Reveillon @ NOLA

 

NOLA

Chef Emeril Lagasse's three New Orleans restaurants have been absent from the Reveillon for the past few years. They are back, with special non-Reveillon menus (what's the difference? not much) at Emeril's and Delmonico. NOLA, Emeril's French Quarter bistro, is very much in the Reveillon groove, with a mix of its sophisticated food and great ingredients, plus a few old-time surprises.

Four courses, $60-$70.

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.
