There were 8 of us and the Revellion menu had something for us all. Not one of the group was dissatisfied with any part of the meal. Two meals of particular brilliance were the chopping and the roasted duck. The ciopino was all Louisiana in style and in flavor. The roasted duck in a grape blueberry confit was genius and easily the best game bird I ever tasted. An honorable mention and very honorable indeed was the pork chop which was thick delicious and tender. Randy provided an excellent night of service, knowledgeable and attentive. A very professionable waiter.

My husband and I come to Antoine’s every time we are in New Orleans (our top vacation getaway choice). We’ve done brunches and dinners and have never experienced an ounce of disappointment when dining here. Every meal has been superb! The staff is always phenomenal - they are always going above and beyond - and the atmosphere is so lovely. A must-go, for sure.
