    Stumbled in for a last minute resy and were pleasantly surprised to see jazz brunch. Sat by the musicians but still able to converse and it added so much to the atmosphere. We loved everything about it. Also the bread basket was diverse and delicious. We ate through two of them. Next time hoping we can stay for the beignets and espresso martinis. Also need to grab a spot at that beautiful ornate bar.

    Great food. However the service could have been better. 30 minutes to get our drink had to ask where it was. Waiter forgot to put in our appetizer, tables all around we’re having the same issues— maybe they were short staffed
