Best Live Music Restaurants in French Quarter

We had jazz brunch here. The food, atmosphere, wait staff and music were all wonderful! I had the fried oyster appetizer and the gouda grits. This is my new favorite brunch spot in New Orleans! I can't wait to go back for lunch or dinner. And of course another brunch.

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.

Always a fantastic experience! The food, the service, the fun jazz band - it all made for a perfect day. Don’t miss the crabmeat cheesecake, the turtle soup or the white chocolate bread pudding. This is our go to place anytime we are in town to see a show at the nearby Saenger Theater or if we are staying at the Roosevelt which is a short walk away.
