    Everyone was friendly and warm! More delicious food than we could eat! If you have a chance to celebrate a birthday here, just know that you will have a blast! Couldn’t have ended our stay on a brighter note than this charming, delightful restaurant! (And try the Bananas Foster, even if you don’t especially like bananas, the sauce even just on the vanilla ice cream, the story, it’s worth it even if you end up feeding most of the banana to your dining companion. ^_^) Six star service!

    My first experience at this restaurant and thought it was wonderful! Very good food along with a variety of options on the menu that all looked great. Outside of the food and menu options, I do not like restaurants that enforce a 4% tip for the kitchen plus a 20% auto gratuity. That’s 24% forced onto the consumer. Not a fan of this at all. There are several great restaurants in NO so it will be tough for me to return to this place with this fee practice. If this doesn’t concern you as a consumer, then give them a try. But for me, it’s possibly a “one and done” experience.

    Jack Rose was a 10/10. This is an upscale, luxury dining experience with the gorgeous decor/ambience AND delicious food served in generous portions. My party and I came here to celebrate a birthday and we were not disappointed. This is our first trip to New Orleans and this dining experience being our first has set the bar high.

    Wonderful experience, again! Took our visiting friend for lunch! Everything was superb! Started with the Frozen Cranberry Martini, move on to the baked oysters, split the best red fish almondaine ever and house salad with 2 great dressings! Oh forgot the puff potatoes, make sure you gobble them up when they come out warm! Had a minor mess up when the put sauce on top of seafood omelette, but corrected it immediately, and it was so light and fluffy and so full of crabmeat and shrimp! Couldn’t ask for a better experience dining at this iconic place! Back to being my go-to spot!
