    Lovely atmosphere, amazing food, and the merlot was perfect. I really enjoyed the live quartet that preformed. Our server was Jordan and she did a fantastic job! Staff is very friendly, we look forward to celebrating more date nights here.

    The Foundation Room kitchen is closed. I am surprised Open Table did not notify as we were looking forward to that particular type of dining experience. The House of Blues is a fun place. Interesting decor, good food and great service. I enjoyed the unique experience during a night on Bourbon Street. I ordered the bbq nachos which hit the spot before heading over to Bourbon Street.

    I made a reservation nearly a month in advance for a special occasion. I received an email the day before asking me to confirm that I would still be making my reservation. After spending a good amount of money on transportation and a hotel, I arrived to the restaurant and the worker at the front window informed me that the restaurant was closed. I’m very frustrated because of the wasted money I spent surrounding the dinner. The Foundation Room is our favorite restaurant in the city, so it was also quite the emotional letdown as well (to be looking forward to something for so long).
