    First time here. Came to the city for a show at the Saenger. The restaurant has several dining rooms and a nice bar area. We were greeted and seated promptly at the street-side area. A fresh candle was lighted at our table. The overall ambiance is very good. The place started filling up quickly after about 5:30. As one might expect in a vibrant French Quarter location, folks were somewhat animated with their voices. The food was excellent. We had the escargot aux champignons for a shared starter—divine! She had the crabmeat au gratin which she really liked. I had the San Francisco style Cioppino. It was loaded with fish and shellfish. The only drawback was it was a little over-spiced for my taste. Otherwise I highly recommend it. Dessert was shared: Bananas Foster bread pudding a la mode. Delicious. Extensive wine list, with by-the-glass options. Service (we had Michael) was attentive; dish descriptions were thorough and accurate. Something we would like to see changed is the volume of the music. It was quite loud and made conversation challenging. The selection of songs was great, however. We will be back again on a subsequent visit to the Crescent City.

    What a treat to have a late leisurely lunch of such lovely cuisine. We had a daily special and the braised short ribs, fantastic, even the broccoli and pickled veges.

    Food is amazing, 2nd time to go, and service is always so friendly and good. Aside from being amazing food it is different. I love traditional French formal dining but you can get that more places. This is not your average food and always things I have never heard of or rarely get at fine dining

    Everything was great. It was a decent night cold in the city. We had the gumbo which was amazing a nice warm pick me up. The old fashion was to die for best I had in the city! The gulf fish was the way go. We had tag teamed service so there was always someone around to check on us!

    We had an excellent experience at Copper Vine. We had a group of 5, and we didn’t have to wait long for service or our food. David was amazing! He was so friendly and welcoming. He made sure our group had everything we needed. David was prompt and professional.
