Fantastic experience, after a great dinner the building manager gave us a private tour of the old theatre which hosts the House of Blues special events. Incredible history in this place and truly a hidden gem of the French quarter. Go and check it out!

We went for dinner on the early side (6:30) on a Thursday night, but we were only 1 of 3 tables in the entire place so it was very quiet and really no atmosphere. However, the decor vibe was very cool, the entrance was unique and I could see the potential for great energy on a more crowded evening. Food was ok. We had the Arancini, Beef Tartare and the Brussels. Would go again in hopes of getting the real atmosphere experience.

I had an amazing time here for my birthday! The door man Alex and the hostess Leslie were so attentive to us and made it such a memorable experience! The food, drinks, music and ambiance exceeded my expectations. Definitely would refer for anyone in the city to visit while there.

I was blown away with my experience at The Foundation Room New Orleans. From the Speak easy vibe entrance with a breathtaking water fountain to Beautiful artwork on the walls of the staircase. The host Paul was calm and friendly. Blake (a female) the bartender was attentive, made me a delicious drink off the menu and only charged me $13, which was generous considering the other drinks were $16 and up. The decor was gorgeous with the purples, blues and pink pillows and couches, beautiful chandeliers, and candles to set the mood . I enjoyed the Live music while eating this unorthodox grilled cheese Blake suggested. It was the BEST grilled cheese I ever had and it wasn't even traditionally made. I only wish it was a full sandwich. It was pricey ($18) for a half sandwich with no side. The foundation room was clean, pretty and the staff were super friendly. Upon departure, The host Paul invited me back to see the Burlesque show for my birthday. Although I had other plans, I was appreciative of the invite and complimentary tickets. This place gets 5 stars. I will be back
When we arrived there was not enough chairs for our reservation number. The food and drinks took over an hour. Lots of menu items they were out of or had limited amounts of. Not great for large groups. Waitress Jalyn was awesome, the only reason we stayed.

Service and drinks were fabulous. Atmosphere was perfect with excellent music and a suitable lounge area for conversation.
0 out of 10!! DO NOT RECOMMEND!! This IS NOT IT! Nothing More Then A Tourist Trap. Online it looks warm and inviting... In actuality it's Dark Dismal and Basic. The Lounge and Dining Room are only separated by a Bar...with the live music it's makes it louder then it should be. Table of Lushes on one side and loud Blaring Music on the other. The “FOOD”! OMG...No! Just No! A Caesar Salad is a Staple at any restaurant, How you make it and present it determines the level of quality for restaurant... IT TASTED LIKE SALAD OUT OF A BAG! The Beef TarTare... Poor Quality of Meat and there's no way that internal temp was correct DISGUSTING! The Carbonara?! Had a Whole Can Of Peas in it!! CANNED PEAS!! LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE! The wait staff is very friendly and attentive. When walk in the door he greets you with a smile very friendly and puts you at ease. The servers do an excellent job HOWEVER IT ALL FALLS APART.... The Chef Came Out Touched Each table EXCEPT OUR TABLE THE MANAGER comes out and She DOES THE EACT SAME THING WHILE GLARING AT US THE WHOLE TIME!! WALKED PAST OUT TABLE SEVERAL TIMES NOT ONCE ACKNOWLEDGING OUR PRESENCE It Takes forever to get a dish! It's a 30Min Gap between each serving!! BY THE TIME YOU GET ANYTHING YOU'RE FED UP AND JUST WANT TO LEAVE!! 3 HOURS OF POOR QUALITY FOOD SERVED IN A REFURBISHED DARK DINGY GARAGE FILLED WITH GRANDMAS FRIENDS AND HER FURNITURE FOR THE LATE 1960s!!

This is a must go!!! The theming and design is absolutely stunning at this HOB location and very much an old New Orleans Jazz vibe. Great for a romantic stop for drinks and music. Natasha who works in the box office took absolutely amazing care of us. She and her team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and share a lot of the history of this location with us. She made our entire night and we'll revisit it every time we are in New Orleans.

There’s so many good places in New Orleans to choose from and this is not one. I do have to say that the staff was very supportive after the fact. Sorry to say, I would never recommend this place to eat. The atmosphere was beautiful.
