Bourbon House
Dickie Brennan's Bourbon House looms over one of the two or three busiest corners in the French Quarter. Its participation in the Reveillon is less lavish than in many other restaurants--there are no choices as you go down the menu. But that keeps it tightly focused, and allows for the use of the restaurant's specialties. Bourbon, for example. And seafood, which is what this place is all about.

FULL REVIEW
All the Reveillon menus can be perused here. We'll feature one every day throughout the Reveillon season, which runs in most of the Reveillon restaurants until December 31.The snowflake ratings are for the Reveillon menu, not the restaurant in general. Dishes marked with the snowflake symbol ✽ are my recommendations.
