    Solid food. Great music. The ticket process to see the show was unorganized. The instructions on how to get the tickets are different than the actual process. We ended up with seats in the back on the balcony, which were fairly obstructed. Regardless, we are already making plans to go back.

    Redfish dish called Fish Marigny didn’t taste fresh. Fishy aftertaste was unpleasant and we could not eat it. the appetizer broiled shrimp and fried Okra was good. We stayed for the Jazz show which was of excellent quality and value!!! will definitely return for the Jazz but will eat elsewhere in the Marigny before the show ty SCH

    I do not know if it is a New Orleans "thing" where everything is a little slower, but there were two of us at dinner and all the food was served (other guest's entree and sides and my sides) and it was a full 31 minutes before my entree (a ribeye steak) was served. All my other food was cold by then and the steak was delivered rare with some actual raw, uncooked spots. I had asked several times and was told "it is coming". We also selected this spot to grab a drink and some jazz afterward and were told, after the fact, that we would need to wait until the next show which was a full hour and 15 minutes to wait and see if it were "possible". Bottom line, plan ahead and ask questions depending on what you are planning to do at the venue. I would not go back or recommend it based on the vast options within New Orleans for good food and music as well as much more helpful staff dedicated to customer service at other places we visited.
