disapointing

   jnsg1114 - 06/18/2007

horrible managerial staff. manager tried to make pay bar bill for these two guys sitting next to me that walked out on the bill. he said sinced i was speaking to them, i was responsible for their bill. i had to speak with a police officer to take care of it. also, food is overpriced--it's pretty much the same menu as the other copeland's restaurant only marked up a lot more.

Upscale Club Meets Fine Dining

My husband and I met my cousin who was in town for a trial briefing at the restaurant last night. The restaurant has a hip club atmosphere, that just happens to serve great food. My cousin and I had the herb crusted salmon (yum) and my husband had the bone in ribeye steak with a side of sweet potatoes that could have easily passed for a sweet dessert. We all started out with the broccoli balls (I think it was called "Bayou Broccoli" on the menu) and they were absolutely delish. The restaurant was dimly lit with music playing throughout. People were dressed in everything from jeans to dresses, to basketball jerseys. It was very comfortable and reasonably priced. We had the banana's foster dessert which came in a martini glass with coffee. It was all good. And filling. No baby portions here. My cousin got there before us and waited for us at the bar and had nothing but rave reviews about the bar area and the fireplace in the middle of the floor. Her only complaint was that the music was a little loud, other than that, Sweet Fire and Ice made for a memorable and very delicious evening

worst than expected

one waitress brought us 2 budlights but she made a mistake she was suppost to bring 1 and came back to our table to get the other budlight back. after we touched the bottle around where the hole is she took it back and then i told her she had to go throw it away well she told us that the manager made her come get it and we seen her bring it to another table. so that made me question everything the whole night when they brought my food was it someone elses that they put on the table but made a mistake and took it back after they took a bite out of it? food tasted great but i wouldnt recomment it to anyone.

upscale, but very comfortable

The restaurant looks very upscale; however, you can wear whatever is comfortable to you (jeans, t-shirts, shorts, and etc.). There is a complimentary valet parking. They have happy hour between the hours of 4-7pm half off martinis. The drinks are a bit pricey so the happy hours are great to take advantage of. I had their "Seafood Bake." It was comparable to Oyster & Shrimp fondue at Papadeux if anyone ever had that. The Crab & Shrimp bisque can use a little bit more seasoning. When you visit the restaurant, you need to leave room and experience dessert. I will definitely go back!!!!

Surreal and sumptous.

The interior of the restaurant is incredible, darkened alcoves as well as sunset lit areas where people of all ages ate in comfort. The wait wasn't bad ( Post Katrina during February ) and the service was excellent. The archetecture was fabulous and the food, well I believe it was to die for..especially the cheesecake for dessert. I will definitely be going back there on my next visit.

martini heaven

The food was classic copelands. The lamb was great and the stuffed shrimp was delicious as always. Now the martinis were to die for. I would definitely go again.

Delicious, Outstanding food

This place is excellent, if you don't mind the wait. The food is awesome. The martini bar is great and the atmosphere is wonderful. Avoid going on Friday nights if you're in a hurry. The usual wait is about an hour to an hour and half. Service is great.....the hosts are very ncie being that the restaurant is near capacity on some occasions. I would rate it one of the best restaurants in the city post-Katrinia.

Delicious and mouth watering

One of the few places I will go to in this "post katrina" restaurant craze and actually accept their wait time - the tender steaks easily excel those found at any local steakhouse. Plus the mix and match cheesecake scoops(you must make room for!) are out of sight!

TERRIBLE!

This is by far the worst restaurant I have ever been to in New Orleans. It was not only tacky, but I had half a straw in my tea (not my straw!) and they gave us the wrong appetizer and the wrong pasta for my main meal. The service was fine, the music is terrible. I couldn't even wash my hands in the restroom because three women were hair spraying their hair and looked like they had one too many botox injections or face lifts. For a cheesy atmosphere, bad food (even once they got it right... everything is "battered and fried"), and over an hour wait, go there. I was a fan of Cheesecake Bistro and Copelands is fine, but this was AWEFUL!

Go to Zea's, Houstons, or somewhere downtown. This place is terrible.
