I feel like New Orleans was a little late to the game with these types of places, but now we have a decent array (typically at hotels like this one). And like most of the other rooftop bars at hotels, you don't have to be a hotel guest to take advantage! This past Saturday evening was surprisingly quiet up there, possibly due to White Linen happening on the other side of the CBD. I wasn't complaining, believe me! It was perfect out there for me and just when I thought things couldn't possibly get better, I saw the cocktail menu. Frosé, baby! Passionfruit frosé, yes please. Also, prices are not as high as you'd expect. My guy got a $3 Modelo. Frosé was $8. Pretty views of the surrounding buildings, fairy lights against the dark summer sky and a slight breeze... living my best life with a glass of frozé in mah hand. Thanks, Catahoula!

During one of the busiest weekends of the year, that's simply unacceptable. As a regular customer, I expect businesses to prioritize their guests' comfort. It felt like customer experience wasn't a priority, and that's disappointing for a venue with such a great reputation. I hope management does better in the future because no one should have to spend their time and money in those conditions.

Guide greets you when you walk in and is close by throughout your experience. You learn about the history , there are plenty of touch free experiences which are cool. I liked learning about the foods and how to prepare them at this counter. Going up the elevator was cool bc there is a short video on your way up. The view was amazing from the inside and that's where you take a pic The highest level is when you go outside , it's very windy so you couldn't really enjoy it for long. There is a small deli to get snacks or your drink. On your way out, you look at the pic that you take which is worth it. You get three pics for $30 in front of nice backgrounds. Comes w the digitals which you could have enlarged or share . Definitely worth it. I've been coming to Mew Orleans for years but there's nothing wrong with having professional pics. The photographer is very nice as well. Great staff and experience.

No music, no food service, or anything that shows that tried to create a nice vibe. It's literally just some chairs on the rooftop. The bar has a bartender, not mixologist, who makes drinks that I can make better at home. The little drinks are served un-garnished in tiny plastic cups and cost $15+. Not to mention they will take whatever tip amount they like out if you forget to close your tab. So my basic plastic cup of lemon, sugar, and a splash of vodka (I can't even call it a lemon drop) was $20. I wish I had taken a photo of how tiny the cups are.

I was served a "large" gumbo, and I don't even want to know how small the lesser size serving might be. The Dungeness crab leg thrown into the gumbo was a nice touch -- something to crack it open so you can eat it would have been a really nice touch, too. They didn't have a nut cracker or anything, so I guess that crab leg was decorative? I ordered a house salad, and by dictionary definition I guess it was a salad. It had three ingredients: wilted iceberg lettuce, croutons, and a couple of fridge-aged cherry tomatoes of the flavorless variety. Bet the profit margin on that salad is HUGE! I don't go out to dinner because I want to heap more profit on someone's margins -- I want good food. I can't say enough about the great staff at this restaurant, and I truly mean that.. They're friendly, hard working and they really make you feel special as a customer. The service is nothing less than excellent, and I know what to look for in this regard -- you may have seen my long history of reviews on Yelp. I bet even the staff is bothered by the odor of urine wafting through the restaurant from the men's room. I certainly was. Bottom line: this place could be world-class if it had new management. Let's hope that happens soon.

The view is of buildings and the very top of the Superdome but it's in a city, what else do you want? The sunset made everything glow which was cool (in the winter you get a sunset with your happy hour)! It's definitely "3 seasons" with large windows that I assume are open in warmer weather. In colder weather they have heaters which is a nice touch. The staff was friendly and responsive. We have been making our list of things to see and do while here and they happily looked it over, giving us suggestions of where to go and where to avoid, which was very cool of them! It was most crowded around 5 and emptied out around 6. They stay open until 11, so not sure what the later night crowd looks like. They also have a pop up kitchen that is staffed by different restaurants each day (Check their website for who). We got tasty empanadas from Krewe du Crave.

From the moment we arrived, the experience was wonderful. We were immediately greeted by the hostess and seated right away. The restaurant itself has such a cool, funky vibe... the artwork, greenery, and giant disco ball in the middle of the dining room make the whole space feel fun and unique. Our waiter was absolutely incredible. He was patient, kind, attentive, and gave us some great recommendations throughout the meal. We started with the Pork Cheeks, served over polenta with Creole meunière, and they were absolutely incredible!!! We also ordered the CinnaBomb which was a warm cinnamon bun with pecan-maple caramel that was every bit as good as it sounds. My mother-in-law ordered a cup of the Duck & Andouille Gumbo and is STILL raving about it LOL. For my entrée, I had the Fried Chicken Benedict... which was fried chicken with buffalo sauce, poached eggs, hollandaise, and a buttermilk corn biscuit. It was magical and easily one of the best Benedicts I've ever had. I also ordered a side of their stone-ground grits because I couldn't get enough of them... YUM! They're made with cream cheese and butter, and they are SO creamy and delicious. My boyfriend and mother-in-law both ordered the Shrimp + Grits with NOLA BBQ, andouille, piquillo peppers, and roasted corn, and they both loved them. They said the dish was incredibly flavorful. My father-in-law ordered the Chorizo Hash, which normally comes with poached eggs, but he prefers scrambled eggs and they were more than happy to accommodate the substitution. We were way too full for dessert by the end, but honestly, everything we tried was fantastic. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the wonderful service, Jack Rose was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend for brunch in New Orleans. We will absolutely be back!

Whoa, it's one of those places that's deceiving in appearance! Looks small on the outside but plenty of room on the inside!

Ordered a hurricane to enjoy as I listen to the live music for entertainment. It was pretty mellow, so it was a good change from the loud (and some dissonant) sounds we just experienced walking through Bourbon. So it was a good place to end our Bourbon Street pub/bar crawl before going back to the hotel for some much needed rest... ...
