Harold & Bell is a LA fixure in the Black community. I and 2 friends dined there about 3 weeks ago and I personally was unimpressed with my order shrimp and okra gumbo. Our server was a 19 year old that was friendly, yet not as attentive to our table. Maybe because he appeared to have been not only waiting table but doing other duties. The seemed short on serving staff. My order lacked a certain taste that I enjoy so I thought some file' powder might have given it a bit more creole flavor so I asked our server for some file'. He was sure if they had it but when to the kitchen to ask and came saying they did not have it, well turned out he didn't know what file is and asked the kitchen about fish. Well like I said he was only 19. Anyway the order was decent enough to eat. One friend had ordered something that included shrimps that appeared over cooked. We ended our meal with dessert. I ordered at our server recommendation peach cobbler that he thought was one of their best dessert. It turned out to be one of the worst peach cobbler I had. It was obviously reheated in a microwave and had no cobbler juice at all. The crust had lost its crispness due to being reheated in the microwave, at least this is what I suspect. When our server asked how did I and one my friend who also ordered the cobbler, like it I gave him my honest assessment similar to what I said in this review. To make matters worse it was over priced. If I am recalling correctly, it was 8 dollars worth of nothing. Oh, before I forget, when we were first seated the background music was so loud I had to for it to be turned down. I hate to try to have conversations over loud music and we were not in a club even if we were seated near the bar. Thankfully the music was lowered without any push back. Anyway my experience at Harold & Bell was not the best, but again it was not the worst, that's why I gave it a 3 star rating.

Beverly Hills in South Central. Harold & Belle's is the jewel of Jefferson Park. The world-class dining experience that somehow continues to improve with time. For over fifty years, diners have entered these doors and been instantly teleported to New Orleans. Elegant dining areas, exceptional service and absolutely delicious menu offerings make Harold & Belle's the epicurean indulgence that you must experience for yourself. Portions are huge, so most of the happy people you pass at the entrance carrying food out, did not order take-out. Those are leftovers. And in case you haven't figured it out, I am a lifelong customer and after your first visit, you will be too. Reservations are recommended.

At last! A soulful restaurant with great vegan options! The oyster mushrooms are ridiculously tasty with a delightful crisp. The okra gumbo is well-seasoned and finger-licking good! I also loved the rice dish with veggies and oyster mushrooms. It's amazing to enjoy vegan cuisine seasoned by chefs who understand creole cooking!

The service was great on a very busy night. There are no tables available so me and my three friends sat at the bar so we can get in and get out. I ordered a shrimp pasta dish that came with gravy. It wasn’t my cup of tea. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve eaten spaghetti noodles with my gumbo and loved it. This may have been tasty to someone else, but the gravy seemed to heavy for the noodles that night. I am a pescatarian, which means I only eat seafood now, and I was very excited to try this dish. I miss eating Swedish meatballs and noodles. I thought this dish might do the trick. I’ll keep looking.

First time here. I got the charbroiled oysters and gumbo. The oysters were pretty good...I would suggest eating some of their delicious bread with it. The gumbo was really really good too.

The food is excellent. The chicken and the jambalaya were delicious. The seasoning on the food was perfect with that little kick of spiceness. The dessert, the bread pudding was magnificent. Great customer service. $7 for parking, bring cash.
