New Orleans is renowned for its French cuisine, and you won’t have to leave the confines of The Eliza Jane to enjoy delicious fare within a French bistro. Couvant specializes in classic French cooking serving entrees that pay homage to French history and regional specialties. Never pretentious, the dishes and service at Couvant are purposefully simple and social. Nestle into an intimate dining room banquette. Or dine at a bistro table in our historic courtyard for chef-driven entrées and a bottle of wine — or maybe two.

    Friends invited me to the Grill Room for a belated Birthday luncheon. It was fabulous! We were delighted with the selections in the lunch special and our server was lovely. When they mentioned my birthday, she surprised us with beignets and beautifully decorated chocolate covered berries. I heartily recommend the Grill Room as a dining destination.

    Oh my lord!! We had the night of our lives! Jeff is the most amazing captain! He led his service team to provide us the most amazing experience! The food was better than sex! The drinks were crafted with love! After dinner Jeff gave us a first class tour of the 40,000 sq ft restaurant and museum! We then went to the bar where Ruby and Danny continued to treat us like royalty! Ruby even called a personal friend to drive us home safely! We are going back this evening! Last night was AMAZING! Here is to Arnaud’s! Jeff! Ruby! Danny! And the entire staff! What a team and what an experience! SALUTE!
