Reviews
Love going to listen Jazz at this venue. The chairs are comfortable. The music is nice. The parking is affordable so you don’t have to walk all over Nola to get to where you are going.
Great cocktails and wonderful atmosphere. Very nice piano and jazz. Armela was a superb server and knew exactly when to come and when to give space.
Unforgettable afternoon tea at the Davenport Lounge. Incredible desserts, beautiful music, and above all — extraordinary service. Thank you, Chef Sally Buck (Hyeongmi Buck), for the birthday treats, and Jerri for the thoughtful baby gifts. You made my pregnant wife’s birthday truly magical.
Experienced the weekend tea service with morning live harp music. Miss Terry is a gem and committed to making visits memorable. Giving the visitor a vibe to remember. We recommend elevating with the caviar and champagne. The savory plate does go next level with caviar. Definitely needed a reservation.
Incredible service from Ms. Terri - she truly made us feel welcome and pampered. We enjoyed all of the savory and sweet nibbles - and Terri brought out beignets for my birthday, and a gift! So thoughtful. My kids thoroughly enjoyed their first tea experience, and we look forward to coming again. The live harp music made for such a serene atmosphere, as well!
