    We waited almost two hours and never received our entrees. The ambiance is great and the band was fantastic. T Management took care of it as best they could but that is unacceptable. Especially since there were only a handful of tables actually being used.

    My fiancé and I had so much fun! The drinks were outstanding. I got the perfect gin and tonic which really was perfect! He got the father figure and was impressed green chartreuse was available and used in this. The ambiance was great and the entertainment was amazing! We were laughing and having a great time.

    It was nice but the service was slow making it so the food was at poor temperature when it arrived to the table.

    Excellent food and friendly staff. There were three performances in every room of the HOB and it was slammed. Our service suffered including order errors and delays. We missed the opener in the music hall even though we started dinner at 7p

    This is the second time I’ve dined in the Foundation Room. My first experience was some time ago and I found it to be top notch in service and food. It compared to anything in NOLA. For this trip, the food was still very good and I can recommend the Airline Chicken. The atmosphere is a wonderful experience and upscale ultra cool lounge. But the service at the table was less than expected, the server did not cover the menu or discuss any options. It is what you would expect from Chilis. The band playing was a jazz trio. The drummer loved loud solos. A lot. Kinda like Dewey in No Vacancy. Food very good, atmosphere very swanky, service meh. Music, too loud for venue. I will be fair, the time of year and heat season can be factors in NOLA and I know many places are still struggling post COVID.

    Wow! This place was fabulous. We heard a wonderful singer, Anna Hudson, perform. We truly felt like we were getting the VIP treatment with the courteous staff and the jazzy singer.

    A large party was booked and no consideration given for people dining with loud music from a dj… thought I was going to see jazz musician and was not happy with being in the midst of someone’s party… also waitress was not good…poor dining experience and won’t return. Should have not booked dining with a large party who took over the dining room area…disappointing

FAQs

Yes, Foundation Room House of Blues New Orleans is a strong date‑night choice, with an intimate, swanky atmosphere, live music, and guests praising the food, wine, and anniversary/date‑night visits.

Expect lively nights when live bands, DJs or large private parties are on, the dining room can feel taken over for those events, while some visits have been notably quiet: one reviewer found plenty of empty tables on a Saturday night and another said the room wasn’t busy around 8:30 before more guests arrived later.

For the full Foundation Room experience, visit on a live-music night and arrive a couple of hours before a scheduled show to enjoy the lounge and the performers.

Foundation Room House of Blues New Orleans offers a dining room and a dedicated lounge, plus balcony seating, outdoor seating, and private-party options.

Yes, several guests report sitting outside and enjoying live music from the outdoor spot, so al fresco dining is available.
