Beautiful, quaint little place. Food was delicious. They did a wonderful job converting this little house into a restaurant. There’s a cute courtyard in the back for outdoor seating. The menu was creative and unique. Service was impeccable. Cocktails were amazing. Overall wonderful place. I’m glad we got to visit.

Very unique food and beverage spot! Excellent service. It’s more of an experience than an actual dinner. Courtyard seating was lovely but very hot and the bugs were horrible in the middle of a heat wave in southern LA. I definitely knew better…Overall, I enjoyed it and would like to try again! Perhaps, chicken or steak?

Jewel of the South is an absolute delight nestled in the heart of New Orleans. From the moment we stepped into this charming establishment, we knew we were in for a memorable experience. The restaurant’s quaint outdoor garden, adorned with vibrant flowers and cozy seating, added a touch of enchantment to our evening.

Everything we ordered was delicious! Service is top notch. The courtyard is cute, just make sure you ask for a table close to a working fan if you are dining here on a hot summer day.

Our concierge recommended this spot for delicious cocktails and we were not disappointed! This definitely felt like a local gem (no pun intended) and wish we had the time to enjoy dinner here. We ordered a few cocktails and couldn’t help ordering a small plate to get a sense of the food. We tried the black pudding, which was outstanding.

Fabulous! Eye opening flavors! The cocktails were top notch! My husband and I went for our anniversary and we were served a welcome drink! We went all out for the caviar which is delicious and 3 plates which could easily be shared. As well as a desert! Its not a place for picky eaters but for a special occasion and you want to explore your taste pallet, go for it!

Enjoyed several dishes that were really great that flavor was perfect and cooked well. Service is exceptional for drinks for serve very well and the bartender is very poignant. Had a chance to meet some of the kitchen staff and they are very on point with what they do. They do have a upstairs area for private parties which was being used at the time and have a back courtyard for dining outside. The dining area is small downstairs I recommend reservations.

This Sunday brunch was the highlight of a great weekend spent in NOLA. Some of the most interesting (and delicious!) cocktails of our trip, and the food was truly special. The shocker was the zucchini dish. We ordered it as almost an afterthought and it was SPECTACULAR. Three meat eaters in our party said it was their favorite dish. Start with the caviar and just pick anything that looks interesting…not a miss in the bunch! The cherry on top was the excellent service. Attentive, friendly, authentic. Thanks for a wonderful experience, we can’t wait to come back!
