Best Cozy Restaurants in New Orleans

The drink selection are varied and thoughtful assembled. We discovered this because our waitress was so good at talking us through the menu. There are classic cocktails to the region as well as new inventions for the season. The decor is cozy and whimsical. The food was inventive and very creative. Potatoes with pimento cheese and onions was insanely good. There could have been a few more robust veggie options. My husband had fish and loved it. The deserts were really creative. Again, the best part was our waitress she was phenomenal. She guided us thoughtfully through the menu.

Wonderful experience our server Kayla was the best. Gave the best recommendations. Definitely will be back.

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.

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!

It was such a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, and I couldn’t help but rave about it to anyone who’d listen. The service was fantastic they were efficient and friendly. The decor and ambience were so clean, chic, and beautiful. I cannot recommend this place enough!!
