a theatrical production. The Culinary Journey The Prelude: After a vibrant cucumber shooter palate cleanser, we were served airy brioche and buttermilk biscuits. The accompanying trio of whipped butters--Sweet Cream, Cajun Spiced, and a transformational Maple Syrup Butter--set a high bar for what was to follow. The Openers: Travis suggested the Fire Roasted Oysters topped with crab meat and a half-order of Beignets. The oysters were incredibly tender, and the beignets were a revelation of cheesy goodness wrapped in a sweet, pillowy dough. The Main Event: We shared the Redfish, served with a crispy skin over a silky turnip puree with a tableside Béarnaise pour. We paired this with the Hellcat accompaniment--a crock overflowing with seasoned shrimp and crab. The balance of the sweet puree with the richness of the seafood was flawless. The Grand Finale The wine pairings Travis selected for dessert were nothing short of "spot on": Banana Bread Pudding (with vanilla wafer and rum sauce) paired with the Rare Wine Company "Boston Boal" Madeira. Maple Crème Brûlée (with pistachio ice cream) paired with a 2011 Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes. We finished with a "chest of cookies"--a final, elegant touch as we settled the tab. Chef Folse, you have built a temple of Creole and Cajun elegance, but it is professionals like Travis and Isaac who bring your vision to life for your guests. The value-to-cost ratio is exceptional for this level of execution. We will return the very next time we find ourselves in the French Quarter. read more

Phenomenal food. The death by gumbo and redfish were standouts and some of the best food I've had. The black linguine with lobster was good nothing special though especially for the price point... The sauce was standout and carried the dish hardcore. The wine pairing was absolutely on point. Got the Madeira paired with the gumbo and it was unique and amazing. Most of the staff was superrrrr cool and helpful. The hostesses were kind of standoffish but not a huge deal. The timing of things was a little off as well. We were about done with our death by gumbo and then had to remind them about the wine pairing before we got it. It also took a while between when we were seated and when we actually got dinner menus. They just kept asking us about drinks and I guess it's on us but we eventually spoke up and just asked for food menus. No notes about ambiance, super pretty inside, just a very elegant vibe. read more

Phenomenal experience! Staff was absolutely amazing in providing an A+ experience from beginning to end. Food was outstanding and experienced rib-eye (39 days aging), Cajun lobster tail, shallot, roasted garlic, butter blue crab, bone marrow, riced stuffed quail gumbo, oysters, and lobster w/ black pasta (see pics). Beautiful setting in close proximity to Bourbon street (1/2 block away). Best dinner we had here in New Orleans, and we ate at several amazing restaurants.Ohhhh, and desserts!!! read more

I wish I could give this place more than 5 starts. Everything about this dinner was remarkable. The food was incredible! Perfect portions and packed with flavor! They start you off with incredibly soft biscuits with 3 different butter options; original, sweet, and Cajun. For appetizers we ordered the crab beignets and short rib boudin. Very delicious! For dinner my partner ordered the Chef's special Chilean Sea-bass and I ordered the Fire-Roasted Short Rib. We ate every last bite! For dessert we went back and forth before ultimately going with the Maple Crème Brulee. It was one of the best desserts I've had the pleasure of tasting. We almost went back the next night just to order the dessert. The restaurant itself was very spacious and had a modern feel to it. The service was INCREDIBLE. We had Ricky and Evan and they took our experience to the next level. WILL be back!!! read more

The ambiance was exquisite. Great lighting, music and decor. The service was top tier as well. Server was prompt, ensuring we got everything we needed. Water never ran low, empty plates didn't sit for long, and never felt rushed to get out of there. A+ experience. The food was delectable. The death by gumbo is a must. The Hot Crab Claws were spicy, not overwhelming, and had a hint of brown sugar that gave it a hint of sweetness. The Hangar steak was done to perfection and not on our radar until the waiter gave her rundown of the menu. So if you don't know what to get, ask! The staff knows the menu better than you ever will. Get a reservation, leave your ballcap and flip flops at home. Wear something presentable, with a collar and you'll 100% have a great time at this establishment. read more

Having visited several fine dining establishments in the surrounding area, R'evolution has the best team members, hands down! The service was attentive, comical, and helpful. We enjoyed our dining experience primarily because of the staff. The food took a backseat to the service but most of it was still enjoyable. The red snapper, crab beignets, and all of the cocktails were delicious and perfect. I do not recommend the lobster linguine. The establishment is adequately decorated and comfortable. There are considerations for comfort made and side tables for your handbag. I would definitely return to make a night of it with the team members and cocktails but would visit other establishments for food. read more

Went for my birthday dinner and will say I was surprised by both the service and food. I was afraid the food would be overpriced mini bites, but because of the death by gumbo rave, I had to try. We were weirdly surprised by the cucumber dish before our dinner, but the cucumber packed a punch in the mouth and gut with a pleasant flavor that makes you crave more. I also cant say no to the complimentary bread/biscuits and 3-type butters. My friends did not particularly like the two flavored butters, but I did as butter is my best friend. The dishes are small, so we decided to order multiple dishes to share. By the end we were all full! Crab beignets were the highlight! Not overly bready nor oily and packed with delicious crab filling. The death by gumbo was delicious as well, not overrated. I would say that not enough people talk about the seafood gumbo because my, was it so damn good! I was then served my cake and more dessert from the cookie box. Im not a fan of lemon but I could not put those cookies down. The praline was just as any praline in NOLA. Highly recommend to bring friends and a date. read more

Great food with a great variety of items on the menu. Plenty of unique items such as snapping turtle gumbo, boar, elk, rabbit confit, etc. Ambiance was nice. Service was the reason I didn't give it a 5/5. It was a slow, attention to detail wasn't where it should be for a restaurant of this caliber and some mistakes were made on what we ordered. read more

I always admire a bartender who goes above and beyond running cocktail tables, and Shiela did a phenomenal job offering service to off-Bourbon drinkers and fine diners alike. I would have appreciated a visit from the manager to offer my compliments in person. A generous bar offers comfortable lounge seating under warm rafters with jazz filtered in from the street, or more elevated dining behind pocket doors and private spaces for larger events. Complimentary valet (don't forget to tip!) is offered for all. The menu is friendly for solo dining, allowing some appetizers and entrees to be customized to smaller portions. While they're known for rare and exceptional wine & spirits, dinner is complete (and quite memorable) without. This visit I was absolutely blown away by the barbecued Shrimp & Grits - a tried & true Southern staple perfected with coarsely ground grits topped with a dark buttered barbecue roux. Shrimp cooked to perfection, every bite inviting more delight. For once I was satisfied without dessert, but the menu invites another turn! read more

R'evolution was the highlight of our last trip to New Orleans. From the moment we walked in and were seated, the excellent service began and never let up. The main dining room was bustling, but never too loud or busy. We went in with a pretty good idea of what we wanted to order, but still listened to the descriptions of all the specials or ingredients that we were a bit unfamiliar with. We ended up starting with a cocktail and moving on to a reasonably priced bottle of wine as we continued through our meal. We mostly had small plates and shared an entree of the visiting fish. I won't give a bunch of food reviews because it was all lovely and delicious. I had the Death by Gumbo and my wife had the Turtle Soup. We shared some spicy crab claws and a charcuterie plate among other bites. The food was perfect and the service put the whole experience over the top. read more

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience at Restaurant R'evolution, one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Kevin and Tina delivered truly exceptional service. At one point, Kevin overheard someone in our party mention the candied bacon in a cocktail and casually say they wished their wife had tried it. Without us asking, he brought out a piece for her to enjoy. That level of attentiveness is rare. Tina also picked up on the fact that we were celebrating a birthday and surprised us with a beautifully presented box of cookies and treats. It wasn't just thoughtful, it felt personal. The entire service team operated like they had a sixth sense, anticipating needs before we even realized them. It created a seamless, memorable experience from start to finish. And the food, absolutely outstanding. Every dish seemed to outdo the last. I've dined at Michelin starred restaurants, and the service here surpassed many of them. If you're in New Orleans and want a truly unforgettable meal, this is the place. read more

Restaurant R'evolution at the Sonesta Hotel on Bourbon Street should be a mandatory stop for any fine dining lover visiting New Orleans. For us, it will now be a permanent stop every time we come back to this wonderful city. To begin with our experience, I must thank our server Christina, her assistant Heather, and Jeremy, the restaurant's Assistant General Manager, for making our evening as wonderful as I am sure they did for many other guests that night. If you visit, ask for Christina. If you want to experience the flavors of Louisiana elevated to fine dining, this is the place. We explored the menu guided by Christina and while everything was excellent and I do not want to leave anything out, I must highlight the extraordinary stuffed quail gumbo shown in the photo. It was beautiful, rich, comforting, with all the classic gumbo flavors but taken to another level. The crawfish stuffed beignets were incredible, as was the bread service and the delicious house butters. None of these should be missed, even though we ordered many other dishes that were all equally wonderful. For dessert, let yourself be guided as well. The service and atmosphere here match the quality of the food, if not surpass it, which is exactly how it should be. They also offer an excellent and extensive wine list for all tastes and budgets. R'evolution is now firmly on our list of favorite restaurants in New Orleans. Thank you. Restaurante R'evolution en el hotel Sonesta en Bourbon Street debería ser una parada obligatoria para cualquier amante del fine dining que visite New Orleans. Para nosotros, ya quedó como un lugar fijo cada vez que volvamos a esta maravillosa ciudad. Para comenzar con nuestra experiencia, debo agradecer a nuestra mesera Christina, a su asistente Heather y a Jeremy, Assistant General Manager del restaurante, por habernos hecho pasar una velada tan maravillosa como estoy seguro hicieron con muchos otros comensales esa noche. Si van, pidan por Christina. Si lo que quieren es probar los sabores de Louisiana elevados al fine dining, este es el lugar. Hicimos un recorrido por el menú guiados por Christina y aunque todo nos encantó y no quiero dejar nada por fuera, debo destacar el extraordinario gumbo de quail relleno que aparece en la foto. Estaba bello, untuoso y reconfortante, con todos los sabores de un buen gumbo pero llevados a otro nivel. Los beignets rellenos de crawfish fueron una locura, así como la ración de panes y las exquisitas mantequillas de la casa. Nada de esto se lo pueden perder, aunque pedimos muchos otros platos que también estuvieron riquísimos. En cuanto a los postres, déjense guiar también. El servicio y el ambiente en este lugar están a la par de sus platillos, si no por encima, que es como debería ser. También cuentan con una excelente y extensa carta de vinos para todos los gustos y presupuestos. R'evolution ya está en nuestra lista de restaurantes favoritos en New Orleans. Gracias. read more

The blue crab beignets boasted a punch in miniature sized balls, replete with meat. The turtle soup was decent, though it didn't have that much depth in flavor. The death by gumbo was interesting in concept and was excellent. The rabbit roulade was good, though the meat was a little lean and needed the additional sauce. The duck was rich and flavorful, though a little lacking in salt. Prices were a little on the higher end considering the amount of food; after ~100 per person I was still a little hungry. read more

Best Brussels sprouts ever! Had a reservation for 5:00, but choose to sit at the bar instead and watch the end of the Masters. Bartender was fast and friendly, knew the menu well. Started with a half bottle of Cabernet by Daou. It was not offensive and a good value compared to the other wines by the glass. Opened with a salad that was made with greens and shrimp tossed in an Asian dressing of some sort. Very good. Had the filet and Brussels sprouts for dinner. The steak was served with some kind of bernais sauce, which I'm not a big fan of. Fortunately, it was isolated to one side so I could use it as I wish. The one thing I liked was the roasted garlic that was served with the sauce. Nice touch with the steak, which was cooked to a perfect medium rare. And then there were the Brussels. Grilled and tossed with some bacon and something sweet. Absolutely delicious. The ambiance was classic nice steakhouse. Bar was dark, dinning room had linens on the tables and the wait staff was dressed elegantly. Would not hesitate to come back again. read more

Deshawn, Tina and Hannah - dynamic trio! Amazing service from them on Friday night. First time dining here and they made it perfect for us. Unassuming place as there's one small door into the check in desk and bar area. But your dining room is thru another set of doors and it's a pretty big place. Restaurant is nice and clean. Bathroom is quite clean as well. Love that they have a few booths only for those celebrating a special occasion. Presentation on the food, on point. Each dish comes out so pretty, color and smell. Food was good overall. Nothing stood out but it was all good. We ordered a variety and all were good and enjoyable. Would recommend. read more

We decided to try the Coolinary experience at Revolution. One of our criticisms was that the meal experience went on and on and on. We did not want a rushed dinner, but this just took so very long. For a 3 course meal, we were startled that it took almost 3 hours to get through the meal. They were not busy either. The waiter went on and on about every nuance and detail to the point that he must have thought we knew nothing about food at all. We live in New Orleans and visit high end restaurants quite frequently, so we were privately rolling our eyes after he would explain to us what a certain spoon was for or the differences between red fish and red snapper. The food was tasty, so that was a good thing. read more

I ate here last night with a good friend, and wow, it was my first time here and it was so incredible! The staff was beyond friendly and fun and very knowledgeable about the menu and great with helping provide recommendations. The restaurant is beautiful and clean on the side where the different dining rooms and different vibes but it kind of reminded me of the grill room in the Windsor Court. Very beautiful restaurant. For food, I have to beet goat cheese salad, the free parking mocktail, the bread and butter, pumpkin tagliatelle with sweet brussell sprouts and wild mushrooms. So tasty! The desserts we had were the chocolate Affogato, and the praline wreath. I wish I had read what was in the Praline wreath but I think it was like sweet potato cake, but I really want to know what kind of whipped mousse/frosting was in between it because it was so tasty and incredible. It was like a buttercream cinnamon frosting and it was addicting. I'm so embarrassed, but I literally ate the whole thing, that was probably 2000 cal in the dessert alone. lol.

Restaurant has a dress code. I wasn't fully prepared so we just eat the dinner at the bar where there is no dress code. We went there 2 times. I didn't take any pictures the second time. Service is incredible. Since we only order 2 entre for 4 people, the server divided it up for us. Death by gumbo. This is by far the best dish. It is pigeon with the gumbo sauce. It is so good that my wife wanted to go back the next day just for this. 10/10 Fire roasted oyster. 8/10. I think this is decent. Steak. $70. 1/10 This is horrible. Overly burnt on the outside. Pretty gamy. Pasta. $30. 1/10 This is horrible. I ordered it for my daughters. They don't like it. I have to finished it for them. Pretty bland. Crabcake beignet: 5/10. Only got 2 because of happy hour. So, I only paid $10 instead of $20. Waitress just gave me the happy hour price. Good thing she did that. It is not that good for $5 per. I didn't taste any crab... taste like cream cheese inside. Recommendation, just order the gumbo. Second time we went. We ordered death by gumbo again. Also ordered the turtle soup, and the raw oyster with caviar. Turtle soup is good. (8/10). I still preferred death by gumbo. Oyster with caviar. $55. This is a bit overrated. The oysters are quite small. Probably only 1x only. read more

We dined here for our anniversary. Our server, Rory, was AMAZING. He was kind, funny, knowledgeable and professional. We sat at the chef's table which was a great experience. Everything we ate that night was delicious. I wish we had more room to eat every thing. The foie gras was so smooth, it tasted like Greek yogurt (in a good way). I wish the bread pudding had more of a sauce, but besides that, zero complaints. The ambiance was definitely classy, so make sure you match in attire. Loved it! read more

If you're looking for an elegant restaurant with Fine Creole inspired food this is the place! The bar is a beautiful sweet spot and the drinks are creative and good. The restaurant is truly beautiful, service very professional, and the food is unusually delicious. Don't miss the crawfish beignets! They are one of the very best bites in all of New Orleans! We loved the fish on trees. Each one was delicious, expertly prepared and came out hot. Dessert is also fantastic.. We went there for brunch as well and the scrambled eggs, I think they call them eggs revolution are to die for. Go experience this place for a special night out. read more

Perhaps I missed the memo, but, I was actually pretty disappointed with my experience at the restaurant. The best thing in my opinion is the decor. The space gets 5 stars for the high fashioned, elegant, and "cool" space. It's totally somewhere you can imagine Marie Antoinette and Louis XIV would want to dine. I'll give the service 4 stars. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with it, but, I would say it just felt like our two servers were "doing their job." There wasn't any sort of umpf. I was most disappointed with the food, however. It's not that it was bad, per-se, I just don't think the menu does a very good job at describing what you will receive when you order. I find their artistic take on particular dish to be somewhat misleading. The caviar service was disappointing for starters. While it's "cute" that it's presented in oyster shells over dry ice for a smoky effect, it really wasn't very enjoyable. It wound up being more like a sampler of various fish eggs. While you can select a grade and type of caviar your choice is just a part of the sampler service. We didn't order the "sampler." I've never experienced that before so for the "cost" you're only getting a few grams of the roe. One would expect 30-50g of caviar at a particular price point. Not in a million years would I spend $140 for salmon or trout roe. Imagine ordering a bottle of Bollinger and when it arrives they bring 4 flutes and pour a splash of Bollinger in one and then give you a splash of prosecco, Korbel, and Cooks in the other 3??? It was totally misleading. Additionally, I think the restaurant needs to explore finding an appropriate recipe for blini. Blini should be light and fluffy so as not to compete with the caviar. Ours were very battery and thick/heavy. Of course creme fraiche was expected but the additional accoutrement that traditionally come with a caviar service were lacking. Finely diced shallot is preferred over chopped red onion, which is just a little too harsh. Consider finely chopped chives as well??? The "death by Gumbo" was super rich and requires a fork and knife to consume (which I have never had to use a fork and knife to eat soup ever in my life). It was good flavor and I enjoyed it, but, very avante garde. Lastly, I was super disappointed with the "Cassoulet." I love this traditional hearty winter stew. What was provided had nothing one would expect in a traditional cassoulet except duck. It was good but really just consisted of a duck confit over some sort of vegetable puree. Perhaps a different label for the dish would be more appropriate or management can spend more time explaining the menu/concept to diners to avoid any surprise. To give the restaurant credit for an attempt at A+ service was bringing unordered scallops to the table for one of our party to try after she had inquired about them while placing her order. Although it was a nice gesture it was a little awkward to just bring out two plain and dry seared scallops? I'm sure that's not how the dish is ultimately served, so if their intent was to give her a taste of the actual dish it just fell a little bit flat (don't we all know what seared scallops taste like?). I suppose I would try it again if invited, but, was a little disappointed with how it all played out. read more

OMG WOW!!! 100000% Looking for a great food experience that is in the French Quarter, and not too touristy or overpriced Restaurant Revolution is amazing!!!! I think this was by far my favorite meal that we had visiting New Orleans. The restaurant is set in the heart of the French quarter but you would have no idea walking in with a nice amazing place it is. It is not a tourist trap. The Bar area is a great spot to get drinks before dinner or just pop in and have a casual drink. There is a nice craft cocktails list.. The restaurant is 100% first class. From the way, the staff treats you to the fun funky music they are playing. Every course was just as great as the one prior, leaving me, want to come back forget another dinner. Chef John deserves a STAR for his creations. If you're looking for a special occasion place, I would highly recommend in going here versus any other place in the area (100% beats Commanders Palace any day of the week). read more

My favorite meal in New Orleans and my go-to for special celebrations. We have had Rory as our waiter twice now and he has made the experience exceptional, although the food speaks for itself. Highly recommend the death by gumbo, redfish bienville, and their ice cream selections. read more

We came here for bachelorette dinner & the service was amazing from Travis. It was 7 of us and we all got to try different options from the menu. This is a very elegant and upscale. Fine dining at its finest. They serve a cracker with goat cheese and blueberry to open your pallet follow by two different breads with three different butter options. They have mocktails as well. Everything we had was a 10/10 including the desserts! I would recommend coming here for any celebration. The ambiance is beautiful! Each room is different. read more
