Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Metairie

Can not say enough good things about our dinner at Vessel. My wife and I went while on vacation for Thanksgiving Dinner. They had a three course fixed menu. Every course was Delicious. The pork was Phenomenal. Cooked to Perfection and was so tender. The drinks were strong and flavorful. Our server Ben was Fantastic. He was working Thanksgiving, yet was cheerful, prompt, and a pleasure to talk to. For being busy it was not overly loud and had a Great selection of background music playing. Last but not least, the restaurant was stunning! The Old Church was so Beautiful and the Bar was so neatly designed. Will absolutely be back when in town

Copper Vine has been on my NOLA eatery wish list for years… it did not disappoint! It came up on my Google search for restaurants open on Thanksgiving and I decided to make a reservation for our family. Love the decor and the restaurant’s atmosphere. Sunny, our server was wonderful! We ordered all of the shareables that she recommended and everything was spot-on! Our mains were delicious too, but we were too full to order dessert. Each one of us will return!

The restaurant itself is so cute! Everyone was super friendly, they had good music playing and most of the customers were vibing. We were there on a Monday night so there were half priced apps and drinks. Food came out quickly and was so delicious, we tried the chicken cracklins, sweet chili wings, and drinks to start. We’re from out of town so we had red beans and rice and a po boy for mains which also came out fast and tasted great. Sweet potato beignets are a MUST!

Cafe Degas is always solid. It is my go-to restaurant for the ambience and French food. Our server, Manny was very attentive and did a great job.

My husband and I visited Toup’s for our anniversary. We made our reservation online and the restaurant was aware we were there for a special evening. They greeted us with a Happy Anniversary and brought us two mocktails as a gift. We ordered the meat board and broccoli salad to share and it was fantastic! The meats were paired well with additions on the board, the salad crisp and flavorful. 100% would revisit and recommend! Fantastic hospitality, service and flavor.
