    Loved Snug Harbor! 1st time. Good & service were excellent / think server was Jorge? Best shrimp platter in town & wonderful burger! Casual ambiance. Then easy to walk next door without going outside to get to the jazz club. They offer music every night with variety & the best musicians, many from well known NOLA music families. Very comfy & a server watches for drink orders. We felt very safe on Frenchman St. While we couldn't find parking on the street that night, Premier Parking had two lots in reasonable distance on Decatur. My guest was from Denver, here for the Broncos game, & vibed Snug Harbor! Also we had questions which they answered by email- much appreciated.

    Not at all what I expected. Everything tasted mediocre. The line to get inside was odd. The people for dinner and people with show tickets were all in the same line. So best to make a reservation for 15 minutes after a show starts. It took so long to get our food that our energy was drained by the end. We just wanted a soda which was super flat. I wished it was better because it was a long walk from our hotel.
