If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. I was in NOLA for a week, and this was the place me and my wife kept talking about. We had the Feta fries, Lamb sliders, and crab fritters. WOW. it was plenty of food for two people, and extremely tasty. This was the culinary delight of the week. The food was so good that I knew we had to try dessert here. We had the peach filled empanada with home-made ice cream. It too was out of this world. The jazz band playing was actually really good and the perfect volume. If you are a townie, or a tourist...find this spot. You won't regret it. It is a "tapas" style menu, so if you looking to eat half a cow...just order more food. I will be dreaming of the lamb sliders for a while. read more

Easily the most disappointing dining experience during my time in N.O. LA. Don't get me wrong; the food -when I got it - was very good. But the bar service was almost non-existant, and terrible when it was there. There is no wait staff, and you're supposed to order both drinks and food at the bar. However; the two girls behind the counter were much more interested in chatting with their friends than in taking orders. The conversation ranged from which band they hated the most to how drunk they were going to get tonight. Charming. When I asked for a recommendation on a house cocktail, she said "Whatever. They're all pretty good." It went downhill from there. Once my food came, they never asked if I wanted anything else. I had planned to order another cocktail and desert, but when I finally flagged down a girl, she just dropped my check in front of me without a word. I gave up. Even a half-decent bartender would have done better. If you're gonna charge $10 and up for small plates that one must order at the bar - you'd better have some brisk and attentive servers. The night that I was there, they were neither. The food itself had five-star taste. But the very small portions (even for tapas) would make it a four-star value. One star for service. Let's call it two point five and round up in good faith. I hear that the owner is a musician and a very cool person. read more

One of my favorite places in New Orleans. The atmosphere of Frenchman... the local vibe... the great music... the excellent service... the *awesome* cocktails... and the food... the foooooood. (I didn't like the apple crumble thing... it was dry.... but the rest of it was drooly.) read more

This is one of my favorite places on frenchman. The music is just amazing and on top of that you can get craft cocktails and really just fantastic food thats different from most places in nola. I take all my visitors when in town! It can get a little crowded so if you would like dinner get reservations, have a cocktail and enjoy the throwback to the 1920s and 30s. read more

A gem along Frenchmen Street! Knowledgeable waitstaff, helpful hostess and delicious food. I had a drink special that was amazing (and strong!), subtle yet fruity. My husband and I shared a bowl of gumbo that had a flavorful broth - I could have drank it straight. We also shared bacon wrapped blue cheese dates (YUM!) in a balsamic reduction and a dish of fancy Brussels sprouts with ramen crunchies on top. Live music rounded out the evening. Try it! read more

Three of us enjoyed sharing a variety of plates. falafel mozzarella, tempura shrimp, blue cheese stuffed figs, Italian baked mac & cheese The falafel crust on the mozzarella was perfectly prepared and crunchy. There were plenty of shrimp and the tempura batter was nicely seasoned. What a creamy mac & cheese! Perfectly matched cheese for the sauce and the herbed bread crumbs added a nice crunch. Most unusual and tried for the first time, the blue cheese stuffed figs were so flavorful and such a great combination. Don't forget to check out the nice variety of cocktails. The Muse, Spaghetti Western, The Other Redhead and Earl Grey Gardens were all delightful. The addition of Joe Cabral's live music made the night perfect. read more

Absolutely delicious food, tasty cocktails, great music, great atmosphere, friendly service. This was my favorite meal in New Orleans. Standouts: Scallops with saffron linguine, steak & cake, The Muse (cocktail). Both the falafel and lamb sliders were good, but couldn't compete with the stellar seafood. After two unsuccessful attempts to get a table for dinner, we finally came at 4:45pm on a Sunday evening. The bar seating was full by 5:30, and the dining room tables by 6pm. If you want to eat dinner here I'd highly recommend getting in early or be prepared for a minimum one-hour wait. (But the wait will totally be worth it.) read more

Gonna try to give you the biggest things you need to know first: 1. This is not a dinner restaurant for a 'meat and potatoes' kind of guy 2. It does small plates and some specialty things exceptionally well 3. You're best bet is to get a reservation 4. The band could be great or eh- not the restaurants fault- and they do pass a tip bucket around to the patrons. GOOD: Cocktails! If you like a particular spirit- this is the place to try it in a cocktail. The Muse is Hendricks based with a blueberry syrup - but not too sweet. The Spaghetti Western is bit whiskey forward. The chef's special was a gin and cantaloupe concoction- but you get the idea- try a drink. FOOD: GET THE ICE CREAM! It is homemade and comes with a mini cookie and biscotti, got the choc and the peanut butter- it is some good stuff! The lamb sliders are as interesting and delicious as the other reviews say it is. The Less Good: the Meat and cheese plate left much to be desired. The cheese were limited and basically goat cheese, feta and something else. Meat looked like prosciutto and carpaccio. The steak and cake produced a sub par steak drowned in some weird sauce and an equally sub par crab cake. I love crab- I eat it everywhere- this decidedly missed the mark. On to the most important part - portion size. The plates are small and something to share with two people - a friend at our table suffered thru the meal and promptly took us down the street for a burrito at cafe negril- that review to come! read more

This place is a triple threat: they make the best craft cocktails in town, the food is great, and the live music and atmosphere are fantastic. Our Favorites: - Steak N Cake - Crab cakes and the best steak bites you will ever eat! - Lamb Sliders - simple but oh so good - Gull Fish Crudo - so delicate and well paired with the papaya Not so much: - Bacon wrapped dates - too much date and not enough goat cheese. If they used a dried fig it would be perfect. - Falafel wrapped Mozza - overcooked and too much breading. Drinks (the BEST Part) Nothing I didn't like. My wife ordered custom stuff "drink with egg white and bourbon" and "hot buttered rum tea" both of her special concoctions were amazing. She also had The Muse. I had these: - Spaghetti Western (surprisingly not to sweet, balanced perfectly) - The Other Redhead (awesome ginger notes in here) - Demi God (a great digestive drink) - Flying Squirrel (the pine taste and smell brought memories of hiking in Canada) Music was a band who played cello and violin. So good we bought the CD. As I mentioned this place is a triple threat. Despite the couple dishes I didn't like everything else was so incredible this place still gets 5 stars. They have the drinks, food, and atmosphere down to a science. GET RESERVATIONS NOW! We are fighting to make it back one more time before we leave. They are booked weeks out for a reason! read more

After a light dinner at Buffa's, a friend and I decided to grab a drink and check out some music at this trendy Frenchmen St. destination. I was almost upset that we had already eaten as the food we saw arriving to nearby tables looked absolutely delicious. The chef clearly takes pride in the presentation, which implies that the taste is probably just as good. The "mmmm"s and "wow"s we heard from our neighbors seemed to confirm that deduction. Similarly, the bartenders were very professional. The drinks are a tad expensive, but my friend seemed to enjoy her cocktail, and my glass of wine was tasty and large. At first, being in there was rather uncomfortable as the place is not nearly large enough to accomodate the small army of patrons on a Thursday night. We stood in the middle of the room getting bumped into by servers and guests while we waited for a place, any place already, to sit and be out of the way. Finally, a table of customers left, so we took their table and I turned down the sign that asked guests to reserve tables for diners. Fortunately, the server was understanding and agreed to let us sit there with the caveat that we may be asked to move if hungry people came in. Deal. While the place was and always is way too crowded, it's easy to see why Three Muses is so popular. The atmosphere is classy yet relaxed. A very friendly couple at a nearby table chatted with us for the duration of our visit and raved about their dessert. Luke Winslow King was ruling the stage and sounding great. And we finally left with the feeling that we would all live happily ever after. The one thing this place could do to improve itself would be to absolutely SUCK for just a couple of weeks (Wait, hear me out.) That way, it might thin out the crowd a bit. Then, it just might be perfect. read more

My friends and I stopped here for a quick drink and to have a listen to the music. It was a five piece, young band that were very enjoyable and enthusiastic to play. Really lovely. The gin and tonics we ordered were extremely strong, so no complaints there. This place is very clean and has a bit of a system going on with regards to the service. It's good, you just have to know what's going on. I just wish we were hungry enough to try the food! FYI ladies, the bathrooms are clean! read more

I don't know what I can add to the 151 (and counting) previous reviews, but there is no harm in trying. I really wanted to love this place, but I am just not there yet. If you have never been here, it is the classic cozy, cool, sophisticated NOLA jazz bar that specializes in live music and high quality not-your-run-of the-mill-slightly-larger-than-tapas dishes. Do I get bonus points for summarizing in one sentence? I've been in here a couple of times in the past year or two for drink and to hear some music. It has always been too crowded to even think about eating. This is not a big place, so even if you are lucky enough to grab a table under those circumstances, it's kind of weird having people standing close enough to dab the ettouffe from your chin. However, we were walking back from the French Quarter Festival recently and wandered in when it was early enough to grab a table and have room to let the ole belt out a couple of notches. I don't think I have actually ever seen an open table here before. That alone was enough to get excited about. The band was playing, every table and seat was filled, but the bartenders were out from behind the bar to wait tables because it was slow. Gives you an idea what it is like when it is busy. The normal protocol is to place a food or drink order at the bar. The kitchen delivers the food to your table. When you are ready to leave, you pay at the bar. It does makes sense, there really isn't room to have a waitstaff on the floor. Menu is really interesting, no oyster po-boys or cheeseburgers. I could have used a dictionary or pictures or maybe a pop-up for a couple of the choices. We ended up with Steak and cake, scallops ettouffe, lamb sliders and the brownie caramel dessert. Everything was excellent. The big surprise were the sliders, not sure what I was expected but I might fill up on them next time. I learned that servings are slightly larger than tapas, one order isn't enough to fill you, two seems like plenty. The place was starting to fill up as we finished our meal. I felt a little pressured, self imposed, to leave the table so the next couple could sit and eat. Bottom line - great atmosphere, great food, very good music, an interesting experience but not a great dining experience. I will be back with more realistic expectations. I was not thrilled by the band coming to my table to sell CDs. They weren't pushy, but it seems kind of tacky. $85 for two including drinks and tips. read more

Ugh, New Orleans is already such a sultry siren, how am I meant to resist her advances when places like Three Muses tempt me off the straight and narrow path I walk? Just kidding, bring on the hedonism, I licked every last plate clean. We came in on a busy Sunday night and were tucked into a cozy table toward the back. It was romantic and intimate, and there was a singing cellist as the musical entertainment that evening. The music was not so loud that we couldn't hear one another, and the whole vibe was charming. We indulged in the Radicchio salad, the rice bowl, spicy perfection with the kimchee, and the short ribs, which were done to absolute warm tenderness. Like a hug in my mouth. We housed everything put in front of us, literally not a scrap left on the plate. This is an incredible date night spot. I spotted many couples taking the opportunity to feast and fondle, and not a better place for it. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! I travel to NOLA once a quarter for work, and one of my coworkers told me to get off Bourbon St and down to Frenchman's St if I wanted to see where the locals hang out. He recommended Three Muses for great live music and great food. I am so glad I followed the suggestion!!! I walked in at 6:30 on a Thursday and almost every table was taken. You can only sit at tables if you plan to eat. I got the last table and ordered a couple small plates and a cocktail. There are no servers assigned to tables. You have to order food at the bar or catch one of the bar tenders walking around. Tom McDermott played piano through happy hour. He was fantastic! After he finished playing, Luke Winslow King and Esther Rose played all night. They were such an amazing duo. By 9pm, the place was packed with people watching the show. The food was amazing, but remember that the plates are extremely small when ordering. I had the bacon wrapped dates and lamb on top of roasted potatoes. Both were so so delish! Later, I had the ahi on roasted vegetable crackers. Equally yummy. One of the people at my table had the pork belly and they said it was the best thing on the menu. Another lady had the macaroni and cheese and the scallops. They both looked wonderful. The cocktail list is so creative! I had "The Muse", which was a cucumber strawberry gin cocktail. It was so yummy! I highly recommend it! Also, if you have room at your table, ask people to sit! I did this and got to meet a bunch of awesome locals. They told me that it was very cool that I did this, as it's how the locals behave too. This place was definitely the highlight of my trip. I can't wait to go back and hang here again! read more

Sold 3.5 stars but since I can't do half stars decided to round up. This place had so much potential and started off as one of the best experiences from my stay in NOLA. First off make a reservation using Open Table. This place takes almost no walk-ins and the bar is very small. Save the trouble. It is worth a visit as the music is excellent and the food is quite exceptional. Small portions that do pack a lot of flavor. We ordered the pork belly dish. And while it was good it made the least impact. Could have cooked a bit longer to create a better crust, needed perhaps a pinch of salt and perhaps some acidity. Wasn't bad but compared to the others didn't come close. The second dish was the Steak and Cake. Now this is the go to dish. Outstanding in tenderness and the crab cake pancake was perfect. Now for the service. While it started off great it ended on a very sour note for me. Our server imputed our ordered staggered so as to creat a few courses at different times. But either she forgot to enter the steak or it got lost. We got our first course on time but waited an additional 25 min after she said it would be right out. When I asked her she said "oh I staggered it and it should be coming now". Time passes so after 15min I asked again and she mentioned the ticket was lost. First off this place gives you an hour and half time limit for your reservation and we were now an hour in. She gave a generic apology and that's that. Not the kind of service I expected when they clearly value all other details. The food alone and the ambiance are only reason they get 4 stars. read more

We popped in to this cool little spot to catch some local Jazz. Looking to see John or Sophee to say hi as we're friends of John's late Uncle Sam. Anyway, the music never disappoints here. 3 piece band that grew to 4 during one of the sets. We waited for a seat at the bar that never opened up but we managed to catch 8-10 great songs before moving along. This area is a hot bed of hip jazz clubs and a nice escape from Bourbon St. Parking is always a challenge but we circled a few times and snagged a primo spot. I recommend taking a cab and leave the parking worries behind. Although we didn't eat, service seems to be adequate and all of the food looked and smelled amazing. read more

Three Muses - Nice 3pc band laying down some cool local jazz - Jazz & Blues Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

What a great experience! We chose to sit at the bar, and were not disappointed. The bartenders are lively and entertaining. As we only stopped by for a few cocktails, we enjoyed watching them make the drinks. The music was beautiful. The cocktails were divine. What a great spot to catch up with friends or enjoy some alone time with great, local music. On a busier night, I'd recommend calling ahead. read more

Great music and food. We were at NOLA for conference and Friday night was our only chance to dine at this restaurant. There was a 1.5 H wait for a table but Charlinda helped us to at least be seated at the bar and order from same menu. We were so happy and ate all the food we were hoping to taste. read more

Bummed. Before I left on my trip to NO, I researched the yelp reviews and made a list of must haves. This place was on my list. The raves about happy hour and pics of the food made me fill with anticipation. A short walk from the house, we arrive for HH at 5pm. Easily got a table, which is just lucky, I hear. We ordered one of each of the special plates and a ceviche. Companions got a couple cheap Abitas for $3. I don't drink and felt a little put-off that they charged me $4 for a ginger ale. There is very confusing service. They need to work on the "plan". Apparently you have to order your stuff at the bar. Several different people brought us food. The live music was really good. He was a cutie, too. On to the food. I'm an avid foodie. My daughter's a chef. I know what a small plate is. Our plates come. Small plates with tiny, Lilliputian food. We literally got one bite each. Are the HH ones tinier? We enjoyed the flavors of the stuffed dates, tempura shrimp, and pork/plantain combo. Nice execution. Not so much on the ceviche (bland) or fried eggplant (boring). The stuffed peppers reportedly had smoked salmon inside. We're not sure. They were literally thimble sized. Drizzled with a nice basil oil, but needed a crostini under it for texture. Kinda squishy. I can't comment on the craft cocktails, I went only for the food. We got the bill for $54. Noticed they charged us full price for the beer. Still happy hour. We pointed it out to the server. Who replied "No problem, just take the difference out of my tip". umm...who's tip? cuz like 5 people have waited on us???? I'm thinking this place is just a "cool" spot to be seen. It suffers a bit of hipsterishness. ugh. read more

Good food, wonderful hostess and GORGEOUS music. The ambiance of the restaurant was perfect, a shame our waiter was a complete asshole. When we arrived, our table was directly in front of the door despite us calling days ahead for a reservation... they didn't exactly save us the ideal spot. But that was all that was available when we arrived at our reserved time, so we mustered the cold for its lovely proximity to the music. Our waiter, a slicked back blond caucasian "gentleman," arrived to give us a menu and explain that the two prices next to the items were tasting/full orders and take our drinks. When he returned later, the following exchange occurred- ME: What's the difference with the tasting and full order for the lamb sliders? HIM: As I already told you, they're for tasting and full orders. ME: .... Yeah. Meaning what specifically is different in this order? HIM: The amount of sliders. ME: Which is...? HIM: Two. My god, apparently this was the first time in his life someone inquired on how many burgers are in a $9 or $17 order of sliders! Also, he did "already tell" me the difference in the pricing, but that wasn't the question, and the snottiness and reluctance to give information didn't win him any points. Luckily or unluckily, he barely spoke to us again for the rest of the evening. The kicker was that the tables are so close together we could hear him chatting happily with the people around us and offering answers without being an ass! I feel badly the runners and hostess didn't get any of the tip from us, but that kind of attitude from the waiter earned a whopping $0 tip from me. A word of advice to that waiter- avoid saying you "already told" someone something when they inquire about the menu. You didn't, and even if you thought you had, you sound like a huge jerk phrasing it that way. If someone doesn't tip you again for your incredibly rude and condescending service, don't say I didn't tell you. read more

Sometimes simple is the best way to go. Absolutely delicious tapas-style menu, strong, distinct cocktails in an intimate live jazz setting on the vibrant Frenchmen Street. We had initially made reservations here for a Sunday night, but after eating too large of a lunch (story of our lives in Nola), we called to move back our reservation. Unfortunately, it fills up very quickly here, so they weren't able to accommodate over the phone. However, once we got there, a table opened up and we got a great table in perfect view of the live jazz show! You have your table for 1.5 hrs (I can see why this is time-limited bc of the music) and that is just the right amount of time. Highly recommending splitting some small plates/apps, ESPECIALLY the kale and ricotta bruschetta and the pork belly! Out of this world. Everything is prepared and presented so well. Highly recommend Three Muses for a wonderful night out in Nola! read more

We were told to avoid Bourbon Street and check out Frenchmen Street for dinner, drinks, and music. (Great advice, by the way.) Three Muses had great reviews and now we know why! I'll add to them: Friendly, knowledgable servers, tasty drinks, and well-crafted tapas. Between two of us, we shared the tempura shrimp, steak and (crab) cake, bruschetta, and bacon-wrapped dates. (Four is plenty for two people!) All were delicious. For drinks, by husband enjoyed a local red ale and I tried their champagne supernova cocktail. Yummy! The kicker? Incredible live jazz music. We called ahead to make a reservation and they had a table right up front waiting for us! A great experience. I highly recommend this spot. read more

We did what you should always do when you are in another city, ask the locals where they eat!! This place was recommended from our French Quarter Tour Guide and well worth the walk down. Something else I learned. I had been conditioned to expect Cajun or creole at every meal and it was refreshing to get away from it and find a chef on par, ahead of the trend and turning out quality food that wasn't blackened, spicy or over seasoned. I had a very nice local beer recommended when the one I wanted was out at the tap and the one he brought was great! There was an excellent variety of beers, cocktails and wine available. The menu is basically served tapas style so we had the following: Duck Confit salad with a cherry compote and pickled, grilled peaches. Hand cut fries with feta cheese and gremolata Lamb sliders with and herbed goat cheese and tomato jam. House made mozzarella crusted in falafel on top of a tomato chutney...I've become a bit of a mozzarella snob and this was pretty damn good. It was fried so it was nice and stringy but not so melted that it lost its favor and consistency! We finished with chocolate cream cheese brownie with malted vanilla ice cream and a cherry. The food was delicious, the beer was cold, the service was terrific and the atmosphere was out of this world! A Dixie band was playing and the walls were adorned with local art. If you're in NOLA, do yourself a favor and come down to this place. NOLA is rich with the spirit of the muse in itself and this restaurant does an above expectations job of encompassing culinary, musical and artistic. And unexpected experience in a place where expected is the norm! read more

We stumbled upon Three Muses during our first few hours exploring Frenchmen Street. We put our names in for a table and had a long wait. But who cares! There's plenty to entertain you in the area while you wait. A late dinner at Three Muses was the perfect way to start our weekend in New Orleans: great food, local beers, wonderful live music, and friendly service. My group of four shared a bunch of tapas including: seared scallops, bacon wrapped dates, lamb sliders, swiss chard fritters (AMAZING), mac n' cheese, and feta fries. Almost everything we tried was great and we stayed for hours, listening to the music and ordering more tapas as the night went on. Definitely a gem on Frenchmen! read more

Looks like a small divey place...but, no! The food was amazing and we loved the live piano! We were here early and can only imagine what a later evening would be like! read more

I went at happy hour on a Wednesday. Food: 4 stars Service: 2 stars A lady bartender helped me out tonight-- couldn't have been more uninterested in serving me. She was 100% unable to articulate the happy hour specials. She said, "It depends on when the live music starts. The prices go up then." I was the only customer in the restaurant with zero music. I paid full price at 5:00. #Fail. Bartender told me they all used to work at Brasserie down the street. I'm not surprised they all left together. There was a restaurant dude at the end of the bar buried in his laptop. Owner? Not sure. Another server was behind the bar, acknowledged me not. This wouldn't be unusual if I wasn't the only person at the bar. Clean and tasty, but certainly not an extraordinary experience. I can get superior food in LA with poor hospitality. Fried pickles, crawfish turnovers, spicy popcorn were delicious. Would've rather had pizza on the corner with nicer people. read more

5 stars all the way, This is the type of restaurant/ lounge that makes you rethink all your star ratings because Three Muses blows them all out of the water. I don't know what was better, the live awesome 1920's jazz music or the fabulous food. This place is a winner in my book. They have delicious old fashioned and freshly made cocktails here unbelievably in the $7/ $8 range. I tried the lavender lace and the fiance got the Pim's cup. Tell me where have you ever seen a Pim's cup on a menu? The only other place we had heard of it was on the show Boardwalk Empire. I swear I thought I had fallen back into the 1920's here. I really couldn't stop saying how much fun I was having. As for food, I highly recommended the scallops. They were the highlight of the evening. Super creamy and and the felafel crust on them worked so well. Who knew. I really don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu we had a few other small plates and they were all good. Now to add this review to my Best of the Best list. read more

The food was superb and the jazz fun. We made reservations and ordered food. The local beer was the best IPA (Jusifer).

Jazz and small plates with some tequila to go around. Great atmosphere. Watched Luke Winslow King, enjoyed some specialty cocktails and food. "Mexican 75L" - or something like that: Awesome. Flatbread: Ok. Cheese helped it out, the cauliflower blend was a bit to bland. Shrimp Spring Roll: Good - nothing mindblowing. Fried Oysters on Grits: GET THIS PLEASE, thanks. Holy good. Peanut Butter Ecstasy: Not the best. Great drink presentation, served in courses so we never had too much on the table as once. read more

You put your name in with the host that guards the doors. You are not allowed to go in until your table is ready 2 hours later. When its your turn the host tells you that there are no servers just 3 bartenders which you are supposed to "hunt down". I made a list, went to the bar and order everything in one swoop from the drinks to dessert. We were in and out in 45 mins. We did enjoy most of the foods, especially the steak. but the attempt to make this place exclusive is just frustrating and comes off pretentious. read more

Let me start by saying this place is as good as it gets. I stopped in here during my third visit to NOLA, and was literally blown away. The food was absolutely incredible, to the point that was actually shocked. It was 5 star dining in a bar setting, which is not something you see every day. We tried a variety of food, and not a single thing brought disappointment. Yes, the portions aren't huge, but it's still a bar at the end of the night, and you would be foolish to expect anything else. The drinks were delicious as well, and I'd recommend that anybody visiting try the Mama's Moonshine. It's one of a few of their delicious house cocktails, and the flavor blend is literally perfect. To add to the wonderful experience provided by mouthwatering food and drink, a live jazz band plays in the corner every night. The music is fantastic, and brings a new value to your experience being that not a cent is charged to get in here. Now, of course good food, good drinks, and good music, makes for a very crowded environment. If you don't get there early, expect a wait. Just remember that when you walk through that door, you're walking through the door of a pub. It feels, and looks like what it is. If you're looking for a nice big roomy booth, or a table that fits 40 of your friends, you really shouldn't be looking to dine at what is, once more, a pub. All of that aside, come here looking for a great time, knowing what you're walking in to, and you will have the time of your life. read more

Wow fish tacos were the best I've ever had. The chef knew what he was doing with that one. My husband loved the fries, he had to get a second order. The sliders were robust with flavor. Super cool ambiance. There was a fantastic pianist playing during lunch time. read more

This brand spanking new, upscale restaraunt and bar is a perfect addition to the Frenchmen Street scene. Fully stocked bar serving up fancy spins on mojitos, martinis, the beer list is top notch, with almost all the local brews represented. You can have your choice of cocktails while you listen to Miss Sophie Lee sing, as this is her newest regular gig. The food will not let you down either, the menu is fabulous. I had the pleasure of crabmeat ravioli and skirt steak puttenesca and I won't lie. I went back for seconds. This is definitely going to be one of my new regular spots to hang out, and keep an eye out on the interwebs, there's a webcast that will be streamed live from the bar! read more

Ah... Three Muses. What are the three muses you may ask? Well... if we weren't so lazy, I guess we could peruse the website to see what they were, but that actually seems like a lot of work. So, I'm just going to say that for me, the three muses represent good food, good music and good cocktails. Simple enough, right? But really, how many places do you go to where you LOVE the food, but the cocktails are so-so? Or the have delicious cocktails, but the food is lacking in flavor or originality? Well, this place gets it right! Three owners, from three different backgrounds, work together to bring us one place where we can get it all. I want to say that I've had different drinks here, but that would probably be a lie. The only drink I have here is the Blueberry Bellini... It is spectacular. If you like champagne and blueberries, then this is the drink for you. If not, I feel sorry for you. No one should go through life without a wonderous love of champagne. Every now and again the chef will be inspired to add something new to the food menu, but the staples remain the same. My favorites are the Lamb Sliders, the Lobster Eggrolls, the Feta Fries and the delicious Pork Belly. I've never had a bad dish here, but that Pork Belly is simply divine! The music is one reason that I frequent this place so often. The shows are free, but they ask a 1 drink minimum per set. . I never have a problem with a 1 drink minumum. (Blueberry Bellini, of course). The music various from traditional jazz to blues to local singer/songwriter reviews. They do a really good job of booking talent and being that the venue is so intimate, you actually have a chance to talk to the musicians before, after and even inbetweent sets. (Don't forget to tip. And if you can, buy them a drink.) The only problem I have with Three Muses is tt's a pretty small place. and it can get pretty packed... especially for the 7pm music sets; leaving you without a table or a bar seat. So, I suggest getting there between 6 & 6:30 for a pretty much guaranteed seat. The crowd varies. But it's always cool people, who enjoy good food, good music and good cocktails, so you will be in pleasant company. Have a great time! read more

Dropped into 3 Muses the other night on my way home and it's as delicious as ever. I couldn't even tell you what musician was playing because I was having a moment of ecstasy with my Butternut Squash Ravioli. Seriously, this is one of the most fulfilling things I've ever had in my mouth (draw your own conclusions). Love that this place is smoke free. Bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. Although it can get very crowded, it's worth the wait. Please note that the plates are small, so feel free to sample the menu. read more

Neat atmosphere but the food isn't good enough to justify cost. Service was good, they were all very nice. Feta fries are a gimmick. I don't see the point.. The feta falls off all but the fries at the top. The lobster egg rolls were good but not even close to uniform (one was fat and short and one was skinny and long). The scallop linguine was ok but scallops and tomatoes slightly overcooked. The skin of the tomatoes were very tough.. Good dish, slightly too oily. The lamb sliders were dry and I wish the blue cheese wasn't on there. All in all, this is a hip place. But not sure it is worth it unless you like elevator music. read more

Food is great but most importantly, the music is dynamite. We were here for GDA plus James the sax player and piano man and trombone protégé. I haven't had this much time feeling the music. Will definitely be back. read more

Three Muses - Jazz & Blues Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Love this place! Only place to sit is the Bar where you are over the chatter of dining patrons and you get to watch the performers and artisans at the Bar. They use fresh juices daily and create amazing concoctions. Am trying the lambs sliders based on other reviews. read more

See all

This is my favorite spot in NOLA. Right on Frenchman St, it has live music all night and is an intimate dinner setting. Highly highly recommend getting a reservation or you most likely won't get a spot. It's so popular that they limit your time in dining. The style is small plates that are shared. It is on the pricier side but very worth it. One of the best meals and overall experiences I've ever had. read more

I dig Three Muses, because it's close to the touristy French Quarter, but is so totally, refreshingly Marigny. It, like the Uptown Delachaise, which I also visited on my most recent trip to the Crescent City, is a gastropub/winebar with small plates and a decent selection of wine and draft beers. Be advised that the plates are indeed quite small. If you're starving, I'd say you could easily put away three of them yourself. My friend and I had two each, plus dessert, and weren't super full when we left. Seating is also limited and the seats by the door were absolutely freezing! It was a warm evening in late November, but the doors were open and cold air was blowing on us. Eventually we moved to the bar when two seats opened up there. You order at the bar, which seems to somehow work better here than it did at Delachaise. The food runner was sweet as pie! There is an impressive vegetarian portion of the menu, of which we sampled the feta fries, falafel bites, housemade rigatoni, and miticana gratin, all of which were totally yum. For dessert: chocolate heaven and banana-marscapon struedel. I'm drooling over the memory of eating it. The band playing was just freaking excellent. I had a 9:00 Fringe Fest show to be at, so we missed most of their show, but what we saw / heard was super. I'd definitely visit again, next trip down south. read more
