ANNUNCIATION Restaurant & Bar

Absolutely loved our experience at Annunciation Restaurant! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was outstanding. Our server, Mike, was amazing — attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made the evening even better.

The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. And the truffle dessert was truly on point — the perfect way to end the meal.

Highly recommend Annunciation for both the food and the exceptional service. We’ll definitely be back!

Randy and the staff did an amazing job for 7 guests for my birthday! The food was excellent (even for some specific requirements) and we loved the atmosphere to help us celebrate. My ex was a chef and we have eaten at hundreds of restaurant from NYC, to Napa, and all over NO and Annunciation is one of my favorites!

We count ourselves most fortunate to have secured a table at Annunciation during the splendid chaos of Mardi Gras weekend. To dine there, amid a city intoxicated by music and color, felt less like a reservation and more like a small triumph of destiny. The restaurant itself hums with life, perfectly attuned to the culture and vibrancy of its surroundings.

From the very first moment, the service was nothing short of exemplary. We had the pleasure of being tended to by Scarlett and Kendrick, who managed our rather formidable table with effortless grace. Despite the lively bustle, every dish arrived precisely as ordered, no small feat considering the size of our party. They remembered each selection with enviable ease, delivering not only plates but attentive and charismatic personality.

And now, the cuisine which deserves its own applause.

The soft shell crab pasta was, without exaggeration, the finest pasta I have had in recent memory. The crab, crisp and perfectly salted, offered a textural brilliance I did not know I required in my life, yet now cannot imagine living without. It did not accompany the pasta so much as elevate it.

The duck was magnificent. The salad was bright and balanced served with blue cheese dressing. The fries indulgently satisfying, and each entrée at our table worthy of admiration. We sampled a generous assortment, including the tapenade and the meatballs, and I remain undecided as to which I preferred, a rare and pleasurable dilemma.

Annunciation does not merely serve dinner; it orchestrates an experience. A live pianist accompanied our visit, and during Mardi Gras, that experience feels nothing short of theatrical.

Unbelievably, the dessert shone just as brightly! I don’t think I could go back without saving space for more flan, I had to give my compliments to the chef and beg for the recipe or some tips
There was also a chocolate mousse served alongside it. There was also some exquisitely named ice cream balls served inside a crunchy bowl. Needless to say the presentation of all of these was immaculate.

Cannot wait to come back. As I’m not a Louisiana local. I will cherish this place everytime I do come back to visit.

Great food and service! Nice wine selection in an atmosphere small enough to feel intimate. Gumbo with duck was awesome so was the lamb.

As a celiac, eating out can sometimes be a challenge. Not here. We were personally greeted by Chad, our server, and he had prepared several suggestions for my meal- which was beyond good!

I highly recommend you book a table and treat yourself!

Wonderful spot with a great vibe. We had a big group and they were surprisingly able to fit us in with a last-minute reservation. The food was incredible—from the appetizers to every dessert. Our server, Chad, was so kind and responsive. Highly recommend!

Just had dinner with my wife and daughter. The cream of zucchini was to die for. My wife’s lamb chop was so good it made me regret my NY strip. My server Randy and his assistant were exception in the way they ask about our allergies and recommended the soup and sides for our entrees. I have to say I will be back and I will definitely recommend to my friends and family.

We were seated at the bar and received fantastic service from Nike. We enjoyed all the food and drinks we ordered....we were joking with the chef that we didn't leave one speck of food on our plates!

We arrived early and was told we couldn't get a drink at the bar. The seats were reserved for NYE but no one was seated there yet. Had to beg the bartender to serve us drinks. Made thjngs super awkward. Food and our waitress were amazing.
