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!
