Annunciation rescued our Saturday night. You see, I thought my wife had made reservations for a landmark restaurant for tonight, and she thought I had. That left us scrambling today to find a nice restaurant. Annunciation had availability and the Coolinary menu sounded interesting, so we booked this morning. What a great stroke of luck!
My wife, son and I ordered from the Coolinary menu while my daughter and her boyfriend ordered from the dinner menu. We were all very pleased, and shared enough so that everyone got to try a bite of everyone else's food.
Starters: The boudin balls were pretty good. My wife got the tomato maison, my son the escargot and I had crab sardo. They were all very good. I particularly enjoyed the crab sardo. The hollandaise had a nice bit of spice.
Entrees: My wife ordered the chicken maison, my son the veal marsala, my daughter the shrimp linguine, boyfriend the filet mignon and I had the gulf fish capri. The chicken was good, though the rosemary and thyme were a little strong, my son loved the veal and the boyfriend particularly enjoyed the filet with the bernaise. I thought the marinara for my daughter's linguine was excellent. My gulf fish capri, made tonight with blackened drum, was the best of the bunch. It was cooked perfectly, topped tastefully with crawfish, crabmeat, capers and tomatoes, with a wonderful buerre blanc sauce. It was 5/5.
Dessert: We all had the bananas foster and polished it off despite being stuffed.
The staff was wonderful, attentive and so friendly. My next time in New Orleans I will make it a point to come again.
