    Great place, great food, great music. The service needs to back off a little and allow you to enjoy your meal. They come by every few minutes looking to take your plate away even if you’re not finished.

    Exceptional service. Aaron was amazing. Music just the right level and musicians were talented and engaging. Food so delicious. Tour afterward was a thrill. An evening of dining you must experience in the French Quarter.

    We had a reservation. Showed up ten minutes late and we called to let them know. Had to wait for a table. Hostess seemed annoyed with us. When seated, the room is beautiful and jazz band was a nice accent to the mood. Service was so so. Waiter couldn't describe a wine we were going to order and tried to remove plate before done eating. Took a while to receive drinks. Most Food portions were small and just ok. The baked oysters were very good.

    Was given the wrong meal (didn’t realize until a few bites in) and the side for the table was forgotten about until the end of the meal. No apologies or adjustments on the bill. Additionally the jazz music in the dining is a nice touch but they don’t let you know there’s a charge for it until you see it on your bill. Food overall was good quality but service overall was fair at best

    The shrimp Arnaud was underwhelming. It tasted like tuna fish with dijon mustard. Not entirely sure why it’s a signature dish? The veal and souffle potatoes were amazing, but oversalted. The veal was cooked to perfection and tasted like a salisbury steak. The jazz band came by our table once the entire evening. The wait staff was very attentive but I did feel rushed throughout my dining experience. Not sure if I would return for a second time.
