New Orleans Restaurant

Go for the music....only.. PROS: MUSIC=AWESOME. The music was first class. The service was amazing, our server was at our table checking drinks every three minutes the entire 3.5 hours we were there. The brick-lined interior has nice ambiance, which could be improved by better tables and dishes.

CONS: BATHROOMS=YUCK. I read all of the reviews before visiting yesterday, and I can't believe nobody mentioned the restrooms...YUCK. The food was reasonably priced, and it was "okay", but not good enough for us to eat there again. The restrooms are the big deal breaker for us, we will not be back.

Go for the music and a few drinks, go somewhere else for dinner and a bathroom.…

Hellacious Jalapenos!. One whiff of the jalapeno martini... whoa... will singe your hair. They use jalapeno juice instead of olive juice... .The wings were big, plump, and good, but it lacked a certain depth that my taste buds kept searching for. Perhaps we could have ordered differently... The nightly jazz band is a good thing to remember. They were playing non-traditional jazz, so if want jazz top 40, you may have to make a request.…

bad service, no go. Wow. To pay to be treated this way? Not even a slacker non-child- supporting -stole-my-savings-to-support-a-bimbo-girlfriend ex-husband should be treated the way. Never have I asked for water after waiting for nearly 10 minutes to even get a menu, get a nasty look, and when she returned, she slammed the pitcher and nearly cracked the glasses as she pounded them down on our table. Why? We had the audacity to ask for water.

She then stalked off without taking our order as though we had insulted her by asking for service. Imagine our gaul. What kind of royalty were we anyway to ask to be served IN A RESTAURANT! Had it been crazy busy, I could have understood harried slow service--but it was no different than any other restaurant at dinner time. Was is a shock to her to have people there at dinner time? Dinner time--you know when people PAY to be fed!

Too bad, years ago this was a good place to go, but we left and we will never feel masochistic enough to go back again.…

A bit of Bourbon Street on First Avenue.. In Short
Known for jazz, blues and chicken gumbo, the cavernous, brick-walled restaurant and bar is welcoming to all. The stage is in the middle of the dining room, putting music front and center. Louisiana cooking offers heaps of interesting fare, and it appears that the New Orleans tries to serve it all from the extensive menu. Tthe kitchen turns out New Orleans' standards such as creoles, jambalayas and etouffees.
