On a drive back from Florida to Texas, my daughter and I only had time for one night in New Orleans. The concierge at our hotel suggested Muriel’s and I am SO happy he did. I could tell you the service was attentive without being intrusive and that the ambience and decor were filled with details that made it all that much better. Both of those statements are true and yet, the food still manages to stand out as the star. We started with the goat cheese and shrimp crepes, which were beyond words delicious. My daughter had the filet because well, steak. I had the shrimp and grits. Born and raised in Massachusetts, grits have never been my favorite but if I could have finished the grits on my plate, I would have! They were so well-cooked and seasoned and just filled with love. We splurged for dessert too and both were delicious! (Yes we took home leftovers) If you’re in New Orleans and have the chance, don’t miss out on this gem. It was so well worth it and I hope to go back again!

Highly recommend making a reservation for Muriel's Jackson Square — this place gets busy fast. We ended up sitting at the bar and still had a wonderful experience. The drinks were excellent across the board: the Hurricane packed the right punch, The Saint 75 was refreshing and elegant, and even the Blackberry Basil Spritz mocktail was flavorful and well-balanced. The turtle soup with sherry was definitely an interesting experience and worth trying if you want something classic New Orleans. Food-wise, the shrimp and crepes were absolutely delicious. The pork chop with mashed potatoes and collard greens was excellently done — tender, flavorful, and comforting without feeling too heavy. Dessert closed the night on a strong note: the crème brûlée was rich and creamy with that perfect crack on top, while the chocolate pecan tart was a solid sweet finish. Definitely a spot worth visiting in the French Quarter.

What an unforgettable evening at Muriel's! From the moment we walked in, the historic charm of this Jackson Square gem had us hooked. The ambiance is perfect—elegant yet warm, with that classic New Orleans vibe that makes you feel like you're stepping back in time. Our servers, Marian and Stacy, were absolutely outstanding! They were attentive, friendly, and full of fantastic recommendations that made our experience even better. Thanks to them, we ordered the Crawfish Crêpes, which were honestly out of this world—rich, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and packed with that authentic Creole taste. Every bite was pure perfection. We also loved the cocktails, starting with the signature Vampire's Kiss (dangerously delicious!) and working our way through several other drinks that were all crafted beautifully. Everything was top-notch. If you're in the French Quarter, do yourself a favor and book a table at Muriel's. Whether it's for a special occasion or just a night out, you won't be disappointed. Marian and Stacy made us feel like VIPs, and the food and drinks delivered beyond expectations. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend!

Muriel's Jackson is like eating in an establishment from the 1800's. The building is vintage. The rooms of the restaurant are like a house. There is a living room, a sitting room, a dining room, in the back of the restaurant is a vintage bar. Reservations are probably required. The atmosphere gives a fun vibe with artsy decorations of vintage plates and art. This evening in addition to our server we had two other people assisting our table. The server suggested the evenings 'Soup de Jour' which was roasted tomato and crab. Very good. For our entrees I selected the three course dinner that has an option of wine pairing. I enjoyed the soup, an almond crusted white fish and dessert was their warm bread pudding with a bourbon sauce. My husband had the staple Blackened Red Fish. Our server informed us the chef recommends ordering a dollop of crap on top, which he did. This was a mistake. The amount of crab was small, and did not benefit the dish. They charged $21 for this 'sprinkling' of crab. Everything else was very tasty and enjoyable.

We had reservations on a Wed evening at 7:15 for the "ghost table". We were promptly seated. We knew the story of the building and it's resident ghost(s) from our pub crawl tour (which was fun). The table is as described on Muriel's website, tucked into a corner by the staircase leading upstairs to the Seance Room. There was a place set for Mesuer Jordan, including a glass of red wine. We were respectful of this setting and did not disturb anything. We did notice the evaporation marks on his wine glass, not sure if that indicates that they reuse and refill the same glass day after day or if the wine had been sitting there for days (long enough to evaporate as much as the marks indicate). We had the scallops for the appetizer, absolutely delicious. I ordered the crab curry soup and hubby ordered the pear salad. Delicious! We both had the tenderloin fillet, and I can honestly say I have never had a steak so tender and delicious, almost a buttery consistency, soooo good. Our waitress was considerate and attentive, even the manager checked on us a few times. Now for the downside. As indicated on their website, the table is at the bottom of a stairway, and over the course of the almost 2 hrs we were seated, about 35-40 people, a couple at a time, walked through the area, some talking to us, others just quietly walking by. Also, the group 'tours' previously mentioned (pub crawl tour, ghost tour, vampire tour, etc) appeared at the door looking into the room, a group every 5-10 minutes, and they looked in and took pictures as their guide explained the history (and we ate our dinner). So, all in all, a unique and wonderful experience. But if anything spiritual was going to happen, I think it was just too busy and noisy (they had Gregorian chanting playing pretty loudly). But still recommend as a great dining experience!
