This is one of the best dinners I’ve had in a long time. I took a number of the review suggestions and ordered them. Started with the lobster dumplings, beet salad, swordfish (hubby), scalibut (me), then the salty malty ice cream for dessert. The scalibut was AMAZING! The rolls were over the top. I was worried about the dessert because I am not a malt fan but this dessert was so good. Highly recommend GW Fins, but make a reservation as this restaurant is extremely popular. Note there is a dress code. But the dress code is very reasonable.

Just my opinion & I know it’s a reason that they operate the way they do. But the idea of not being able to split the check is confusing to me. Just because everyone shows up together doesn’t mean that they’re together. Also the service charge on the website needs to be updated to match the current menu.

About the restaurant

The Bistro at Muriel’s Jackson Square offers contemporary Creole cuisine with New Orleans classics like Seafood Gumbo, Turtle soup, Shrimp & Grits and Wood Grilled Pork Chop while the Courtyard Bar is the perfect place to drop by for drinks and appetizers. The Séance Lounge is the place for a relaxed, comfortable meeting before or after dining. Comprised of two areas, The Outer Seance and The Inner Séance, the Séance also tells the story of a mystic checkered past. The Outer Séance addresses the New Orleans era of Storyville when Muriel's Jackson Square was one of the French Quarter's top bordellos! The Inner Séance is the preferred domain of the resident ghost, Pierre Antoine Lepardi Jourdan; it's the perfect spot for an intimate conversation or a drink among its plush surroundings. The 170 foot wrap-around balcony is a splendid spot for enjoying our specialty cocktails or our extensive wine list featuring over 300 selections from around the world.
