  • As we entered the playful confines of Southern Accent I couldn't help but feel as if some magical teleportation device had somehow taken me to the salty shores of Lake Pontchartrain. The space was cozy yet intimate and was N'awlins through and through. The kaleidoscopic interior offers the eyes a visual smorgasbord, where each room allows for a unique individual feel without taking away from overall ambiance. Drapes and muted lighting create a feeling of separation from other diners and the centrally located 1940's style bar is a sight to behold for any northern Mardi Gras revellers. Now If I said the best thing at Southern Accent was the food I would decidedly be lying. And although the food was undeniably ethereal in its absolute perfection, a harmonious balance of piquancy, which I felt more than privileged to experience despite a relative lack of proximity to Bourbon St., I will go on record and state with certainty that it pales in comparison to the gentile southern hospitality and charm we experienced in the capable hands of our incredible hostess/server/tour guide/historian Wendy. Wendy was simply put, the best server I have ever had. She was gracious, charming, informative, and above all genuine. She gave us a tour of the restaurant and a brief history lesson, and I must say that without her guidance I may still be stuck in some forgotten recess of Southern Accent unable to write this review, as the old converted Victorian seemed to have an endless abundance of twists and turns much like a Casino specifically designed to discourage gamblers from departing, not that I would have had minded staying in SA, but happy to Yelp about it all the same. Last but not least I have to at least mention the food. I had the $27.00 prix fix menu. I started with a phenomenal crab orzo, followed by the Jambalaya which has to be among the best dishes I have ever tasted. Generous chunks of andouille sausage, chicken and smoked ham on a bed of seasoned Cajun rice topped off with a plentiful array of shrimp and perfectly bitter collard greens kept visions of SA dancing in my head. An honorable mention goes to the Pavlova topped with house made whipped cream and a healthy scattering of assorted berries. The Pavlova was chewy, but strangely crunchy, and above all highly satisfying. Thank You Wendy and Southern Accent and of course Wendy.
