Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Harvey

I read about this place and it was our first meal on this visit to New Orleans. What a start to a trip! Amazing lunch. I would suggest making a reservation as it was full when we dined on a Friday. We sat at the bar and the bartender was great, tasty drinks (the Tavi Spritz is my new favorite drink) and good advice on food. We started with the half order of fried chicken hummus. Creamy hummus topped with chucks of fried chicken and amazing salsa verde. So good! The fresh pita and olive oil and spices served with it were perfect. I loved the crispy halloumi. Crispy and hot drizzled with honey and on the best citrus and nut base. Every bite was a flavor bomb. ❤️ The lamb kofta had nice char and flavor , served on some spicy spread with tomatoes and yogurt to cool it off. The sujuk pide is big. A thin bread wrapped around tender meat and cheese with tomatoes on top. Filling but so good! We didn’t have room for dessert because we enjoyed the lunch so much. I would definitely go back and try more. And more crispy halloumi!

I would 100.000% recommend this place. My first time experience in New Orleans and booked a couple of tourist places to go to. I was with my 16 year old daughter on this trip. I appreciated their customer service I didn’t like the table I was initially taken to but it was not a problem when I asked for another table and they didn’t make it an issue. My waiters working together Lionel and Monique made it the best day for us. Super friendly, efficient and going the extra mile to make us feel at home. I even taught Monique a couple of my native language Xhosa phrases. The trio band was the cherry on top. They performed my song request and were happy to take photos with us. The food was great too.

Copper Vine was a wonderful experience. We came here for dinner on Christmas Day. The seared scallop risotto was outstanding and my daughter said the short rib burger was one of the best she’s ever had. We shared the bananas foster for dessert and it was fabulous. A great find and someplace we hope to visit again the next time we’re in New Orleans.

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.

- shrimp and grits very well seasoned - duck confit good balance of sweet savory - ambiance lovely, but I read somewhere there was jazz during lunch and it seemed very muted, but maybe that’s just me - service was exceptional! our server Chris kept checking in on us and went above and beyond.
