History

Established in 2001.

Reimagined in 2023, Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio brings a vibrant California-fresh energy and approach to our menu, dining spaces, and outdoor patios, while staying true to the heart of New Orleans. The updated concept and design intentionally weave in California's light and inviting vibe, drawing inspiration from the vibrant sunsets on the Gulf and Pacific coasts. Each dining room showcases a unique story, color palette, and decoration. Outdoor patios are lush, shaded and inviting - the perfect perch for people watching. Chef Darrin Finkel’s all-day menu features New Orleans fan favorites and coastal cuisine highlighting fresh, grilled Gulf and Pacific seafood, meats, and vegetables. The contemporary menu pairs perfectly with an expanded wine list from California vintners, and seasonal, seaside-style cocktails. Evenings, the dining experience is enhanced with a strolling live ensemble playing multiple genres of jazz.
