    Rice Vice - Part Two is such a cool addition to the neighborhood, and honestly, exactly the kind of spot Algiers Point needed. The original location opened in Nashville, but this New Orleans outpost feels right at home with its warm wood interior, vinyl-lined shelves, and that unmistakable neighborhood energy. I'm not much of a drinker, so I told Richard -- our bartender -- that I was looking for something fun but non-alcoholic. He greeted me with a huge smile, ice water, and a small bowl of roasted corn nuts (which were incredible, by the way). Right away, I knew I was in good hands. I went with the Chai Sour mocktail, and it was absolutely delightful. Sweet, sparkling, cold, and balanced -- easily one of the best mocktails I've had anywhere in the city. The vibe inside is magic. The air was filled with Marvin Gaye, Al Green, and other soulful vinyl classics spinning in the background. They even do a "bring your own vinyl" Sunday, inviting neighbors to share and mix records -- how many places do that anymore? Between the great drinks, welcoming staff, and the soulful soundtrack, this place is a gem. I'm genuinely glad Rice Vice is in my neighborhood, and I'll definitely be back often with my wife. Algiers Point got lucky with this one. Highly recommend.

    We loooved Rice Vice! This place is situated in this "hidden" door adjacent to the pizza parlor. The bartender knew everything about Japanese drinks & explained to us what a lot of the menu meant. The drinks were STRONG. I'd come back to try something a little lighter. We got the drinks on the other side of the menu. I forgot what it was called, but you can definitely make do with 1-2 drinks there. I wanna go back to try to the cocktails next time! I love their little snacks to munch on, def a nice touch! When we walked in, they asked if we had reservations & we didn't, but they were still able to seat us right away. I'd say if you plan on going on a weekend., maybe look into getting a reservation prior or calling ahead before you make the drive. Come thirsty & prepared to learn about drinks originated from across the world!

    Nice ambiance, and great service. Small, quaint, fun, and delightful. Reservation required... it's teeny in there

The Bastille cup was also delicious. Super smooth. Jewel sazerac was my first sazerac cocktail! I don't really have anything to compare it to, but it tasted awesome. Patio was really nice in the evening. Service was decent.

    I walked into Jewel of the South expecting a refined cocktail and dining experience based on the…read moreoverwhelming online praise, but unfortunately the evening never fully came together. The highlight of the meal was easily the CALAS appetizer. The snapper pastrami brought a wonderful smoky depth that paired beautifully with the horseradish cream, and it was one of the few dishes that felt balanced, intentional, and memorable. A genuinely excellent start. Things became more disappointing once the entrees and cocktails arrived. The Rohan duck breast itself was cooked very well -- tender, properly rendered, and clearly prepared with care -- but what was never communicated by the staff was just how sweet the overall composition of the dish would be. Pairing that with cocktails that also leaned heavily sweet made the entire meal feel one-note and overwhelming by the midpoint of dinner. The red beans and rice suffered from the same issue. Despite the spice topping, the dish skewed surprisingly sweet and didn't complement the duck at all. What frustrated me most was that this felt entirely avoidable. At a restaurant with a cocktail reputation this strong, I would expect the wait staff to guide guests toward drinks that balance the meal rather than amplify the sweetness already present in multiple courses. Instead, no recommendations or warnings were offered, and the meal suffered because of it. I was especially underwhelmed by the Harlequin cocktail, which seems to receive a massive amount of online hype. In practice, it simply didn't justify the reputation. It wasn't bad, but it lacked the complexity and "wow" factor you would expect from a signature drink that's so heavily talked about. Overall, there are flashes of excellence here, particularly in the appetizer course and technical preparation, but the lack of thoughtful service and pairing guidance made the experience feel far less polished than advertised.
