Armstrong Jazz House

The drinks were also pretty bad. The old fashioned was watered down and the lychee martini was just poorly made. It had a weird taste to it. I also ordered the passion fruit cheesecake and that was actually flavorful! The ‘cheesecake’ feeling had a strange texture that wasn’t like cheesecake but overall it was delicious.

I would not recommend if you’re coming for the food or drinks, but the atmosphere is great.

The service was absolutely wonderful. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making every guest feel special. Nothing felt rushed or delayed.

The cherry on top was the live band music. It was soulful, alive, and transporting. It filled the room in the best possible way. The sound quality was also top-notch. Even if you sit outside, you can still hear the band play as if you were inside, and see the band through the window.

The ambiance struck the perfect balance between cozy and romantic. The lighting was warm and intimate, and the chandeliers were an absolute standout. Elegant and inviting, casting a soft glow that made the entire space feel like walking into someone's soul. Throughout the restaurant, inspirational quotes are placed thoughtfully around, adding a layer of depth and warmth that makes you pause, reflect, and appreciate the space even more.

The food was simply delicious. You can taste the care that goes into each plate. The drinks were well crafted. We also tried the tea, which comes into this beautiful set, and was a perfect end of the experience.

Above all, you can feel the owner's love for this place in every detail. This is someone who has poured his soul into creating something truly special for the community, and it shows.

When it comes to vibes, this place nails it. It feels like stepping back into the 1920s — or maybe just hanging out at your cool uncle’s house who happens to have impeccable taste in music. I actually enjoyed the live jazz here more than I did in the French Quarter, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be coming back.

That said, if you’re planning to drink, stick to the wine. The cocktails? As bad as they can possibly be — trust me.

The food was not what I expected, especially considering the prices, a bit underwhelming. The steak was well-prepared. But nothing spectacular. The salmon was well prepared too, but again, for the price it wasn't phenomenal. We also split the calamari and shrimp appetizer. Again, we have all had better, was the consensus. (My friend felt the sauce was very watery, I felt like it had a lot of condiments- salty.) I also ordered the French onion soup. That looked like it would be good, but I found it very over condimented, a lot of what tasted like cumin.) I think the best thing about this place is the service. Our waiter Laz did his best to make sure we were happy.

The happy hour offerings were exceptional, featuring a curated selection of drinks that perfectly complemented the evening's vibe. But what truly set this place apart was the live music—energetic, soulful, and absolutely off the charts! It transformed the night into a lively celebration, making it impossible not to tap your feet or sing along.

The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring every guest felt special. Whether you're planning a romantic evening, a night out with friends, or a solo retreat, this restaurant offers an experience that's both unique and memorable.

I can't wait to return and relive the magic. Highly recommend!
