"It’s rare for a music venue to have such a robust menu, but Snug Harbor even makes it easy to have a three or four-course dinner. From New Orleans classics like shrimp remoulade and gumbo to great burgers and a loaded baked potato, this 45-year-old spot isn’t groundbreaking, but the classics really hit the spot." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono

"Spread out over three rooms in a refurbished 1800’s building—there’s a designated space for a restaurant, bar, and performance space—Snug Harbor is a one-stop shop for good food, good drinks, and great jazz. At about $20 a pop, concert tickets are not cheap, but the impressive roster of local talent and the fun ambiance justifies the splurge. There are shows at 8pm and 10pm every night."

Meal and drinks were fantastic! The atmosphere was so great! Music trickled down into the dining area and you could tell it set the vibe here. The staff were so helpful! My daughter lost her phone and everyone in the very busy restaurant and bar helped us find it! Great place for ambiance and elevated dining. Also a great price point!

Snug Harbor Jazz was a fantastic evening of food and music. The restaurant is in the front and the jazz club is in the back. There’s also the second level for seating. We left feeling very “New Orleans” after the show. A must-do if you love music and want know about the history of New Orleans. You get a good feel for the jazz and the culture also. Will totally go back on our next visit.

This was a return visit to Snug Harbor on Frenchman Street! Always a cool place and known for their musical performances and good food. Sadly, for me, the food quality has suffered. The food was lukewarm and the dried out! The staff were personable and friendly and that helped with the overall disappointment of the meal! I say…go for the music…stick with drinks.

We had a wonderful evening at Snug Harbor to celebrate our anniversary! We loved the intimacy of the music hall, feeling up close and personal with the band made it so cool! The food was good as well. Snug Harbor was an excellent choice for making memories. Thank you!

An amazing place for dinner and a show! The fried fish and fried oysters were cooked perfectly and had a nice crisp. The tartar sauce paired very well with the fish. The side of gumbo was flavorful and rich. Their ribeye was also cooked perfectly and had the ideal amount of fat. It was a great cut of meat! The peach cobbler was a fantastic end to the meal. The slice of pie was heavenly. The venue for performances is nice and intimate. If you're going to a show, I'd recommend getting there before doors open because seats fill up quickly. We had an amazing time there!

Well, we arrived at time of opening at 5pm. Seated, inquired about the jazz act for the evening & ordered. The meal was hot, fresh and very tasty. Fried shrimp platter, crab cakes, jambalaya & side salad were our choices. Waiter was prompt, attentive & courteous. The star minus for four instead of five was the horrendous, disregard of how peach cobbler is cooked & served here and other places in New Orleans. My husband ordered the bread pudding, which was delicious!!! He advise I order the peach cobbler to go. The waiter did warn us earlier that he preferred the bread pudding because he likes crust with his peach cobbler. I am from the north, Chicago and I’m used to peach cobbler with a flaky, crusty pie dough not cake or muffin-like toppings. Please remove this from your menu, it’s an injustice to this dessert that has fans like me assuming peach cobbler is made the same everywhere. No nutmeg, no cinnamon, no brown sugar and no juice were the other missing flavors.

Service was good. The catfish needed some flavor babyyy, but the red beans and rice LAWDDDDDDDDD.. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 amazing. 8/10. It had beef sausage in it as well and the flavor was definitely there for me. Not to mention there was live music upstairs, that is an up charge I believe is $25 or more per ticket. come check out snug Harbor Jazz Bistro:)
