Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Central Business District

I had the pleasure of dining at Bourbon House recently, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance set the tone for a delightful evening. The highlight, however, was undoubtedly the food prepared by Chef Jerrod, which was nothing short of spectacular. We started with an appetizer that was a perfect balance of flavors and textures, showcasing Chef Jarett’s incredible ability to elevate even the simplest ingredients. For the main course, I opted for the steak, cooked to perfection — tender, juicy, and beautifully seasoned. The side dishes were equally impressive, each one thoughtfully prepared and complementing the main dish wonderfully. Gavin, our server, was attentive and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations on both food and drink pairings. He had a great sense of timing and made sure we felt well taken care of without being intrusive. His service added an extra layer of warmth to the already welcoming atmosphere. Overall, Bourbon House offers an exceptional dining experience — the food, drinks, service, and desserts are all top-notch. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an outstanding meal with a warm, inviting atmosphere.

It was amazing! Can’t believe this place has been here for 10 years and we never knew. We did t try the oysters but they all looked amazing! The pork skins and red bean butter were so good! The crawfish pie…. Wow ….. and a very good burger with crispy wedge fries! Will def be back.

We visited the original location 15 years ago and were warmly greeted and had one of the best intimate dining experiences at the hidden gem. It was a MUST visit for this trip. We were pleasantly surprised Irene’s has expanded and the service has maintained the experience! If in New Orleans this is one of the greatest dining experiences all around. Thank you Irene and your team!

Justine is one of our favorite New Orleans restaurants. We love the atmosphere and decor. The service is always amazing and Jazz was no exception. She was warm, friendly and always attentive. She even remembered my wife from a previous visit and offered us a complimentary champagne flute. The entire meal from the appetizers to dessert was delicious. I can’t say enough kind words about Justine.

Everything was Absolutely Phenomenal! We were there to celebrate my brother in law's bday. My mom and I arrived a little early so we sat at the bar and had a preliminary drink at the bar. Jonah, the bartender makes the best Dirty Martinis. The rest of our party arrived about 15 mins later and we were sat. Victor, our server, provided an amazing guided experience through the menu. He was so genuinely kind and patient with us. My sister has a shellfish allergy and my mom only wanted to eat cooked beef, Victor still took his time and made the dinner special for us all. His reccommendations were spot on. The service was lightenting fast. We did not have to wait for anything, and the dining room was pretty busy. Several team members stopped by the table to check on us throughout the meal including the manager, who chatted with us for a few moments.
