Couvant - New Orleans

Visited this lovely restaurant for my birthday dinner. We had a party of 15 and the restaurant and staff accommodated us beautifully. The service was phenomenal our party was serviced by Uma she was spectacular and extremely patient as this was a very large group. Jackson assisted with cocktail and wine selection. He is very knowledgeable on what pairs well with each selected course. He also introduced me to my new favorite scotch.We could not stop raving about how delectable the food was and top that with amazing service. Thank you so much to the entire staff for making this such a beautiful event.10 out of 10 I definitely recommend.

Went there for brunch during Coolinary Month. Service was very attentive but not distracting. Ordered an Old Fashioned and selected a nice Rye bourbon after talking with the bartender. He made exactly as I wanted! The food came out quickly and was plated very attractively period. The sauce for the Duck Spring Rolls tended to overpower the flavor of the duck, so we skipped it but enjoyed it on the toast we ordered. The spring rolls were fried perfectly. The only downside was a lack of enough sauce on the Eggs Benedict

I was skeptical we would be able to be seated when I arrived and told the host that we had a group of 10 with no reservation. We agreed to split the group if they needed and waited for the rest of our group to arrive. The wait staff and hostess worked quietly but quickly and were able to seat our group together even though we arrived with less than 2 hours left of their brunch service. I love the atmosphere of this place. The restaurant flows with the attached hotel bar and lobby decor. The wood grain tables were warm and inviting.The offered their brunch menu and a special coolinary menu of multiple courses. It was nice that each person was able to choose a La carte items or the multi course option. Various orders of the blue crab salad, shrimp and grits, pork shoulder Benedict, and stuffed French toast were delivered with beautiful plating. The expediting station was right in the dining room so we were able to watch the finishing touches be added to every dish. I had the French toast sticks and two eggs. The eggs were seasoned perfectly. The fresh whipped cream and the berry compote had me cleaning my plate.

We chose the Eliza Jane due to its proximity to the passport office and were unexpectedly surprised and pleased at the customer service, decor and peacefulness of the hotel. Our check-in was delayed (due to our booking coompany) and Menard made the wait pleasant and non-stressful by taking care of the entire problem and providing a free drink at the bar while we waited. He was helpful during our stay and the picture of a hospitality professional. The room was quiet, cozy and stylish. If our travels take us to New Orleans again, we will not hesitate to book at the Eliza Jane!

Just an absolute gem of a place. Thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. Fantastic decor. Couvant was an excellent choice for supper. We are looking forward to going back in the fall to enjoy cooler temps on the courtyard.
