My hubby and I have been coming here for several years. It is absolutely one of the finest restaurants we have ever eaten at (and we have traveled and eaten all over the world.) Charming atmosphere, fabulous staff who are knowledgeable, fun, engaging and attentive. The food is phenomenal - delicious and inventive, always fresh. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this restaurant is! Don’t miss it when in New Orleans!

Very well planned Creole and Cajun menu. Excellent assortment for everyone. Only comment, portion sizes are huge. Might be worth splitting a plate. The catfish Decatur had the best jambalaya I've ever had.

As a local, this is one of my top restaurants to visit. The food is great, service is impeccable, and it is a fun evening out. They create a fun and friendly atmosphere while bringing you traditional NOLA dishes. This is a MUST when visiting the city

    Jewel of the south is a true jewel! The cocktail selection was creative and tasty. We had small bites and a meal. The flavors were distinctive and pleasing on the palate. The setting was beautiful,we ate in the courtyard which was picturesque. Service was impeccable, all items delivered to our table were explained. Loved celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary there!
