"The iconic restaurant's Jazz Bistro room is buttoned-up yet laid-back, featuring attentive-but-never-overbearing service and nightly sets from The Gumbo Trio that start at 6:30 p.m. and wind down four hours later. It doesn't get any more intimate than a jazz trio slaying its songbook just a few tables from your tall plate of plump Gulf shrimp—every guest feels like a VIP here. Enjoy ripping standards from the Boardwalk Empire era that are as hot and heavy as the holy trinity-worshipping Creole dishes." - Andrew Parks, Paul Oswell
