Took my daughters to the City for the evening. We were early diners, but the wait staff doted on us with such enthusiasm. We loved the views from the rooftop, the food and cocktails were stellar, and we were even offered blankets to keep warm enough while dining. Excellent all around!

We ordered drinks, which came promptly and were good. Both of us had jambalaya. It was quite tasty. The show started somewhat late, so we had time for another round of drinks. Once the show started, and during and after the show, service was less available. It took us a bit of time to get our check, but we were able to chat with the performers, so it was fun. The parking discount at the Mason-Ellis garage worked out well. We highly recommend Biscuits and Blues for dinner and a show! We'll definitely be back.
