Nola New Years Eve Recs
Posted by Tha Herg on 10/7/16 at 6:44 pm00
Every year, my wife and I are charged with booking New Years Eve reservations for the friend group and we are looking for some different suggestions.
Party size: 6-8
Neighborhood: We try to limit to just the Quarter due to a standing party at an apartment in the Quarter.
Price point: Nothing very high end (Commanders, Galatoire's, Doris) but nothing overly casual (shorts should stand out).
Previous two restaurants: Cafe Giovani (they had a fixed menu and was thoroughly disappointed), Italian Barrel (had a full menu and great atmosphere)
Menu: We try to not limit ourselves to a fixed menu but understand it is an extremely chaotic time to eat at a restaurant so fixed menus happen.
Eta: currently considering Emril's Nola, MeauxBar, Sylvain's, Bombay Club and R'evolution (been here and really enjoyed it).
Thanks in advance!

Went to MeauxBar a few weeks ago. It was great. Revolution might be a bit high end for what you're looking for. NOLA and Sylvain are both solid as well.

We did Peche last year for NYE. Party of 6 or 7. 5 courses. Muy bueño

I thought about Herbsaint but I'm thinking it will be too far of a walk for the girls. I don't expect to be able to snag an Uber into the Quarter after dinner.

where are y'all staying?

Hotel location isn't a factor. We Uber to the restaurant to start the night then Uber home around 1:30 once the crowds die down.
The party itself (which is where we walk to post-dinner) is a block from Jackson Square

Sylvain isn't good at accommodating large parties imo

The Riverview Room does a whole catered evening with a great view of the fireworks on the river. It's pretty awesome. Only catch is it may already be booked up. It's really popular. Worth a call though.

What about GW Fins
I haven't eaten here in years but see it mentioned quite a bit as of late in this board. I'll have to give them a call and see the availability and menu options.
Also, the wife has been pretty high on MeauxBar so that is looking more and more where we will end up. I imagine it's in the same price point and atmosphere as Nola, GW, and Peche?

You've got a pretty solid list so far, but I'll add Angeline. I suspect they'll do a NYE dinner.
