What doesn't this place have? Live music, delicious food, and bomb cocktails all around. Cocktails - Persephone's Downfall and Lavendar Lace. Do it. Food: Three Muses Fries are a can't-miss. Mac and Cheese with brussel sprouts--I didn't even know I liked brussel sprouts until I had these. I really liked that they give you a small or large portion option. Service: Wonderful. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Venue: Live music. Made me feel like I was in a dreamy intimate jazz club. Which I was! Only Con: We got the best table in the house however, it was right near the door so people kept swinging it and hitting V. Hilarious, but he was losing patience. Get a spring for that door yo! **Only takes 2-3 credit cards per table I believe. read more

Oh my, this was a great find. The food is great and the mixologists talented. What more can a girl ask for? Oh yeahhh, music! We were visiting New Orleans and found this in the Cities Guide from the Travel Channel. It did not disappoint as a bar. The drinks were outstanding and the braised pork belly served on a scallion cake was outrageously delicious. BUT The place has some issues. 1. It's very hard to find a place to sit where you can actually SEE the band. There are pillars down the middle of the restaurant that you can't see around. The first night we were there for drinks so it was sort of OK and we had fun anyway. 2. When we made a reservation for the second night we specifically said we were there to see the band and yet we still go seated where we couldn't see them. They weren't busy yet but the hostess refused to seat us anywhere else. We had told our server (who was very good) that we were planning on lingering but we bought food and drinks in several stages so we were unpleasantly surprised when we went to order dessert and the server informed us that the hostess wanted us to move to the bar (standing room only) to make the table available for someone else. I've never been one to hog a table without ordering enough and making it up to the server and there were several open tables still. We ended up leaving instead. SO go for the drinks and the bar nibbles but don't expect to spend the evening eating, drinking and listening to music. read more

Came here on our vacation. This was. A great pace to dine and enjoy some music. Especially if you are not into the craziness of Bourbon Street. Reservations should be made if you have a group since it is a small place and seating is limited. We ordered a lot of food and they were all delicious. The portions are small so you can sample them all. Service was also great and we definitely would recommend this place to our friends and families and you too if you're thinking about going here. read more

Three Muses - Very flavorful Lamb Sliders - Jazz & Blues Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Love love love this place. We went there for a first time visiting New Orleans and couldn't be happier. The food was delicious and we loved having live music. I loved it so much we went back there a few days later for my birthday. The food orders are definitely small, and we were glad we took their advice to order about 2 things per person. I'd recommend spacing out your orders since the food comes out quickly and whenever it's ready. Also, our experience around the holidays was that it's critical to make a reservation online - they weren't taking any walk-ins. read more

Three Muses is a tapas bar unlike any other I've frequented. Gone is the pretentiousness that are normally associated with tapas restaurants I've visited. Instead there was a really nice, easy going, order from any of us cause it gets loud in here type vibe. I wish i could remember what we ordered, but there were four of us and we ordered a bit of everything. The sweet potato gnocchi was so good we had to order another round. I also had a blueberry mojito that was divine. The food came out fast and all of it was just incredible. We totally would have spent some serious cash if not for another engagement we had to get to. Oh, get there early, cause this place will get crowded quickly. it's that good. read more

Went here last night to try out the food and I have to say, fellow Yelpers, that I was slightly disappointed. Got the feta fries ($7), small bruschetta ($8), small butternut squash ravioli ($8), and fish tacos ($9). I knew what I was getting into with the feta fries, but why not just melt the damn cheese so I don't have to pick it up with my fingers and PLACE it on the fries? The fish tacos were alright, but I expected the fish to be breaded. Sadly, it was not and the fish was a little too fishy for me (yes, I realize that sounds silly). The redeemers were excellent; the bruschetta and the ravioli. I have no idea what they put in that ravioli: cinnamon? butter extract? crack? but it was effing heaven. It's the butteriest butter flavor you can have AND the ravioli is surprisingly sweet. It would be a slam dunk for me, but the $8 is just sooooooo small. I knew going in that portions would be small but they're really teeny tiny. We also had the orange blossom sazerac ($9) which my boyfriend loved and the Lavender Lace ($7), a champagne and lavender bitter drink which I thought would be more lavendery. I probably won't come back but I'm glad I tried it. Also, as a side note, this is one of the more low-key places on Frenchmen and it you sit in the back you won't have to yell to talk. read more

Our first meal in New Orleans and it did not disappoint! We did have a 30 minute wait since we didn't have reservations but we killed that time by having a drink at 13. Once inside, the Jazz was in full action and we were seated at the window- prime people watching during Mardi Gras! And we saw some interesting stuff. But you're here for the food... I had the Earl Grey Gardens drink which had a light earl tea flavor to it. It was light. For food, this is a tapas place, so we did shared plates. We got the French fries, lamb sliders, fish tacos and scallops. I like the fries and sliders the best. The sliders came with pickles which was a nice touch. The scallops were my least favorite tapas we ordered. I heard this was on a best foods list so I'm glad we stumbled on it! read more

Packed!!! If you want to get a drink- just go in. If you want to eat - be prepared to wait for 2-3 hours! Kitchen closes at 11 pm and they have happy hour from 3-6 pm. You might be able to get a table when the kitchen is 30 mins to closing. Drinks are good. Desserts are good. Try the Coconut Cake. Really yummy! Music is good. No Cover. Will come back again to try their Feta Fries. read more

(5/10/13) We were told that this was one of the good places to go if you wanted to enjoy some local food without the tourist trap prices. My friend and I arrived just before the happy rush, which meant we were able to find a table before it became crowded. I tried the shrimp tempura (pretty good), lobster egg rolls (o.k. - tasted mostly like cabbage, the lobster wasn't noticeable) and lamb sliders (pretty good). In general, the food was o.k. but not necessarily memorable, however, the goat cheese cheesecake was very good - not to sweet and just the right serving size. I think that I would go back for the cheesecake. We were told that the restaurant doesn't really do table service, so when the staff isn't nearby, you just pop over to the bar and place your order. Unfortunately, the live band wasn't playing during our stay. read more

Tom McDermott as house entertainment, playing three feet from our table? Here, Three Muses, have another star, won't you? This is a good choice in the transformed Frenchman street tourist district for interesting dishes in the "small plate" format, not quite tapas, but not quite entrees, either. The best way to experience their menu is in a group, preferably one where everyone is willing to share a portion. Most items are served in discrete pieces that are easily shared (scallops, deviled eggs, etc.) The food is good, if a bit on the rich side. So too are the prices, so expect to drop about $30 per person on food. If you're listening to someone like Tom McDermott perform live without a cover charge, that becomes part of the price. Consider that a bargain (but don't forget to tip the musician). The "vegetarian" version Deviled Egg menu item dispenses with the duck fat crisp atop each egg. But an egg is an egg; beware, vegetarians, these don't grow on trees. That is perhaps unfair criticism, as the menu here is definitely trying to provide alternatives to standard fare such as bacon-wrapped dates and scallops with a macque-choux vegetable side. One problem at a recent visit was some inconsistency in service. One entree showed up a couple of minutes after the rest, leaving one in my party diner to implore the rest to "go ahead, don't wait for me". That shouldn't happen. The drink service was right on top of our needs. My recommendation is to keep an eye who's playing (Tom McDermott, the New Orleans piano professor whom I'll mention a third time here, is a great example), and plan to have dinner when they're on. Sometimes they start right when the doors open at 5. That's a wonderful option if you want to catch some live, local music with a six-year old in tow, even on a school night. read more

Three Muses was wonderful. But just under 5 stars. Food was fantastic, all was a reasonable price for the area the restaurant is in. We ordered the fries, which are your average fries - a good carb. The Mac and cheese was so gooey and delicious. The falafel was probably my favorite. And the fish tacos were pretty tasty as well. Nothing was bad! The atmosphere is chill and cool. Laid back with good feels. I'm a big fan of the size of the place, intimate and small. The jazz band was great, especially the bassist. And it was clean. That being said, make reservations like WEEKS in advance for parties of 2 or more. Id go back for sure, but Frenchman is my jam so more to come. read more

Food 4stars Live band 5stars But prices for the portion sizes is 2stars at best Three muses got me fucked up - paying 16$ for a small ass crab cake and 4 slices of steak No- just no It's a great place to go to if youre looking for live music and small topas food, but honestly there are other places on frenchman that have live music and if i wanted to spend almost 20$ for portion sizes this big i would have stayed in Los Angeles That being said I got their steak and cake which was good but again i wouldnt pay that price for the portion size I also ordered their peanut butter pie which was really rich pretty good would def recommend splitting it with someone because it can be a bit much read more

Is this what Paris is like? A 200 year old building with too many tables stacked on top of one another with additional seating up against each wall. Somehow, they managed to leave enough room for a fully stocked bar. Three Muses offers a Daily Riff specialty cocktail. Today's was made with Bulleit Rye Whiskey and a lemon syrup. The bartender recommended the housemade gnochetti in a deliciously creamy cheese sauce with peas, pancetta, and breadcrumbs. This could be the fanciest version of macaroni and cheese I've consumed to date. I approve. Also, halfway through my dinner a live band was performing real music. This isn't merely a good restaurant; dining here feels like another place and time where food and ambience can transcend a cramped room to create a lively and intimate dining experience. read more

Hands down, Three Muses provided the best dining experience during my stay in NOLA. Traveling with a large party, we ordered a variety of dishes to sample the menu. The result? Each spoonful that made its way to my mouth delivered flavor and quality. Do not leave here without tasting the pork belly. Seriously, if there was a dictionary for how a dish should be defined in taste, I would hope this is the entry that defines "pork belly." I know I'm raving but it was so good that my party ordered a second order to go. Another highlight is the Mac N Cheese. You could literally paint the air with strands of cheese; it's the perfect dish to use IG's boomerang feature on. Overall, the mood of the restaurant is calm and warm; the live music adds to the aura. Perhaps the only negative is the small space; a busy night could have you waiting about an hour, but I assure you, it is worth the wait. And once again, Do NOT leave here without tasting the pork belly. You'll thank me later. read more

Quaint jazz bar on Frenchman. It's a little awkward getting in the front door for a table when the band is playing. However, the food and spirits quickly make up for it. A frequent stop on the list when visiting New Orleans. The bacon wrapped dates are an interesting appetizer to try! read more

Absolutely fantastic. The music, the food, the people -- all 5 stars. We arrived here pretty late in the evening on New Year's Eve. As expected the wait was forever for a table and I hadn't reserved early enough to get one for the holiday so we tried our shot for the bar (no wait). Boy, did we get lucky, as we arrived two people left the bar table and we swooped on their seats. The music was jamming, some great classic jazz as well as some wonderful R&B. The bartender was extremely friendly and helpful in getting us drinks that fit our preferences and got to ordering some tapas. We went for the meat and cheese plate and the steak. Oh my god that steak. Everything came into place: drinks, food, ambiance, music, company. We closed the 2015 year with a great experience that I will never forget! read more

On my first night in New Orleans, walking down Bourbon Street to Three Muses was definitely worth it. Passing through all the crazy costumes, booze and naked chicks made the trendy, unassuming, blues filled restaurant/bar that much more welcoming. I went there because of the good reviews, and ordered based on what others in Yelp had reported. I was not disappointed. The Mac&Cheese with brussel sprouts was amazing. The "Dirty Dan" martini was delicious. 2 martinis, entree and Mexican Chocolate ice cream cost me $30! WHAT!? That's super cheap for this DC girl. I spent the evening chatting with a local, retired gentleman who had entertaining stories and great food/music recommendations. I was there alone, which worked to my advantage: I got a seat at the bar while groups waited close to an hour for a table. This was at 7pm on a Sat in Oct. The only negative was that I spent 10 minutes sitting at the bar without anyone behind the bar making eye contact with me. Finally, a bar tender washing glasses happened to look up and I placed an order with him. That didn't make me feel welcome, but I got my drinks and food very quickly. Live Jazz/blues was fantastic! Go to Three Muses if you can. They are very busy, so don't expect great service. read more

I've really liked the music every time I've been here and they've all been really different styles of music. Now the food: The bruschetta changes a lot so when I was there the second time we had an eggplant one and it was amaaaaazing!! The best I've had, though for 3 kinda big pieces, $9 is pretty steep... As was the $9 Lobster Egg Roll (2) - I didn't even really taste much lobster and $9 Fish Tacos (3 mini). The vegetarian rice bowl and edamame were good and filling, especially in proportion to its price. The cool atmosphere, good music, friendly staff, and fresh food ideas will keep me coming back. And in a town with so many awesome places to eat I rarely say that. read more

Oh, New Orleans. Your French Quarter always tries to lure us in, but this time we found ourselves charmed by the Marigny. More specifically, the Three Muses called to us, and we are *so* glad that we answered. This restaurant is the love child of a great jazz club, a bar and a tapas-ish restaurant. But oh does it work ... the ambiance is superb, the service is spot-on and the food. Oh, the food. Don't be put off by the smallish plates of food. Everything we had was rich and flavorful and filling, and it was easy to make a succulent meal out of two or three dishes. We'll be back. I promise. read more

One of the best meals I had in New Orleans! Just thinking back to the food is enough to make my mouth water. There's no point in listing menu items to try: absolutely everything here is delicious (although I'll give an extra special shout-out to the bleu cheese filled dates wrapped in bacon. Foodgasm!). The drinks and music were great, but it's the food that really shines through here. If you want to come here for a meal, make sure to come early, especially if you have a large group. I came with a pretty large group (6 people) about half an hour after they opened, and we barely managed to get a table big enough to fit us. All of the food comes in small or large portions. I recommend getting a bunch of small portions so you can try as much as possible. The signs posted around the columns all say to order both food and drinks at the bar, but some of the staff also periodically walk around the tables, and you can also place an order with them to put on your tab. We didn't have any problems, but it did feel a bit disjointed, and I wonder if they get orders and payments mixed up when the place is more full. It's not a great place to bring little kids, but if you do, order them the gnocchietti; it's basically creamy mac and cheese. read more

Great tapas on the outskirts of the French Quarter. I recommend getting here early and enjoying it before a walk through the quarter at night. The food was all very, very good. Creative dishes in reasonable portions at slightly higher than I would have liked prices. But OK nonetheless! The steak and cake was the winner for sure. $16 but every bite delicious. Live music was fun. Not super loud and enjoyable. Reservations absolutely needed. Stopped by one night at 7 and was told I wouldn't be getting in at all that evening. read more

The food was delicious the service was nice, and the band was cool,but very small plates for the price. The entree looked like it was an appetizer. We had the ground lamb for the entree and it can with two small sauté looking patties and 1/4 of a baguette. We also had the blue cheese stuffed dates and the Duck confit for actual appetizers. The dates are small of course but you only get 3 and the duck is basically two small pieces of bruschetta. We also had two cocktails,We paid $59 we were not big girls and we were still hungry. If I were to come back it just be for the live band read more

My first meal in New Orleans was here at Three Muses. The space is appropriate for a music venue, but it's TINY for a restaurant. I really recommend you make a reservation here, otherwise you'll be waiting outside for a while since they follow max occupancy rules pretty closely. I ordered the Three Muses fries, pork belly on scallion pancake (small portion), and lamb sliders (small portion). -The fries are crazy good - imagine it as a Greek poutine. The combination of feta and lemon is tangy, and Three Muses doesn't skimp on cheese! Carbs and cheese, a beautiful combo. Side note, don't even bother with the ketchup they serve alongside. -The pork belly was ok; it had good flavor, but it was a little too tough and stringy for my taste. I thought the scallion pancake was the best part of the dish, which shouldn't have been the case for a wonderful piece of meat... -The lamb sliders have a really intense flavor. The lamb was seasoned incredibly well but not overbearingly so, and the tomato sauce on top added an acidic dimension to the richness of the patty. Really solid dish. 3 plates for 1 person was a little ambitious, but I finished everything happily (albeit it was a small struggle towards the end) - 2 plates per person is a good estimate. The music here, by the way, is excellent. If you have the time to spare, you should definitely try to catch at least one show while you eat. Depending on who plays, it'll be either excellent background music, or an awesome show that really embodies the spirit of New Orleans jazz that gets the crowd going. While the food here is good, it's the entertainment that sets it apart. read more

We really, really like this restaurant. Opens at 4 pm till ? Nice music, nice people, great staff, very mellow atmosphere and music. The food is very eclectic and inventive-- lobster rolls, crabmeat and artichoke ravioli, moules frites, Bratwurst, Korean platter, pork tenderloin-- varied and quite interesting. Most portions are tapas sized. Prices are reasonable. The bar is wonderful, and the clientele is so varied that you really can't specify any certain type of crowd-- they're all just darn nice people that go there :-) A real pleasant dining experience :-) read more

A fantastic tapas bar in the Quarter owned by Sophie, a truly talented singer and owner of Spotted Cat. The lamb sliders are a must. We liked ours so much we ordered another portion (two, but good-sized). The goat cheese blends with the lamb and carmelized onions as well as any slider or burger I've had in NYC. The carrot/cauliflower crostini is light and lovely. If you're hungry, go for the tofu bowl. And the lobster rangoons are terrific. Lighter than they sound in the menu. Good drinks, good vibes, good music. A good stop before you go on to more drinking and music for the evening. read more

I am only giving this place 3 stars because of the value of the food. We found this place because of the good reviews here on Yelp. The food was good; unfortunately, the amount that was served make you want for more. The portion size was too small for price of the meal. One of the things we order was shrimp tempura. It wasn't tempura. It was shrimp covered on panko bread crumbs deep fried served in a small cup , with no tempura sauce to be seen. It was good but it wasn't tempura. The bartender under poured my husbands Makers Whiskey and was charged $12. I was a bartender, so, I know how to pour a standard drink. We spent over $72 for 2 beers, cauliflower salad, Makers whiskey on the rocks, tempura shrimp and fish tacos. The tacos were not any bigger than 3"in diameter (it took two bite to finish them). We sat at the bar because we like to interact with the bartender and staff. Well there was none of that. They were cordial but not friendly. I would not be coming back to this place. There are so many other great place in New Orleans spend your hard earned cash. If you want to throw away your money on good over priced food with ok music then this place is for you. read more

We went here for lunch and had a great experience. The restaurant was really fun. Ambience and service were great. The waitress/bar tender was so nice and made delicious drinks. Great paintings on all the walls. The live musician was really talented and played great songs. Plus, it was in a great location on Frenchman street, with cool shops and live music venues very close by. The menu was kind of small, and several amazing dishes I found on yelp - including ravioli - were no longer offered, or only offered during dinner. However, the dishes we ordered were really good. My husband ordered lamb sliders. The lamb was seasoned and cooked well, but next time I'd ask for the red sauce on the side. It was yummy, but a bit overpowering. I had the sweet potato biscuits and sausage gravy, with poached eggs. I would eat that meal every day if I could. The biscuits were soft, had a great sweet potato taste, but not too sweet. Their gravy recipe was perfect with the biscuits. I'll definitely go back next time we are in New Orleans! read more

This place is great one of my favorite places in New Orleans but before you go please have these expectations in mind otherwise you won't like it. Also they are closed on tuesdays. 1. The will be a long wait! The larger the party the longer the wait or you may need to be split up. Ive been here 3 times in the last 6 months all on different days and here is what i found. If you go about 15-30 minutes before the band they are having for the night starts your wait will be like 20 mins, downside that can be a little early to eat. If you go on the weekend expect like a 2 hr wait. That is just how it is. its a small place with great music so the dinning tends to last longer causing longer waits. 2. The Service. If you are looking for a place where you have a waiter this is not for you. You may think this is odd you do have someone that walks around and asks you if you need anything but to order your food and drinks you walk up to the bar and tell them you table number. Place you order there then go back to your table and when its ready someone brings it out. Its a chill way to get your stuff. No need to wait around for a server or wonder where your drinks are just head to the bar and get some drinks when you feel like it. 3. There will be lots of people. Sorry this place is always packed which is great for them! Now to review... The music has always been great. The stage is tiny but they can fit a pretty big band on it. The food is good. They are very creative and i love how the menu changes. Be sure to ask what they recommend bc they will not let you down. The steak dishes are awesome. The fish tacos were great as well. I also tried the duck pastrami pizza and that was amazing an odd combination you think wouldn't work but it so did. read more

Excellent dining experience - and thats not an exaggeration. Fact - great character, good live music (night i was there - piano and standup base), great service, excellent food, and good value. Small plates - but don't let that deter, 3 plates for two was perfect, 4 if you're hungry. Highly recommend the lamb grill, brussel sprouts and fish tacos (fish is outstanding in the taco). Take a relaxing, casual, tasty and musical break from the oysters and fried food of "Bourbon" street. Trust me read more

Our favorite place in NOLA!! Lamb sliders were hands down the best, so much flavor. Also really liked the shells and cheese, falafel, and scallops!

I decided to give this place a try after checking out the menu at pretty much every place on Frenchman st. The menu really caught my attention because they have some. Interesting appetizers, fish tacos & gumbo , and also they were one of the two restaurants that had live music at the moment. It was around 7:00 pm I went in an took a seat on one of the tables on the right side right side next to the wall and in front of the stage , someone quickly approached me and told me I couldn't sit there because that table was reserved . I asked if I could sit in another table and they said no because they are reserved for people who is going to order food but I can sit at the bar if I'm only going to drink . I know it's New Orleans and most people are there for the drinks but some of us like to eat too. I told the lady I'm actually there to have dinner , and she gave me a menu . Around 20 minutes passed and no one had taken my order , other two couples arrived and they were quickly approached by a waiter ( they were on the other side , so maybe the service was quicker there ). I was about to leave but the waitress finally came , at this point I'm not sure if I want to spend much time there (because the service was bad to begin with ) so I decide to order the fish tacos only . First thing the waitress told me was "we serve really small portions" , as If I needed to lower my expectations even more . Anyway those tacos didn't disappointed , they were tasty and filling . People from tables next to mine kept asking what did I order because they also looked really good (and not small at all ) . They had a couple more things I wanted to try but I just wasn't in the mood to spend more time there and I went to a different restaurant to finish my dinner . I still think this place worths the try . It just seems like they're not use to young people flying solo. read more

They would not seat our party because we just had dinner and we were not eating, just drinking and enjoying jazz. Their door is locked so you can't go in, you have to wait until they come out and they just ignore you. This place was recommended by our hotel but it's not very welcoming. read more

My friends and I went here during Mardi Gras. Right off the bat the service was bad. We had a reservation and the table wasn't ready. We missed the small sign in the window that said to wait outside and the server inside made a big stink about us going back out and waiting, super unprofessional. We didn't see the sign and weren't intentionally waiting inside. If you have a hostess, make sure she's actually at the front ready to greet customers. Secondly, the waiter wasn't much better. He messed up an order and we were taken back by his lack of non-Southern hospitality we had seen thus far in NOLA. He rolled his eyes upon realizing the side we ordered was brought out differently than requested. They crammed 7 of us into a super tiny table that unless we had asked to be rearranged later would have made for a very uncomfortable atmosphere. Only plus was the band. A French group entered and proceeded to wait inside and not outside for over 5 min obscuring our view of the band and no server made any comment towards them. We couldn't help but think perhaps there might be some racism towards our diverse and multicultural group. Again another new experience for NOLA. Although the food was tasty, the portions were smaller than we anticipated but can't complain too hard on that. FINALLY upon asking us if our service had been good or bad (a different server approached our table probably after seeing our low tip) when we told her we would like to tell her in detail why the service was bad, she didn't care to listen to our thoughts. Therefore proving they have no intentions of learning how to improve their service. There are so many great places with the same vibe and just as good food so go elsewhere on Frenchmen is my suggestion. read more

This place was exceptional. The food was amazing and they had the best cocktail in Nola the weekend I visited. Small plates was just what we wanted for dinner as we weren't ravenous. The gumbo was superb. It had just enough kick to be flavorful, certainly not hot which I appreciated. It was perfect to share. We also had lamb sliders which were soooo tender. This was my first lamb experience so I don't have anything to compare them to, but I can say they were hearty, tender, juicy, and so so flavorful. We also tried the fried with feta and they were really nice as well. My favorite, though, were the fish tacos - definitely give those a try. The star of the show was my champagne supernova. I wanted something light and fresh - they did not disappoint! We loved this place so much that when we walked Frenchmen another night, we decided to swing by the bar and have a cocktail again. Definitely make reservations to be seated in a decent timeframe. Tables are reserved an hour and a half for dinner so the rotation shouldn't be bad though. We loved the Three Muses and we will definitely be back when we return to NOLA! read more

She gave us drink suggestion as they have speciality drinks. I ordered the strawberry cucumber martini but did not want any sugar added so she muddled fresh strwberries for me! SOOO YUM!! SHe also mixed me a Blueberry martini no sugar added but fresh blueberries! WOW WOW WOW!!!! My man had a Captain and coke and it was so strong that it made his eyes twitch! ;) We orderd Feta fries - YUM!! Flank steak flatbread - SUPER YUM/ sauce was amazing! Mac & Cheese- plain & bland - dont order this and Lobster Spring rolls - bland but a ton of Lobster & fresh veggies! Service was great and all were super friendly!! Prices are right on and wont brek the bank. Portions are great fro sharing. Music is not super loud but very much enjoyable. NO SMOKING policy which we enjoyed being from California. THIS PLACE IS A MUST WHEN IN NOLA!! THANK YOU Three Muses for a great night! read more
