My second trip to Annunciation, the first was years ago. I'm thrilled it's still here. Very solid food, incredibly amazing staff, good drinks and wine list. Anything fried was light, everything tasted great, meat was cooked perfectly. It's a very unique place, I will always stop here when I'm in this city.Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: Yes
Awesome ambiance! Very attentive matradie. Great back waiter!! Waiter was a bit disappointing..did not check on us often. Ordered wine when I ordered dinner, it came out half way through dinner. Wife asked for lemons in her water, it arrived after we finished eating. The softshell crab was very tasty but not crispy. Probably cooked at too low a temp. The drum was very tasty, but a bit tough. Probably cooked too long. We were almost through eating before the waiter asked how the food was.
The fried green tomatoes with mirliton and shrimp were exceptional. One of the best appetizers I have ever experienced. The soft shell crab Monica was also delicious, but it came with hair in it. The wait staff handled this extremely well and professionally. Would definitely return.
WOW. What a treat this little tucked away place is. Great food, great atmosphere and great staff. Definitely not understaffed and it showed Fried Green tomatoes that were firm and not mushy like most Perfectly seasoned fried eggplant sticks with a nice dip, but I didn't get the confectioners sugar! Tender, fresh, tasty Oysters Rockefeller A crispy Avocado and crab salad that sat on a pleasant bed of chopped lettuce The veal Marsala was tender with a nice reduction and perfectly cooked mushrooms over linguini. Just the right portion. Finally one of the best Creme Brulee I have had with 2 slices of Banana under the sugar crust The wine list was extensive and well balanced Great job folks. Thank you. We will be back Returned a week later. Turtle was soup of the day. A little salty and too thick for me. Never had it before so not sure if that is how it should be. Had the Drum Yvonne which was excellent Back again for some more fried eggplant. The Godchaux salad was nice and tangy Tried the duck this time and very glad I did. WOW. Crispy leg with a nice glaze and nuts. The Breast was cooked well and the fat was nicely rendered.bcrispy skin through out. Served over wild rice
What do get when you cross Irene's Cuisine, Tommy's Cuisine and Galatoirs together? Annunciation! Between the back of the house and the front, you'll get the best of what made these icons popular! Great New Orleans food and the best service the city has to offer. Milton has a crew of chefs making dishes made from all three places. Wish he would put Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie back on the dessert menu! The menu is constantly offering different specials and seasonal cuisine. Love the Duck and the Fish plates! You'll be served by some of the best professionals in the city! Sam, Sergio, Val and Scott have been serving tourists and locals for over 30 years apiece! No need to go to the French Quarter for great food when you can get the same experience at Annunciation y'all! Ask Sam about the Veal St. Charles! Topped with crab, capers and Buerre Blanc sauce. YUMMY! It can get a bit loud if there is a rowdy table though. Acoustics could use improving. Vegetarian options: Had pasta agliolio with squash, broccoli and Brussel Sprouts.
This restaurant is absolutely AMAZING so much so I went back twice with my sister! The quality and freshness of the food is stellar and the service is personable and fun with elegance! I met the owner Kristen who is just lovely, warm and delightful! The staff is very knowledgeable and consistent with service! Annunciation is my new place to dine when I travel to NOLA!!
The ambiance was pleasant, the food was great and the service was awesome. After spending all week as part of a large group in New Orleans, it was a pleasant surprise to find ourselves at a place that accommodated us without any objections. The food was not only delicious, but very reasonably priced compared to similar offerings in nearby restaurants. The New York strip steak was well prepared and the desserts were delightful. Highly recommend it.
Had a wonderful meal there. Sergio and Little Sergio made us feel very welcome. Food was awesome. Tasted wonderful and very pretty presentation. Caroline made a great smoked pecan old fashion and sangria. Highly recommend it for any occasion.
Nice, upscale without being pretentious. Good, varied food selection and nice craft cocktails. One of our group received fish instead of veal. We also ordered wine and arancini that never came. Although it didn't detract from the overall experience. Servers are overworked and understaffed in 2022...Food: 5/5
The food was really good. I mean, delicious. I had the filet with stuff on it, and my date had lamb chops. Both were excellent. The tiramisu was ridiculously good.Food: 5/5
