Reveillon @ Windsor Court Grill Room

 

Windsor Court Grill Room

The Grill Room is the sole survivor of a golden era for deluxe, grand restaurants in the mid-1980s. Except for a short slack period before and after Katrina, it has kept its standards high. For the past couple of years, its Reveillon menu has been excellent, save for a limited selection. Chef Daniel Causgrove, who took over the Grill Room's kitchen during the past year, has fulfilled the two main requirements of the Reveillon: the menu emits a faint jingling of holiday bells, and the $60 price is an attractive price for this lovely restaurant.

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.
