    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.

    Outstanding service and likely the best meal I've eaten all year. I had the pork chop and my wife had the gulf fish. We also shared a side of fried Brussels spouts and a cup of gumbo. The main dishes had amazing accompaniments that paired together deliciously. The gumbo was smooth and rich and the Brussels sprouts had a miso honey drizzle that put them over the top. You really can't go wrong with anything you order here. Definitely gonna make this a regular stop when we visit NOLA again.

    The food and service was amazing. I had the cheeseburger and my sister had the lamb burger. We both enjoyed. We also had the fresh cut fries and onion rings. For dessert we tried the hot apple spring roll with ice cream. We enjoyed our dinning experience. Everything was exceptional.
