"A contemporary French-influenced fine-dining spot lauded for thoughtful tasting menus that blend local Japanese produce with French technique and a refined, restrained aesthetic." - Jessica Kozuka
"Effervescence is the rare place where everybody’s drinking champagne and eating caviar, but nobody’s actually judging you. It’s a fun and low-key French Quarter bar where the champagne cocktails are the thing to prioritize, whether that’s a kir royale or the absinthe-kissed Death in the Afternoon cocktail. The food is pretty good, too—they have a grilled half wheel of triple cream cow’s milk cheese that’s served with dates and crostini, gulf oysters, and deviled eggs with, you guessed it, caviar." - megan braden perry, zella palmer
"Effervescence glows ethereally come nightfall, a space oozing romance like few others. The Parisian-style bistro beckons for date night, with its menu of champagne and caviar and other elegant shareables, and top-notch service helps with the romance. It’s a perfect spot to visit before a show at the Saenger Theatre, a short walk away." - Clair Lorell
"What’s more appropriate than ringing in the new year with sparkling wine enthusiasts? Effervescence always has a theme for New Year’s Eve, and this year it’s a festive Black and White Ball inspired by Truman Capote’s 1966 soiree. Start with Champagne and caviar and move on to a $275 tasting menu of lavish New York-style cuisine, live music, and a midnight toast." - Beth D’Addono
