Best Live Music Restaurants in Uptown

- shrimp and grits very well seasoned - duck confit good balance of sweet savory - ambiance lovely, but I read somewhere there was jazz during lunch and it seemed very muted, but maybe that’s just me - service was exceptional! our server Chris kept checking in on us and went above and beyond.

Beautiful restaurant! It’s what we expected for Ritz Carlton. Food was great. We had the NOLA salad, shrimp and grits and the gulf snapper, all delicious! They sat us in a cozy, private dining area at the back of the restaurant, which was perfect for our family gathering. The live jazz in the lounge area in front of the restaurant was a wonderful added touch! Service was a little on the slow side. I had to get up and get a couple of things myself like I worked there. Other than that we enjoyed ourselves and will return.

Warm and helpful service. Food and drinks were delectable. The Jazz Bistro trio was delightful.

The food was great, particularly the charred oysters and the flavorful soups – the turtle soup and both gumbos were exceptional. Our service was awesome, with Bree and our head server (captain) providing attentive and friendly service. The main restaurant itself is undeniably elegant, perhaps even a touch over-the-top (OCD staff and hovering), but acceptable.

One of our favorite places to eat! Stone crabs were in season and that was also a treat! The steaks came out a bit early but they assisted us with warming them to perfection without overcooking them! The atmosphere was festive for the holidays and although we ate at a high top in the bar, it wasn’t a disappointment at all! The pianist played while we were there and overall made for a great evening!
