great jazz, great scene, ave. food. fantastic jazz. not tourist jazz. the real deal. old school, like preservation hall, but alot more upbeat and fun.
you could spend all night looking at the vintage jazz photos and albums on the wall.
great service. and nina buck (in her 70s?) is still dancing, talking, mcing all night. love this place.
weakest part is the food. very interesting sounding menu. and i cleaned my plate. butfoodwas (by high nola standards) very average, even bland. the shrimp pasta was not spicy enough, kind of soupy, and the shrimp were average sized ($18 in '10). my extra thick pork chop was fine, came in a bland sauce with average massed potatoes ($19). the best part were really tasty mushrooms. bread pudding was spicy, not bad ($6).
