    Not bad but I’d find somewhere else next time I’m on Frenchman Slow unattentive service and mediocre food. Decent ambiance

    Salmon was raw but they took it off the bill. Their web page was not clear that the dinner and jazz show were in separate rooms and there was a separate charge for the show

    It’s been a while since I have been to Snug Harbor for dinner and a show. I am glad to say they did not disappoint. The Jazz set was great and our dinner was delicious. Service was great. I will definitely be making plans to return soon.

    Went for dinner before a show (which was itself, amazing). The menu is typical NOLA tourist stuff. Nothing unique to the restaurant so there is no reason not to hit one of the much better places nearby and then come over for the show. Service was great, prices solid, but overall the food options were just eh.

    Everything was generally fine. Nothing was amazing, and nothing was awful. Waiter was a little surly and a little abrupt, but not impolite.
