SoBou
SoBou ("so-boo," meaning "South of Bourbon") continues to be too hip for a lot of people who might wanter in there. The other side of this coin is that those looking for the cutting edge in cooking and drinking may well find it here. It's operated by the same branch of the Brennan family that has Commander's Palace, which has picked up a few notes from the experiments at SoBou. This is a place where cocktails are king.

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.
