“The next time you’re in NO, make a reservation at August! You’ll thank us, I promise. 🤤 FIVE STAR REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The meal started out with a “gift from the chef.” A savory leek custard, topped with pumpkin mousse and a sprinkle of sweet & salty crunch, presented in a perfectly carved eggshell. We were given spoon bread as well, which was the lightest, airiest and creamiest corn muffin ever to cross my lips. The sommelier told us that the secret ingredient was sour cream. I guess the secret is out now! 😉 Our sommelier suggested Pinot Noir. Monty chose Belle Glos Las Alturas. Let’s just say that we started shopping for it online immediately after the first taste. It has a fuller body than a typical Pinot Noir, so smooth and juicy. Such a perfect pairing. 🤌🏼 Monty had the pecan-smoked venison tartare with celery root and mountain rose apple. The flavors and textures were out of this world! We combined a few bites of the tartare with a bit of spoon bread. Omg, I’ll say it again: Out. Of. This. World. 💥 I ordered the gnocchi "black and blue" with black truffles, jumbo lump crab and parmesan. Tender, yet slightly firm, with a delicate, pillowy texture, but the truffle took it to a whole ‘nuther level! They gnocchi’d it out of the park with this one. For dinner we shared duck three ways with Bayou Cora grits, foie gras, confit, chestnut mushrooms and cherry bounce. Y’all, I’ve had foie gras, but never before like this. An intensely flavorful silky texture that literally bursts on your tongue. It was absolutely divine. Dessert was hummingbird cake with creole cheesecake, bruleed banana and pineapple ice cream. I just don’t know what to say except the pastry chef knows exactly what she is doing!! This was definitely meal to remember with the love of my life, my favorite dining companion, and my partner in culinary escapades. I love our journey of flavorful adventures, seasoned with spice and a love that mirrors the diversity of a well-crafted menu. Here’s to more delicious chapters in our love story, baby, where every bite is a beautiful reminder of the incredible life we share! Cheers!! 🥂🥂“

“My husband and I were passing through and stopped for lunch. OMG! I miss good BBQ and this hit the spot. Highly recommend. The staff is amazing, they even brought my dog a bowl of water. I will be back when passing through again.“

“We just stayed at the Inn and it was beautiful! What I love the most are the staff. They’re very welcoming, helped us out a lot and made everything in our stay perfect! I didn’t quite catch their names but the bartender and the man that gave us breakfast Thank yall so much! We will definitely come back to stay again! Also the food and drinks are phenomenal!“

“Best Overall meal of our whole trip in New Orleans - from the food to the atmosphere to the service and the drinks. We had the muffaletta, gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice, and bread pudding. All was fantastic, and we will definitely go back next time we're in NOLA.“

“Delicious and charming! Go!!“

“My family and I absolutely love this place. We go to the Elmwood location most of the time! The staff is always friendly and helpful! Our only issue is we never know what to choose from because it’s all so good! Thank you District Donuts for always keeping your standards high and food fresh!“

“Amazing restaurant. Thanks Francesca and staff for a great meal.“

“Best breakfast I had ever had! Will think about this food till we come Back!“

“Bob Boudreau and I were in NOLA for 9 nights. Three of the nights we had reservations at other places with family. Our 1st night we looked up and found Jewel of the South. We loved it so much. we asked our nephew, his medical school advisor and his wife to join us. All three lived in NOLA and had never been here. All 5 of us would definitely go back in a heart beat. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. Great staff. GREAT ALL AROUND! FIVE STARS for Jewel of the South.“

“Can one of my most beautiful experiences? Louisiana delicious food and very friendly people very kind it really was wonderful to celebrate our anniversary in this place.“

“Great! Good good. Vibe good. Beer good. All good.“

“It’s dark, it’s cool, and they’ll play 60’s/70’s rock gems as the house music. The food is pretty good too. This is my favorite spot I’ve found after several years living in The Quarter. The vibe is perfect. Its the darkness and the music that really makes me not want to leave. It’s rock’n’roll without being a dive. Oh yeah, did I say the food is pretty good too?“

“Would highly recommend this place for breakfast! The food is absolutely amazing! I visited in February 2025 and I wish I found it sooner in my trip to New Orleans. If I visited New Orleans again I know where I’d be going for breakfast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food was not what I expected, it was hot, fresh, and beautifully presented.“

“Beggars Banquet is an absolute gem! The food was outstanding every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Their craft cocktails are spectacular and some of the best I've had. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable, making it the perfect place to enjoy a great meal and unwind. I highly recommend Beggars Banquet and can't wait to come back!“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in New Orleans was at Toups! We had a charcuterie board with their house made hogs head cheese, chicken liver mousse and foie gras accompanied by house pickles. Simply incredible!! The hogs head cheese was the best I’ve ever had! I especially loved the chunkiness of it with nice pieces of tender pork! The crispy turkey necks! Oh my goodness… AMAZING! The braised lamb neck entree was exquisite with a generous portion and crispy spaetzle! Even leftover, it was great!! I also had their pork chop and applesauce cocktail which was creative and also delicious!! I highly recommend this restaurant! Great work Chef Isaac and team!“

“Very good food. Service was wonderful“

“Had a chance to jump over to the new location this morning and the food remained completely on point. Much better parking situation and just a few minutes further down the road. The best improvement with the new space is the amazing dining room for folks who want to sit down and eat. Loved the decor, the new mascot and best of all, the same super friendly staff. Thanks!!!“

“The food was excellent and our server Ashley was great!!“

“Stellar food, service, and atmosphere!“

“Really wonderful meal. Authentic vibe, spinach salad was amazing it could’ve fed two people. Great service and price.“

“Meril, Meril how I love you This is one of our favorite spots to go for date night or just meeting some friends for dinner and delicious cocktails. Service is always top-notch. We usually have a main waiter and then someone assisting with the table. But don't take that as a stuffy, uppity place to be, it's very casual and nice to have servers taking care of the table all throughout the meals. Apps: we decided to make a meal out of appetizers, and we kind of went overboard. Definitely small plates but big enough to share with leftovers if you do it right. We decided to order appetizers and make that our meal. We chose the Bacon Braised Collard Greens from the daily specials. We also chose Smoked Fish Dip, Crispy Cod Sliders, Deviled Eggs, Korean Fried Chicken Wings and Pad Thai Cauliflower For cocktails we started with English Turn(grapefruit but not sour), Tchoup(cucumber deliciousness) and Albariño(smooth white wine). All so good! It was also our 11 year anniversary and they surprised us with some cotton candy and a sparkler! Perfection!“

“OMG. Daphne was bartending upstairs and she was the greatest. She listened to what I wanted and crafted the exact cocktail. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary then come here. Daphne is the greatest. By the way the doorman rocks too!!!! Love this place. Will be back.“

“This is one of the truly great hotels in America. The rooms are wonderful, the Polo Club bar is fantastic, but what really makes the hotel is the staff. They are to a person, the most welcoming and professional staff you’ll ever meet in a hotel setting.“

“Craft cocktails the expert old fashion way“

“Excellent service from Alissa. Fried onion ring appetizer excellent batter. Seared tuna salad highly recommend!“

“We found Two Chicks Cafe by accident this morning and are so pleased! Excellent breakfast food, service and prices. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Alright so this place is sort of hidden-ish but I’m so glad I found it. I’ve been twice this past week and the reason I came back is because the bartender is also the DJ and he was so much fun (Noah, I think?). He was super helpful and played really great music. Might be my new regular spot for vibes alone!“

“Beautiful courtyard and delicious food. Our waiter"s recommendations were spot on. Would definitely return.“

“This is the best breakfast ever! Friendly staff, great food, love the mom and pop atmosphere. ❤️“

“Had a solo dinner here tonight and received fantastic food and service. The beef fat griddled waygu and potato pave were sensational - pair it with the corn babies for an over the top experience. The bar was equally wonderful; the Autumn Oracle was especially noteworthy. Service was so loving and friendly; I lingered far longer than necessary just to savor and converse. If the persimmon ice cream is available, GET IT. PS — I see racists and homophobes have review-bombed these folks, so bring your queer dollars and support the family as they serve up amazing eats and inclusivity.“
