I could go on for days about the food, which, being from John Folse, I knew would be outstanding, but the thing that really hit me was the service. You can order anything on the menu & you will be happy. We had raw oysters, seafood gumbo, blue crab beignets, crawfish, Montegut, redfish, & a filet. Everything was wonderful. I won’t even get into dessert, which was Heavenly. The service was more than I had ever dreamed of though. The duo of Isaac & Kevin made us feel like we were their only customers that night. They knew exactly how to time our meal, being present without making us feel rushed. I like to take my time through a NOLA meal, so I especially appreciated this. The prices may scare off a few but to that I can only say, you get what you pay for, & you get a whole lot here. Definitely coming back next time I’m in town.

Very creative and delicious food, with attentive friendly service. Very willing to modify most offerings to accommodate gluten and dairy restrictions in a manner that did not compromise the spirit and creativity of the dish. Amazing wine list with a number of “approachable” selections, as well as wines by the glass. This was our 2nd visit, and we look forward to returning.

Great experience, the food was top tier, very delicious! The service was awesome. We asked a lot of questions about some of the wine and they definitely took their to explain and even let us taste test one we were interested in. They catered to us and it was awesome! I’m still dreaming about the food!

Overhyped, mediocre food, terrible ambiance. Despite many people telling me that this was one of the best restaurants in New Orleans, I thought this restaurant was incredibly average and boring. The gumbo wasn’t bad, but also wasn’t great. The wine & cheese was good, but I can get that anywhere. There was a baby on & off loudly crying in the restaurant. I had this reservation for months and I felt like the sat us in the worst part of the restaurant. I will not be returning to this restaurant, it’s clear that the societal rot from bourbon has crept in through the walls and infected this restaurant with mediocrity.

Restaurant R’evolution is one of the best restaurants in New Orleans. The bread service with 3 butters was amazing. The seafood gumbo was the best gumbo we’ve ever had and the presentation was very unique. The A5 Wagyu Carpaccio was extremely well marbled and very flavorful. Ribeye and rack of elk were the highlight of the dinner. The Petit Gâteaux a Chocolat was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys delicious food, an amazing atmosphere, and impecable service.

Service was exceptional. Cheyenne checked in often but also left us to enjoy our meal. The food was fantastic. I had the Elk and do not think it could have been prepared better. Phenomenal meal start to finish.
