Everything was cooked perfectly and the brussel sprouts opened our eyes! Imagine elotes from a corn man but brussel sprouts and even better. the drinks were fantastic as well.

“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.“

“Great food and wonderful atmosphere“

“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?“

“Excellent bubbles, food and service“

“The fancy drinks 🍹 are titillating and the appetizers are fantastic. However, the entrees were not impressive. The chicken was served undercooked and the shrimp dish was overcooked and very greasy. Ambiance is what you pay for here and the delicate mix of intoxicating flavors in their cocktails! Staff is very friendly!“

The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back!“

“We stopped by for our last evening in New Orleans. They had a long list of mocktails and n/a beers, which were perfect for our family. The food tasted different from other Thai food we have had - some more like Indian food and some more like Chinese food. We got two appetizers (okra & tofu satay) and two entrees (a tofu noodle soup and a jackfruit curry). We also got a small slice of the chai cheesecake - which I didn't know at the time cost $22! There are awards on the wall that show that the chef won 2 New Orleans vegan cooking contests. Service was very nice and attentive. 20% tip is included and there are signs saying that this is to help them pay a living wage. Two appetizers, 2 entrees, one Thai iced tea, one n/a beer, 3 mocktails, and one small slice of cheesecake came to $175 including the tip. You can decide if that's what you're looking for! I'd say our average meal in New Orleans, buying one of just about every vegan option and sharing it at many different restaurants, cost about $80, so this is much more expensive. Bonus though, they give you pandan water, which we discovered is delicious! Updated from previous review on 2025-04-11“

“Really great staff and extremely fresh and delicious ingredients. Breakfast smoked salmon dish was really, really good.“

“Outstanding service and food! I just had the pecan crusted drum and it was nothing short of amazing! Highly recommended!“

“Stopped in for brunch before a show at the Saenger. We mainly chose here because of the convenience, but we’re so glad we did! Food was excellent and staff was very friendly. Our children enjoyed everything too! Mofongo was delicious and I appreciated the mocktail the bartender made for my daughter. 10/10 recommend.“

“The food was fabulous! Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Love this place! Great cocktails and food.“

“Well established bakery for sure. This place was recommended by a friend who is a local. We tried pecan meltaways and eclairs. Both were delicious. We would come back if we visit New Orleans again.

Parking: Free parking, but limited spots“

“Had to visit as I heard this was one of the best places to get donuts and coffee. Came here on our last night after dinner and got the espresso with ice cream and a shake along with a cinnamon roll to share with my honey. The shake was a perfect consistency. Then came here again the day we were leaving out as they have Koloches. Haven’t seen those since we lived in Texas. It was pretty good but that Vietnamese coffee 🤤🤤🤤 it was soo good. I’m craving it now as I write this. Then got some donuts for the road. All very good. Highly recommend this place.“

“They make the best Chocolate Sorbet in the world!“

“During a trip to New Orleans a place you must stop to eat is The Stanley. The food is amazing and is only outdone by the staff. I recommend the breakfast sandwich and the loaded grits. I even picked up a sandwich for the flight home.“
