FOCUSING ON CREOLE AND SOUTHERN CUISINE, Annunciation Restaurant is a culinary gem in the heart of the Warehouse District. Housed in a lovingly restored turnof-the-century warehouse, Annunciation is the perfect setting for winding down with cocktails after a hectic work day, entertaining clients, and especially enjoying a delicious meal. In addition to being a fantastic space for a night out, Annunciation also provides private event space perfect for everything from a sitdown dinner of 80 to a cocktail reception with hors d’oeuvres.

Owner Kristin Sparks didn’t originally plan to own a restaurant, but when her dad came to her, she, of course, said “yes.” The dedicated staff at Annunciation are also crucial to its success. Executive Chef Milton Prudence is a true connoisseur of the kitchen and has been praised for his Creole dishes and exquisitely prepared New Orleans’ fare for over 40 years. “Everyone brings their own set of strengths to the team, and we have a lot of fun doing our jobs,” Kristin says.

At a night out at Annunciation, expect to enjoy fine wine, delicious cocktails such as their Blueberry Sazerac, and mouthwatering classic and contemporary Creole and Southern dishes such as Gulf Fish Capri, topped with crawfish, crabmeat, and artichokes, and their hearty grilled lamb chops, pictured above. Don’t miss out on this Creole masterpiece and book a reservation or private event for your next night out.

Annunciation is open Sun, Mon, Wed, Thurs 5-9 and Fri, Sat, 5-10. Located at 1016 Annunciation St. in New Orleans. 504-5680245. annunciationrestaurant.com.
