   We were so impressed with the chef and the new menu- Foie gras and charcuterie were yummy! Cocktails awesome. Great wine list. Got pasta and the chicken main courses - far surpassed our expectations. Prices very reasonable ~ ambiance meets the wow factor - in the midst of the Foundation Room! On the top of my list!

   Severely understaffed - took 20 min to be brought water when they sat us. Food was mediocre at best and was cold by the time it was brought to us. It’s a shame because the ambiance is so incredible and I’ve been there a few times in the past and it was much better. The table next to us had to send their steaks back multiple times because they were cooked wrong, and their waitress was rude to them.

   The Foundation Room is very cool. Our servers were nice. The host was extremely nice. Drinks & food were interesting & good. Definitely worth booking a reservation before a concert.

   We happened across the Foundation Room accidentally due to many restaurants being reservation only because of Jazzfest. We didn’t see that coming and should have. My wife found one table available at the Foundation Room and let me tell you that was lucky! This place is fantastic! Has sort of an exclusive club feel to it. You wouldn’t even know it’s there. The lime and the coconut drink was delicious as was their take on an Old Fashioned. The food was perfect and very flavorful. We will be back for sure!

   We enjoyed the meal and our server. However, the foie gras came out cold and it was not good. My boyfriend ate half but I couldn't eat any of it (and foie gras is one of my favorite things to eat). I will try the restaurant again. The other 2 items we had were very good.

   The best place for a romantic night out. Me and my fiance thoroughly enjoyed ourself at the foundation room. Eric johanson played for 3 hours . His performance was excellent. The food was great. We had the steak skewers and the chicken wings. They were both delicious. For desert we had the blueberry icecream and biscuit (cookie) . The desert was top notch.

    One of the main reasons we booked dinner at the House of Blues was because there were two jazz bands scheduled to play. When we got there after the waitress seated us we asked about the band. About 1/2 way through our meal a manager came over and told us the band cancelled. So, they did not give us an opportunity to go elsewhere, and they did not offer us any compensation. I think this was a bit disingenuous and as we were only in New Orleans for 5 days took away one of our nights to see entertainment. That and I think the price of the food was a bit absorbent for what you get. Something I would be willing to pay with entertainment but without it was not worth it.

    The menu is very limited and not very good. My wife ordered seafood stuffed shells and asked for no tomatoes (she doesn't eat them) and the plate came with multiple tomatoes. I had the steak which was okay but Ruth's Chris is not endanger of going out of business because of the steak at the Foundation Room (nor is any other steak house in danger). The waitress was not attentive. I sat for a long time looking for her with my empty glass of water. The chocolate whiskey soufflé was quite good and the highlight of the meal. We were told they are going to redo the menu because they have had several complaints. We have eaten there for years and were always satisfied before.

    We've eaten here in the past - it was AMAZING. Not so this time. The menu consists of small plates only. We ordered 3 of the items; they were out of 2 of them. The one we did get was a plate of fried okra that tasted as though the oil was old. If the restaurant has taken a different path, that's fine; but update your photos on Open Table so that guests know what to expect.

    The food was terrible. I have never tried to chew duck that was so hard. I could even eat it. My husbands steak was amazing. We barely saw our waiter. It took forever to get service. I ordered an apple orchard cocktail which is on the menu and they poured the beer and charged me anyway. 3 of the 5 specialty cocktails were not available on the menu. At the end I ordered the orange cream brûlée’ and the check was dropped off and the dessert forgotten 2 x. The place itself is beautiful. Food menu and service are terrible! A must fix! It would be a beautiful place if fixed.

    The food was ordinary and overpriced. The space was elegant and has a strong historic connection, however, the restaurant was virtually empty, and there was no menu, only a Pre fixe meal. This restaurant has the feel of a place that will be closing soon, which is a shame, the last time we dined there we had a sensational meal.

    We made reservations for the Foundation Room, but when we checked in with the hostess at House of Blues, we were given a booth in what I think was the lounge, between the bar and kitchen, even though we said Foundation Room reservations. None of the photos on this app matched the House of Blues at this location on the map. We were disappointed with the time it took for our drinks and food to arrive (over 20 minutes for food, 30 for drinks) even though it was a slow night with maybe 10 tables in the whole place. Food was mediocre (burned brisket on fries, jambalaya was just spicy, not flavorful, butter & cornbread were the best part of the meal). I would have preferred to eat somewhere with more authentic creole food. I wish we could have actually eaten at the location described in this app, since it looks and sounds much better than what we experienced.

    The Foundation Room is an amazing find! You ring a bell to enter then take an elevator up to the 3rd floor. We were greeted with glasses of champagne and encouraged to enjoy the band before being seated for dinner. Our server (extrordinaire) Mike, was very knowledgeable, attentive and added extra joy to the evening. The ambiance is lush & elegant but not over the top. The food was fabulous and perfectly prepared. Drinks were excellent, too. We felt pampered and like part of the family. I will definitely go back when I'm in town!
