Palm Court Jazz Café

Music /

NOTE: Palm Court will be closing on June 2. We wish our best to the owners of 35 years. We provide an atmosphere and a service which is not available anywhere else in the city. “Where can we dine and listen to live traditional jazz?” is the question most often asked at the Concierge desk in the hotels, at the tourist information centers. We fulfill this need with quality food and quality music in an elegant but relaxed period atmosphere. Our cuisine has an impeccable New Orleans pedigree and includes recipes dating back for generations. This is fine creole cooking in its most subtle and authentic form.
