    Redfish dish called Fish Marigny didn’t taste fresh. Fishy aftertaste was unpleasant and we could not eat it. the appetizer broiled shrimp and fried Okra was good. We stayed for the Jazz show which was of excellent quality and value!!! will definitely return for the Jazz but will eat elsewhere in the Marigny before the show ty SCH

    I do not know if it is a New Orleans "thing" where everything is a little slower, but there were two of us at dinner and all the food was served (other guest's entree and sides and my sides) and it was a full 31 minutes before my entree (a ribeye steak) was served. All my other food was cold by then and the steak was delivered rare with some actual raw, uncooked spots. I had asked several times and was told "it is coming". We also selected this spot to grab a drink and some jazz afterward and were told, after the fact, that we would need to wait until the next show which was a full hour and 15 minutes to wait and see if it were "possible". Bottom line, plan ahead and ask questions depending on what you are planning to do at the venue. I would not go back or recommend it based on the vast options within New Orleans for good food and music as well as much more helpful staff dedicated to customer service at other places we visited.

    We loved the food and location. Were pleasantly surprised by a smaller than expected bill.... We would recommend!

    Loved the étouffée - The best I tasted in NOLA! There was good level of communication from staff ahead of time (to confirm we would be there as we were a bigger sized party); we had a great meal and great service. We even got to attend a fabulous jazz show after our meal. Highly recommend Snug Harbor!

    We brought our son and friends to New Orleans for their first trip and we had to take them to Snug Harbor! It was a fantastic, quintessential NOLA experience and all of us had a blast. Charmaine Neville and her band were fantastic. Such a great night!

    Ordered the stuffed shrimp with crabmeat as an appetizer and the lambchops were a special for my entree. The appetizer was delicious. The lambchops were slightly over cooked for my taste but had great flavor. The menu has a variety of options and I'd love to try some of the other dishes. Our group also had tickets for the jazz show upstairs later in the evening.
