We stayed an extra night just to try fried chicken night at the Fountain Lounge. It was worth it! Mind you it is only fried chicken with sides, cole slaw, red beans and rice, & biscuits. The chicken was crispy and crunchy with a bit of a kick. We even liked the sides. The coke slaw was creamy with a nice sour tang. Good red beans and rice. That's the opinion of my wife who grew up here. Delicious honey butter biscuits. In terms of value, $26 for 4 pieces plus the sides. You can get another basket of chicken for $12. To me it was a great value and yummy fried chicken. Is there better fried chicken? Sure. Willie Mae Scotch House or Dooky Chase but, you're going to pay more. Also, you gotta like getting good fried chicken then just chilling at one of the best hotels in the city, The Roosevelt.

The restaurant (or the server) overcharged me for the breakfast. I charged a total of $95.31 to my room, but it showed up as $104.17 on my hotel bill.

Good was good! Drinks were stout, and the atmosphere was top notch. Servers didn’t necessarily check on us often, but, often enough. One bummer was one of us had to have our back to the piano, which was disappointing.
