  • Wow! Just wow! I must say that I have not enjoyed a meal or dining experience this much in years! The attention to detail, the service, the knowledge of the staff, the teamwork, the food, the cocktails, the atmosphere. All were impeccable. Each course that I ordered out did the previous one. Heirloom tomatoes and Wagyu tongue stole the show, but the asparagus was phenomenal and the Eccles for dessert was paired so well with some Stilton! Thank you for such a great and unique experience. Kudos the chef and staff!

  • Dined during Tales. Fabiana, Stefanie took care of me as I ate most of the menu, by myself, had 6 cocktails (complimentary due to the event in bar area), a glass of Champagne which they were kind enough to provide despite not offering wine during the event, and dessert. I had a nice time. This is a good restaurant

  • This was probably the best meal we had in New Orleans. Wonderful experience made up of a very original and well thought out menu, attentive staff, and a great ambiance. Get the tartare!

  • The food at Jewel of the South was absolutely amazing! Every dish was packed with flavor, and the cocktails were next-level good. The service was just as great, super friendly and attentive without being over the top. You can really tell they care about what they do. The only thing that kept it from being a full 5 stars was that the inside area felt a little tight and got pretty loud, which made it hard to chat at times. Still, the energy was fun and lively, and I’d definitely come back. Totally worth it!

  • The food is unique and delicious - flavors I haven't had in decades, unique combinations, fun and adventurous items. This is a special treat, a fun night out, perfect for a date night or a celebration..smaller group is better. If you have picky eaters in the group maybe not ideal, but if you like to try new things and delight your palate with unexpected flavors, this is the perfect place.

  • Best drink spot we tried in NOLA! The drinks are very unique—we tried four and loved them all. Our server, Stephanie, was knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. We sat outside, and it was nice and quiet —perfect for enjoying the experience. I would definitely go back if I’m in NOLA again!

  • Jewel of the South offers surprisingly thoughtful and flavorful vegetarian options. The broccolini was fresh and well seasoned, the second dish had great depth. Portions are on the smaller side, but the quality and creativity make it worth a visit.
