    Great music makes it worth the cost of time and money. Hard to tell how tables are assigned. I didn’t eat this time but answered asked on previous meals. Food is quite good.

    One of our favorite places to hear jazz in NOLA! And the food and drinks are like a bonus, there are some new items on the menu that are very tasty. Always a great time!

    I go there for the music, not the food, though the fries are great.

    Great place to watch Jazz! The music is always good to great! We had a table with good visibility and close proximity to the band this time! The view of the band from some tables is obstructed to various degrees by columns in the space and you never really know where you will be seated!

    I paid for a table of 4 to see a jazz ensemble and my table was located behind a large post and I couldn’t see anything! It’s a small venue with good music but all but two tables have a partially or mostly obstructed view! Not worth the money!!!

    Reserve the table for our group because we had two teenagers with us who are both musicians and themselves. Both boys like jazz and one plays trumpet and French horn and the other is a percussionist who plays the vibraphone and drums. It was a great set and all enjoyed the experience.
