    Grilled cheese with crawfish

    Beautiful space. Pretty good customer service. They had free live show the night i attended food was soooo yummy and well serviced.

    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

    My best friend and I came here for dinner on our girls trip and it was phenomenal. Loved the atmosphere. Our waitress was busy but fantastic. Will definitely return. Their steak skewers were some of the best steak I've ever had. I highly recommend coming here even if you only order these.(their seriously that good!!) We tried multiple other things and all of them were absolutely delicious!

    It was nice. Service great, intimate setting. We only stayed a short time, but I enjoyed it while there.

    Alex provided excellent customer service for the Taylor swift dance party! We had such a good time!

    Love coming to this lounge! Always great service and vibes. While the food was good, it wasn't consistent, being that both our plates had something different on it or didn't have something originally from our previous visit. We still will be back again.

    Steak Skewers. Very good! "Chargrilled Prime Steak!"

We were there after jazz fest, and it was extremely crowded so we ordered the bar, took our drinks and found a comfy seat in the lobby where we could chat. We may have seen someone famous while we were there so always keep an eye out. It is a popular spot for people visiting the city.

The presentation of the food came was amazing. We ordered the linguine and added meatballs, which was well worth it. We also ordered the shrimp & grits, which included Brussels sprouts. Boy, it was sure nice to get some vegetables in my stomach after eating all that yummy fried food during our stay! All in all, both dishes were delicious. It is a little on the pricey side, but after several days of eating in the touristy area of the French Quarter, this was truly a welcome change. Service was polite and attentive. I always appreciate the staff's efforts by making simply making eye contact and smiling (which they did). Seems trivial but I think those small things says a lot about a business.

The ambiance is amazing, plus velvet, emerald and sapphire tone, glitzy, and feels like a good photo op. The bar and cocktail menu looked expansive. However, I was going to be hopping on a meeting, so I could not partake, unfortunately. A group got this impressive tower of espresso martini and everyone seemed to be enjoying their drinks! I wanted that New Orleans seafood but had late lunch, so I opted for just the crispy gulf shrimp on cheesy grits. I really wished I can hungrier because the dish ended up being very heavy. The shrimp were nice and crispy. The charred Brussels sprouts gave me the false sense that this was a healthy dish because I was getting my veggie intake. The bacon jam was sweet and went well with the Brussels sprouts. I loved the combination of the cheesy grits and the Crystal hot sauce. It was the perfect amount of both and some how led me to understand why Americans put hot sauce on their Mac n cheese and some other cheesy dishes after 30 years of not really understanding the attraction to that combo. I got the marinated olives to go so I could have a little snack later. They were just stuff I feel I could get in a jar... not really sure if I could justify the price. I think this is a fine place if you're looking for a photogenic night out drinking with a group of friends. Could be really cute for brunch!

Not to mention they will take whatever tip amount they like out if you forget to close your tab.

The website suggest it takes an hour and a half to experience the whole place, we walked the whole place, took pictures, watched 2 videos in well under an hour and a half. The employees were very nice and helpful; maybe I expected to much of Vue but I say temper your expectations.
