    Blackened Chicken on the salad was excellent
    Joe S.

    We ended up here because I didn't expect a long line at Napoleon House a block away. I ordered the Muffuletta Po Boy which had chopped ingredients from a muffuletta on a roll. The flavors were absolutely delicious, but the bread was chewy and gross. A good sandwich HAS to be on great bread, and every other po boy I've eaten has been on some type of crusty warm bread. This bread seemed like it was a day old. My co-worker ordered a salad with blackened chicken and OMG, they do some good-ass blackened chicken. That was delicious. The salad was a good size with lots of goodies inside. Service was slow even though it wasn't super crowded. We were kind of in a hurry but there's no sense of "lunch" here. Even after getting up and flagging her down to request the check, she cleared the table and took her time to get the check, then time to pick it up and bring it back. Ugh... With so many options around, I don't think I'd return. There's a reason there's a line at Napoleon House and a bunch of empty tables here during Friday's lunch hour.

    A must stop everytime im in NOLA! amazing po boys and the best fried gator I've ever had. highly recommend the Hurricanes here/strong as hell and taste wayyy better than Pat O'Briens!

    Blackened chicken Alfredo
    Kristen M.

    Great portions, great prices, they have a deal where you can get a free hurricane/ appetizer/ or dessert if you order an entree. Everything was absolutely perfectly seasoned/ cooked! Our waitress was so patient and kind with our questions. Probably one of the best meals we had in NOLA. We got seated immediately- no wait as a party of 8!

    Fried Combo Platter - Pick Two

    Corner restaurant that has a wonderful array of local food options. Staff was excellent and nice. The portions are impressive and I would recommend trying the place out. 1/3 of the wall if a bar and it is pretty family friendly.

    We went here following a steamboat cruise to grab lunch and a drink. - Sat at the bar -Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable - Wings - Amazing - Gluten Free options - yes - Nice view of the French Quarter on this corner lot I would recommend checking this place out for lunch. I'm sure dinner service is good as well.

    Water
    Ren B.

    Your typical restauraunt water. Served quickly with an amount of ice that I and my party appreciated. Classic coco cola plastic cup with a black straw to accompany it. The only thing that was lacking was the atmosphere as there appeared to be several vents that were dripping condensation on my table and party members. One can only hope none of the droplets contaminated our waters.

    Boudin balls

    The people there were friendly, scenery was amazing and the food was great. This is a good spot to get a taste of NOLA if you're new in town!

    Crawfish Queso Blanco & Chips
    Rachel H.

    We spotted here on the way back to our hotel because it was friday and everywhere was packed. The host was definitely high, she smelled like marijuana and kept pacing around doing seemingly nothing while tables and places at the bar were left littered with dishes. The spicy spritzer is insanely spicy so just be warned if you order it, the service was slow & the atmosphere just screamed chaotic staff. For the price I expected more.

    NOLA BBQ Wings
    Yolanda W.

    We stopped here last night after a long day in the city for Super Bowl festivities. The restaurant is an old huge house which you can see some original details like the fireplaces. It looked packed but we were immediately seated upstairs by the hostess. The waitress wasted no time taking or drink & food order. Drinks not so good but the food was bussin'! We had the fried combo platter and Nola wings. Parts of the fried platter were cold yet good and I 'll be back when it's not as busy for more of those wings!!

    Good service. Laid back and very nice atmosphere. Terrific bar. My wife and kids loved this place.

    Fried Chicken Club with everything on the side and a side of fries
    Erika M.

    A great spot to get some solid authentic new orleans food! I had the fried chicken club and the chicken was sooooo moist and tender! The fries were pretty good too. Two friends had the jambalaya with mixed reviews and another had the fried shrimp po'boy which he thought was solid! The staff was sooo friendly. We only had to wait about 10 minutes to sit on the balcony, so we just waited at the bar! Just a note, if you have a bigger group, you will be split if you wanna sit on the balcony. They only seat two together. But it's since for a date night or just to get a nice view of the city! Also, Street performers were right under us, so we have food and a show.

    Alligator meet
    Elena S.

    First time I tried alligator meet! The ambiance of the place reflects NOLA vibes! It was the first place I had a food after arrival to NOLA and it was delicious!

    Cajun Nachos
    Bobbi C.

    Stopped here for an early dinner. Not busy at all due to the time (about 330pm). Our server was very pleasant and quickly took our orders. I had the Cajun nachos appetizer and they were spicy and plentiful. I especially enjoyed the red beans on top. I would stop by here again when in the area.

    Located in the Kimpton Hotel Fontenot, it is actually a nice restaurant that has a lot of charm…read more Located away from the nose and bustle of Bourbon Street, we had a peaceful dinner that is not fried or wholly unhealthy (i.e. greasy). The presentation of the food came was amazing. We ordered the linguine and added meatballs, which was well worth it. We also ordered the shrimp & grits, which included Brussels sprouts. Boy, it was sure nice to get some vegetables in my stomach after eating all that yummy fried food during our stay! All in all, both dishes were delicious. It is a little on the pricey side, but after several days of eating in the touristy area of the French Quarter, this was truly a welcome change. Service was polite and attentive. I always appreciate the staff's efforts by making simply making eye contact and smiling (which they did). Seems trivial but I think those small things says a lot about a business. I would recommend this restaurant even if you are not a guest of the hotel.

The ambiance is amazing, plus velvet, emerald and sapphire tone, glitzy, and feels like a good photo op. The bar and cocktail menu looked expansive. However, I was going to be hopping on a meeting, so I could not partake, unfortunately. A group got this impressive tower of espresso martini and everyone seemed to be enjoying their drinks! I wanted that New Orleans seafood but had late lunch, so I opted for just the crispy gulf shrimp on cheesy grits. I really wished I can hungrier because the dish ended up being very heavy. The shrimp were nice and crispy. The charred Brussels sprouts gave me the false sense that this was a healthy dish because I was getting my veggie intake. The bacon jam was sweet and went well with the Brussels sprouts. I loved the combination of the cheesy grits and the Crystal hot sauce. It was the perfect amount of both and some how led me to understand why Americans put hot sauce on their Mac n cheese and some other cheesy dishes after 30 years of not really understanding the attraction to that combo. I got the marinated olives to go so I could have a little snack later. They were just stuff I feel I could get in a jar... not really sure if I could justify the price. I think this is a fine place if you're looking for a photogenic night out drinking with a group of friends. Could be really cute for brunch!

My wife and I visited on our first NoLa trip together about 4 years ago and make it a point to go every time now. Our first time we stopped in for lunch at the bar and had an excellent experience, and decided to return. We came back on the next trip just to grab a drink and a snack before heading down for dinner in the Bywater. The bartender (Chris) gave a bunch of recommendations for places to visit that way, all of which we have done in the past few trips and have loved. But it's this past trip where we were truly blown away. We were in town for JazzFest and after walking back to the French Quarter, we were thinking about food options and decided to take a gamble to see if we could get a seat at the bar or maybe grab a drink for the road before getting food somewhere else. The bar was full when we got there around 8/8:15, but they had a no show and could serve us, as long as we ordered quickly and were ok with the check hitting the table right at 9PM. Given our slightly (perhaps generous) inebriated state from being at the festival all day and being slightly underdressed, we felt this was quite a kind accommodation. With the clear expectations of needing to get our orders in quickly, we wasted no time making a decision on our drinks and a few food options. Despite this need for a quick turn around, at no time did we feel rushed. The food and drinks were absolutely perfect, as they always are. But what impressed us most was the staff. At no point did the hostess or wait staff seem annoyed by us, despite us parachuting in from a music festival and looking like sunburn and poor decisions. By managing expectations on the front end, we never felt rushed despite the need for a quick turn around. They were all lovely, professional, and as cordial as if we were regulars with standing reservations once a week. In terms of atmosphere, it is always perfect: lively and fun for a date night, dinner with friends/family, or just a nice drink before a night out and about. I truly cannot begin to explain how much I love this restaurant and every experience I've had there. The awards and accolades this establishment (a sincere and lofty term Jewel of the South truly deserves) have been awarded are beyond well earned. Restaurants around the country should aspire to provide the quality of food, service, and overall hospitality Jewel of the South provides on a regular basis. It will continue to be our first and foremost recommendation to anyone we know who is going to New Orleans. Bravo! We shall return!

I would use this version as your gold standard when dining out in New Orleans and looking for a perfect Sazerac. We enjoyed watching bartender Rachel craft each drink. Rye whiskey, Peychaud's Bitters, and sugar are stirred in a small pitcher with ice. The serving glass is chilled, then emptied, and finished with an absinthe rinse along the rim. The cocktail is strained into the glass and topped with a lemon peel. The atmosphere makes the experience even better. The murals, the history, and the energy of the room give it a sense of occasion that you do not get at most bars. We had such a great time sitting at the bar that my wife and I each finished two and a half Sazeracs, which tells you everything you need to know.

The Apothecary was the cure. We grabbed seats mid bar and before we even finished settling in, there were waters waiting on the bar. That simple move already separated this place from the chaos outside. It's hospitality in its cleanest form: welcome in, take a breath, we got you. Inside is low light and old time apothecary mood, menus like a spellbook, but it's not gimmicky. The bartenders move like they've done the reps. Calm. Precise. No frantic showboating, no syrupy cover ups, no sloppy pours even with the parade energy banging on the door. We ordered two and they were both dead on. Alchemist Elixir: pea flower gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon. It shows up pale violet with an orchid on the rim and yes it's pretty, but it's also disciplined.

Corpse Reviver #2: local gin, Lillet Blanc, Grand Marnier, absinthe, fresh lemon. Cold, crisp, citrus first, then the herbal edge and just enough absinthe to remind you what city you're in. Served in a textured coupe with a cherry skewer, details handled like they actually matter. Outside, the streets were selling amnesia in plastic souvenir cups. Inside, The Apothecary was serving adults. Let Bourbon Street keep the grenades. Give me the anecdote .
