About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Wed, Fri

One Yelp reviewer called it 'the best cocktail program in town.' Jewel of the South sits in Treme with an intimate garden courtyard and an internationally inspired menu that blends American, European, and Cajun-Creole influences. It's a fine-dining spot where you'll find a mixed crowd of 30- to 50-somethings on dates or celebrating special occasions.

Reservations are recommended here; you can book ahead for dinner. The garden is the prime seating, and the full bar and happy hour make it a lively spot from Wednesdays through Fridays. It's romantic but not stuffy, and the outdoor seating is a big draw year-round.
