coming down for JF and want to make a reservation for our group. Have done the Jacque Imos thing, and although great, want to try someplace new....everyone complains about waiting there, but I find it to be part of the... (5 replies, last updated by foodmuse April 4, 2003)

The cajuntini (substitute hot cherry pepper for olives) is still fun. The alligator shrimp cheesecake was stale. But the fried chicken is still as good as any. (0 replies, last updated by guttergourmet July 23, 2007)

What do you all think of Jacques Imos? I was thinking about making a reservation for during Jazzfest. Is it good? Great? Would my non-fish eating fiancee like it? Also, I remember reading somewhere that you can do a search for... (5 replies, last updated by ktbear7476 April 29, 2004)

good, but you don’t have to be all respectable and stuff (although the staff are very respectful and professional). Appetizers $5-$12, Mains $15-$30. It gets crowded, so make a reservation. I hope to go back some day. Jacque Imo’s... (5 replies, last updated by cajungirl March 28, 2007)

I hate anyone had a bad experience, HOWEVER, my one time at Jacques Imos was great and great fun. We enjoyed good food, great ambience and superb service by Lana and “Natchez”. Jacques comped us champagne and... (7 replies, last updated by Bart May 3, 2006)

I used to live in New Orleans and ate at the JI’s there all the time. It’s one of the best restaurants in New Orleans. Was very excited when Jacque built the one hear in NY, but it’s just a very pale imitation.... (3 replies, last updated by James August 17, 2005)

Detest this place. Food is mediocre. The attitude is obnoxious. The management nasty. But for some reason (hip) visitors to N.O. think they’re getting some kind of of “authentic” experience. Its so phony they... (10 replies, last updated by Lauren May 12, 2005)

Anybody been to Jacque Imo's lately? I used to be a big fan of the place, but I haven’t been back in a long time. I keep hearing horror stories about 3 hour waits for tables. I hope it hasn’t become a victim of... (3 replies, last updated by Karl Barx October 13, 2003)

We are thinking about going back to Jacque-Imos soon. We haven’t been in some time since it is so rich and heavy. I think I had the BBQ shrimp last time and turned into a stick of butter afterwards. I don’t love fried... (8 replies, last updated by kibbles April 16, 2009)

I agree 100% with JazzyB. A great place for a fun dinner, particularly if large quantities of alcohol will be involved, but if you’re goal is top flight food, I’d go elsewhere. I also consider Jacques-Imo's to be a... (11 replies, last updated by jamielynn October 5, 2007)

Anybody know any details on the rumoured outpost of Jacques-Imo's said to be opening in NYC in the next few weeks? Anybody know where or when? Or have a phone number? (2 replies, last updated by lintsao February 11, 2004)

Exactly. It’s a poor imitation of a mediosre N.O. restaurant. I’m actually glad it’s going. I just hope the space doesn’t become a bank or a Duane Read, because Jacques-Imo's sucks, but it’s better... (10 replies, last updated by squirrelly_wrath October 25, 2007)

Theresa, you mentioned this on your post below. Does the MapleLeaf serve appetizers? I want to go to Jacque Imo's this Friday night but the 3 of us won’t get into town until around 7. If we have to wait long we’ll be... (2 replies, last updated by Ben March 7, 2002)

We want to eat at Jacques-Imo's tonight, then go hear Rebirth next door at the Maple Leaf. Any ideas about how long the wait is at J-I’s on a typical Tuesday night for a party of 4? (1 reply, last updated by local boy January 11, 2005)
