Palm Court Jazz Cafe

Had the best time with my Mom! Tonight they had 7 of the best Jazz musicians in The French Quarter on stage. I did the math and they had over 455 years of talent on stage. We will definitely be back for the wonderful food and music! Was very nice to meet Richard on Bass.

One of the highlights of our trip. Our family (all adults) enjoyed the music, atmosphere, and food. Food was delicious. The jazz was incredible. We had a great time! Even though my children are grown, i can say that Palm Court would be a great place to enjoy authentic jazz with younger children.

We love the jazz band here. The service is always very attentive and friendly. The food could be better but we like it good enough to have gone multiple times.

I love the Palm Court. It is an upscale supper club, really. This concept is actually quite unique in the FQ. Most places offer either food OR music, and if it's combined it's in the form of a bar with music that also offers food. PC is not a bar per se. There is one important thing you should know before you go to this delightful establishment. Most if not all the customers here have made reservations in advance. The PC opens at 7pm and most folks reserve their tables for 7 or 7:30. So, everyone is coming in at the same time. Whilst the menu is select (only around 8 mains to choose from), the kitchen seems to prepare everything from scratch and is overwhelmed with multiple orders all at the same time. People are not randomly wandering in off the street at various times, like most restaurants. All this to say... be ready to wait a while for your food. Quite a while! Get in the mindset that you are having a slow, leisurely, unhurried meal with a wonderful jazz band playing in a beautiful classic New Orleans setting, have a couple of beverages, kick back and relax. Don't come here if you're in a hurry. This is a place to savor and relish. It is worth the wait. We didn't understand why the food was taking so long. I complained to the server, a lady who told us she'd just started working there. Her initial response was WAY off... she actually said, "well do you want to eat, or do you want to leave?" My, my. She evidently reconsidered her defensive and arguably belligerent response and came back from the kitchen with an apology, an explanation of "the system " and an offer of 2 free drinks. We lowered our raised eyebrows and sipped our free drinks. That was the only fly in the chardonnay. Anyhow. I had the steak pie and mash. As a fellow Yorkshire-woman, I appreciated the owner Nina and her influence here on the menu. You never see steak pie on any menu in the States so I was tickled by this. It was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, I am still drooling over the memory of it! My husband got the filet and although it was a tad overcooked it was still very tender and flavorful. The band was Kevin Louis et al. They were really great, we were so entertained. I hope the PC will be around for a long time to come. The FQ needs this place to stay!

This place is wonderful. The music 1st, owned by the darlingest woman on the planet, staff warm and welcoming, food is Delicious. We had crabcake, and steak pie, fried crawfish for app.... in love completely. Dinner and phenomenal Jazz. Like I felt a warm musical hug from NOLA🥰🥰🥰.
