"We had a fantastic time at the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our waitress, Evia the diva, was very attentive and made us feel at home. The blackened salmon and Jambalaya were fantastic. Evia also informed us about the live jazz upstairs and reserved a table for us while we dined in the main dining room. The band, which we didn't catch the full name of but had trio in it, played amazingly. We had to leave at intermission as we were celebrating my brother's birthday early. Thank you for a wonderful birthday celebration."

The service and atmosphere at this restaurant are both excellent! The cigar lounge is the perfect way to end a dinner date.

Very nice Valentine’s Day experience. Great food great service. Went from there to the the jazz/ cigar bar upstairs for a night cap and cigar. Overall great night

Loud, service was dismal, food average, at best, and expensive for what is is. Cigar smoke permeates all the levels and rooms. A disappointment by any measure. Will not return.

We had a wonderful evening at 219! The she crab soup was delicious and our server Eva was so sweet and took very good care of us. Can’t wait to come back the next time we are in town! View menu

The food was amazing and so was the service. It was a bit warm by the fire, but that was to be expected. The room had a masculine feel, reminiscent of a smoking lounge, which was both good and bad. The scent of cigars was noticeable when we first sat down at the table.

Horrible. I cannot express how bad this meal was. It is not authentic La food. As a native, I cannot believe the food. We left without eating and went to another restaurant. The shrimp poboy had 4 shrimp and no remoulade. The jambalaya had a horrible base. Just don't do it. No need to waste money or time.
