Gumbo Shop
The Gumbo Shop's Reveillon has a strong following among locals, who keep it so busy this time of year that a wait for a table (they don't take reservations) is inevitable. Part of this owes to the perennially lowest price in the Reveillon field. The menu never changes, because the regulars won't hear of it. Lagniappe: cafe brulot at the end of the repast.
Four courses, $34.

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.
