Restaurants near Jackson Square, New Orleans

Booked dinner for my wife's 50th birthday. It turned out to be the perfect choice! We were well taken care of by Jessica (our server) and the staff. The food was amazing, I had the chicken Tableau, and my wife had the shrimp and grits. The Chicken Tableau was one the best chicken entrees I've ever had. My wife had rave reviews of her shrimp and grits as well. My wife said this was exactly the dining experience she was looking for to celebrate her birthday.

Brennan is simply the best restaurant in New Orleans. Every part our dining experience was perfect from being greeted at reception to having our server help my husband on with his coat. The menu choices are amazing. My husband is still talking about his redfish choice. I chose duck. It’s the best I have ever tasted. Our waiter was so friendly. We had so many different servers attending to every need imaginable. What a delightful special place to have experienced. I can’t wait to go back.

This has been the best restaurant in New Orleans we have experienced. The service was attentive, especially since we had a child in the group. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was excellent, even tho the room seemed noisy, we had a corner round table for six of us and could talk in normal tones and everyone was heard. A perfect evening. So glad it was recommended to us!

We had a wonderful Réveillon dinner experience at Tujague’s on Christmas Eve. The oysters Tujague’s were outstanding as were the duck leg confit and the short ribs. Our servers were friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. This was our first trip to New Orleans and our server even made some suggestions for other places to visit while in town. All in all it was a fantastic visit. We not only look forward to taking another trip to NOLA but making a return visit to Tujague’s as well.

As always Antoine's was excellent. Antoine's is the #1 fine dining experience available anywhere in New Orleans, and it has never disappointed. My wife and I have been coming here for 27 years and have enjoyed each visit. The staff was professional, courteous, and easy to summon if we had a request for something. They have a pride in their establishment that comes across in their dealings with customers. Very few restaurants, even in New Orleans, can say that any longer. Russell and Roland were both consummate professionals and took exceptionally good care of us. And it was great to see Charles Carter again. Charles waited on us on our first visit 27 years ago and many times since, and has always made sure we're taken care of. The Reveillon menu dishes were prepared perfectly and were delicious as always. I was pleasantly surprised to see a NY Strip as a choice for the main course and both my wife and I received our steaks cooked perfectly. We even had a special request for dessert and it was handled with no problems. If you're coming to New Orleans, Antoine's is a must. How many restaurants can say they have been in business with the same family since 1840? I hope to still be around to enjoy a visit in their 200th anniversary year in 2040.
