Completely different type of places.

R'evolution is white table cloth fine dining in the vein of August. Higher priced, more fine dining service, ambience and food. It really is quite good.

Compere Lapin is certainly a bit more casual (although still high end) and the flavor profiles and cooking are wildly different than R'evolution. Caribbean influences, very nice cocktails. I like it a lot.

Just depends on what you're looking for, can't go wrong either way.

If you're looking to wear a suit and blow it out, go to R'evolution. If you want a wonderful meal and cocktail in a more relaxed environment go to Compere Lapin.

Think we are going with R'Evolution. Menu seems to have a broader selection.

My wife thinks she is fancy so she will appreciate it ;)

Appreciate the info and will report back.

R'Evolution was excellent.

Crab Beignets - 5/5. Great app

Turtle Soup - 4/5. It was very good but I prefer Commanders. The deviled quail eggs through it off a tad IMO

Scallops - 5/5. Phenomenal is the only way I can think to describe it. The fois gras completed the dish

Rotisserie Duck - 4/5. We found that it was a little dry but overall was an excellent tasting dish.

White chocolate bread pudding - 2.5/5. Very average.

Overall dining experience was great. Good cocktails and way above average service.

Appreciate all of the recommendations. And would definitely recommend others to give it a try.

Unless you get one of the tables that for some strange reason, dont have a table cloth.
