I have been fine with Copeland's on the couple of occasions we have eaten there in the past -- it never bowled me over, but I enjoyed it. But our recent experience there was laughably bad. We went in for drinks and appetizers. Wanted to sit at the bar, but there were dirty dishes at every empty seat, so we sat at a table instead. There were some napkins and trash on the floor nearby -- in the aisle, not tucked under tables. We ordered drinks, and my martini was pretty much melted ice water with a little flavor added, and it was tepid. I sent it back (and I am generally not a sender-backer of anything.) The replacement tasted all right (not great.) The appetizers we ordered included the spinach-artichoke dip (fine) and the crawfish bread (gross -- very fishy tasting.) Almost before we finished, the woman who cleans tables was hustling us out, so zealous to move us along that she dumped dirty utensils into my husband's lap. (We were not there at a busy time, either.) We then paid way more than made sense for the experience we had had. The only real positive was my husband's beer, which they poured into a glass reasonably well, and our server (not the person who removed our dishes), who struggled bravely against considerable odds to attempt to give us a pleasant experience. Her decent work notwithstanding, I do not recommend eating at the Copeland's we experienced.
