  • Thelonious Monk Art & Culture Exhibit

    $77.00 - $99.00 per person

    Jun 19, 2025 - Jul 17, 2025
    In celebration of Juneteenth, Filé is proud to host a vibrant new Art & Culture Exhibit inspired by the music and spirit of jazz legend Thelonious Monk. Curated by Julion St. Hill, the exhibition opens the evening of June 19 and runs for four weeks. We have created a unique prix fixe 4-course or 3-course tasting menu to go along side this exhibit. A special wine pairing can be added which features Tolaini Legit Cabernet Sauvignon 2020. This premium unblended wine from the heart of Chianti Classico is the perfect pairing for any jazz enthusiast, as it pays homage to the legendary Thelonious Monk. Ruby red with a bright core. Blueberry and blackberry on the nose, also reminiscent of cocoa, with a green-spicy finish. Juicy on the palate, fresh and with gentle drive, dark fruit and a hint of cinnamon, fine tannins, slightly drying in the aftertaste Wine critics have recognized the quality of LEGIT, with Wine Spectator awarding 93, Wine Enthusiast awarding 91, and James Suckling 91

Filé Gumbo Bar is a delightful slice of New Orleans in NYC, offering "amazing food and service" with a vibrant atmosphere. Highlights include "authentic Cajun/Creole flavors," "live jazz," and a cozy, welcoming vibe.

    We had such a great time at File Gumbo. We made a reservation for Father's Day and it met all of our expectations. The food was outstanding, the service was wonderful and the jazz band added to the ambiance of the meal. One note - the appetizers are just as expensive as the meal and it does add up quickly. We had 2 adults and 3 small children and the meal was over $300. We will certainly be back though!

    The food was amazing and the service was amazing as well. Loved the live music from the Jazz band. The All in Gumbo was to die for and the bread pudding was a show stopper. I will need that bourbon sauce bottled to go next time lol. Will definitely be back soon!
