Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Jefferson

We greatly enjoyed our Thanksgiving Day experience. We sat outside and with the wind, it was a little chilly but not unbearable. If the overhead heater near us worked, that would have been good. We really enjoyed the food served family-style and our waitress served us at our requested pace. Two things for improvement: (1) the Brussels sprouts were nearly raw (they replaced them with deep-fried, not roasted; appreciate the effort though not the same) and (2) the Cremant we started with was properly chilled but the Pinot Noir was warm and not at cellar temperature, which it should be at a Brennan’s restaurant.

When booking with OpenTable, we weren't able to get a reservation until 815. We are from Eastern standard time so we're quite hungry. We stopped in at 5:30 to see if we could change our reservation and they were able to change it to 630. So polite and accommodating from the first moment. The service was exquisite, so friendly and happy. I wish I had gotten the waitress's name. And everyone was happily accommodating when my daughter wanted her steak cooked a little bit more. My lobster was fantastic. Perfectly cooked. Just wish it had been bigger. Overall worthy expense and fun to go to old historic restaurant. 

We had just arrived in NOLA for 5 days and came here for dinner after just arriving. It was a fun, lively place with good food. Our waiter, Michael, was very good. Great choices were fried oysters, pork chop (yum) and smoked fish. Very good food.

The service was impeccable, and the food was delicious.

We dined at The Bower on a Monday night. It was quiet but very enjoyable. The service was great and the food was amazing! We started with Tuna Crudo, Gala Apple & Brussels Sprouts Salad then enjoyed the Cacio e Pepe pasta and Short Rib entree. All were delicious and presented nicely!
