| - came here with some friends and was uber impressed! originally i was suppose to check this restaurant out for my birthday but my company got discouraged by the exterior and we went elsewhere. i wish i knew back then what i know now - that Southern Accent is phenomenal! First of all, the interior is kitschy but done the correct way. The whole place feels like gypsy takeover intertwined with a drunk mardi gras. There are LED Christmas lights everywhere, random things hanging from the ceiling, intimate booths that look more like fortune teller tents and a incredibly detailed bar containing a large variety of Bourbon. Needless to say, I loved it!
The bartender that night seemed to have a lust for bartending and while he got annoying at some points, it was refreshing to see someone so passionate about their job. His sense of humor was cheeky and sarcastic which added to the larger then life atmosphere. I opted for a mojito and he whipped out one of the best I've ever had. My friends and I also decided to give the Bourbon tasting tray a shot and got an education on premium Bourbons while we waited for our food.
I had the brisket poutine which was by far the most amazing poutine I ever put into my mouth and clogged my arteries with. The brisket was tender, melt in your mouth while the fries were fresh cut. The whole meal was very filling and delicious. A girlfriend of mine had some garlic mashed potatoes, blackened steak ( i think? ) and greens. The mashed potatoes were AMAZING, i don't know what they put in there but they were so fresh and addictive i don't know how anyone could resist eating more.
After we finished, we paid and ended up walking around the restaurant to see what the other floor offered. The second floor has separate party rooms which are all done up in true New Orleans style. It seems like each room has its own theme. There is also a giant dining hall for larger events. You'd be surprised how big the space actually is! The washrooms were fun and girly, mysteriously shrouded with layers of gauze and red lights. Talk about atmosphere! Any restaurant that goes all out not only in their food but also in their environment is one that I will be revisiting time and time again. In fact, my best friend will be hosting her large birthday party there.
LOVE IT!
PS- I heard Mardi Gras week at southern accent is a total blown out party and experience that one must go to.
