Muriels Jackson Square - (Near New Orleans, LA)

4 /5 Nyor Mirror: My son and I made advanced online reservations for a weekday dinner at 5:30 pm. We picked Muriel’s because they offered the 4-course Reveillon 2025 exclusive menu, only available for 23 days in December. We were seated immediately at a low-top table in one of the lower dining rooms. I noticed they did not have table linens, and the silverware was rolled rather than set. We had alternating servers who were professional but not personable. All four courses were exquisite, from the turtle soup to the lamb. Unfortunately, the enjoyment was spoiled by a large party near us celebrating a birthday. They were loud and obnoxious, acting like they were at a sports bar on bourbon, not at an upscale restaurant that required collared shirts and cost $100+ a person. My son mentioned it to one of the managers, and he just apologized and nothing else. I would have appreciated it if he had spoken with the table or moved us to a quieter part of the restaurant. They did not miss on the food. It was excellent. They missed the experience, which would cause me not to return. Please do not portray yourself as refined and upscale, and then back it up.

5 /5 Sinem Altunbas: We spent the last week of December in NOLA and had an incredible dinner at Muriel’s. My husband and I both chose the Table d’Hôte menu, and honestly, it was a great decision. The Turtle Soup and the Shrimp and Goat Cheese Crêpes were absolutely delicious. For our mains, we had the Shrimp and Grits and the Pecan-Crusted Drum, both were perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and genuinely memorable. We finished with the Bread Pudding (that rum sauce… wow) and the Pecan Tart, and they were the perfect end to the night. Beyond the food, the vibe was great. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the price felt very fair for how much we got and how good everything was. If you’re in the French Quarter, definitely put Muriel’s on your list. I already want to go back!

5 /5 Wayne Ferguson: Muriels Jackson Square is a true gem in the French quarter. The moment you walk in your greeted by a space thats wonderfully decorated warm and inviting yet with a charm that makes you feel like youve stepped back in time. Its the perfect blend of comfort and history we only stopped in for drinks but they were crafted to perfection. Every sip reflected attention to detail in quality. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming making the experience even more enjoyable. Even though we didnt dine here the atmosphere and service alone guaranteed that will be back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a spot that combines Elegance hospitality and a touch of New Orleans Magic.

5 /5 Jorge de la Vega: Muriel’s Jackson Square is a restaurant that clearly takes excellence seriously—not only in its food, but in every aspect of the experience. From the moment you arrive, the quality of the service, the attention to detail, and the professionalism of the staff set the tone for what follows. The recipes are thoughtfully executed, the wine selection is carefully curated, and the way dishes are paired and presented shows real culinary intention. Every course feels balanced and purposeful, and the desserts are simply outstanding—refined, memorable, and perfectly timed to close the meal. Muriel’s is not just a great restaurant; it is a place that truly honors the spirit and legacy of New Orleans cuisine. Dining here feels like a tribute to NOLA’s gastronomic tradition, elevated with elegance and consistency.

5 /5 Taylor Stringam: I stopped in here for a solo dinner while visiting New Orleans and Im so glad I did. The service was excellent, and the staff all made excellent drink and food recommendations. All the food I ordered was very good, but the pork chops were absolutely delicious (maybe the best pork chops Ive ever eaten?). Go for the prix fixe menu if you have the time and the appetite for three courses! They also have a pretty good wine selection and their cocktails were unique and delicious!
