We had a great meal - everything was delicious. The service was impeccable. It was a clear night so the city lights were lovely. My only slight grievance was it was a bit loud in the dining room. But it had no real effect on a wonderful evening.

We came here with our extended family to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and had such a great experience. The food was amazing, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were especially accommodating and so kind and patient with our kids, which we really appreciated. Everyone had a great time, and we can’t wait to come back!

Really nice place, and the food was really good. Allegedly we weren’t able to get the outdoor table we booked because we didn’t call, and used the online option. Not sure why that was disconnected but overall very good experience!

    This was our 4th or 5th time dining here. Always a pleasure. We come for the great jazz and are always pleased with the food. Menu has evolved over the past 2 years and continues to be tasty. Love the fact that happy hour is long and includes mixed drinks as well as beer and wine. The jambalaya is amazing and you can never go wrong with the southern fried chicken - moist and tender and just the right amount of spices. Quantities are filling and we always end up taking home leftovers. Look forward to our next visit!
