Best Lunch Restaurants in Jefferson

Copper Vine has been on my NOLA eatery wish list for years… it did not disappoint! It came up on my Google search for restaurants open on Thanksgiving and I decided to make a reservation for our family. Love the decor and the restaurant’s atmosphere. Sunny, our server was wonderful! We ordered all of the shareables that she recommended and everything was spot-on! Our mains were delicious too, but we were too full to order dessert. Each one of us will return!

We greatly enjoyed our Thanksgiving Day experience. We sat outside and with the wind, it was a little chilly but not unbearable. If the overhead heater near us worked, that would have been good. We really enjoyed the food served family-style and our waitress served us at our requested pace. Two things for improvement: (1) the Brussels sprouts were nearly raw (they replaced them with deep-fried, not roasted; appreciate the effort though not the same) and (2) the Cremant we started with was properly chilled but the Pinot Noir was warm and not at cellar temperature, which it should be at a Brennan’s restaurant.

I am local and have not eaten here in a couple of years but was pleasantly surprised to find the food and service was as good as ever. It is in the Brennan owned family restaurants which are the epitome of New Orleans cuisine.

Lovely place, recommended by a local. Ruby was our server and was magnificent!

Lovely & tasty, as always. We had a super helpful young lady waiter. She was delightful. Food is always excellent. We went on the early side — 11:30 — so at first it was wonderfully quiet and even as things picked up & families came in with children, it was not too loud ever, just festive.
