    Good food and drinks are to be found at this nice staple of The beautiful downtown French Quarter of New Orleans. Good local favorites too such as oysters and soft - shell crabs. Great too that their kitchen remains open later to an actual decent hour. Nice live jazz music too on selected fine evenings .

    Our server was great. He was very attentive and patient seeing as we had 8 people with us! The hostess had a bad attitude. The food was good. Our tables need to be serviced because one was higher than the other which caused an issue while trying to enjoy our food.

    Went to dinner before a show. Had ribs and scallops, which were great. But if you like collard greens, you must get some as a side. They were so tasty.

    The red beans and rice and ettoufee dishes has good flavor but were barely warm. The crème brûlée was tasty but the top was granular and not the normal carmelized sugar we expected.

    The food and service were great. Only rating 4 stars overall instead of 5 because the music was sooo bad. The music venue is very intimate (and crowded) but the artist (Brazilian Love Songs by Sasha Masakowski) was terrible. We left after 3 songs, complete waste of money. You do not get the show with dinner, you must buy tickets for that, and line up to enter the music area after dinner. Overall, we heard that the music there is normally really good. But not last night. Excellent service by the server who takes care of you inside the music area. After we left we walked down Frenchman St and stopped in to 5-6 music spots/bars and had a BLAST and heard some amazing music. Overall good food and a great area to be in New Orleans for music, just be careful of the artist before you pay.
