Fantastic, intimate venue for enjoying blues and jazz. But tickets in advance because shows sell out. Service is great. Food is New Orleans themed but, no surprise, just adequate. Stick to simpler fare like a grilled piece of fish or a salad, and you'll be happy.

We had an awesome night here. It was very packed literally. The tables are very close together and they are small tables. The musicians were excellent and very talented. The food was decent the cocktail drinks are good. We had the catfish platter with rice and beans and also the catfish po boy. Both were delicious. The catfish was seasoned perfectly. We also got the chicken Po boy and that was good as well as the margarita, Moscow mule, and the espresso martini. All were very good cocktail drinks compared to most places. The spinach and artichoke dip was good but the chips were slightly stale.

Went to see a friend of my wife perform after many many many years from our last visit. Don’t know why it took us so long to come back. We will be back frequently now. Love the cozy atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the intimacy with the performers. Wonderful experience.

Had a magical night with my girlfriend here, im a big Jazz fan (her less so) but the both of us had a great time. Parking is not even a 5 minute walk away, no bad seats in the house, not to quiet not too loud, just perfect all around.

I only had drinks, but my wife had the salmon cakes along with the red beans and rice. Not the best she had, but will order again... The venue is small and intimate and we loved the entertainment. Definitely will go back if we're in town...

It was hot outside and one person was overcome by the heat. Knocked on door it was 6pm the time of opening. A man came out of an emergency door yelling stop knocking on door. We explained that a person was going to faint from the heat he went back inside and a few minutes later came back and said he called 911 everyone was saying just take her inside with the air conditioning. He yelled calm down then motioned for the people to bring her inside. His remarks of in an emergency you call 911 and nonchalant attitude was to much. This was totally disrespectful to human rights.
