Rooftop dining at the Balcony

($18), alligator-shrimp jambalaya ($22) and crawfish etouffee ($23).

Bananas Foster is flambéed on a cart tableside ($12).

Bourbon laces the Sazerac ($15), Viuex Carre ($15) and milk punch ($16).

The first floor with an open-air feel, pressed-tin ceiling combined with brick arches, red seating and dark-wood trim calls for sophisticated dining, while the large upstairs bar and lounge with misters and a louvered roof exudes a club vibe. Up front, hanging baskets of ferns and another bar line the wrought-iron balcony.

Musicians and DJs entertain Thursday through Saturday nights, plus during the Sunday a la carte jazz brunch.

Lunch and dinner are served daily. Saturdays feature all-you-can-eat crawfish boil ($35).
