Best Live Music Restaurants in Carrollton

Beautiful restaurant! It’s what we expected for Ritz Carlton. Food was great. We had the NOLA salad, shrimp and grits and the gulf snapper, all delicious! They sat us in a cozy, private dining area at the back of the restaurant, which was perfect for our family gathering. The live jazz in the lounge area in front of the restaurant was a wonderful added touch! Service was a little on the slow side. I had to get up and get a couple of things myself like I worked there. Other than that we enjoyed ourselves and will return.

Warm and helpful service. Food and drinks were delectable. The Jazz Bistro trio was delightful.

The food was great, particularly the charred oysters and the flavorful soups – the turtle soup and both gumbos were exceptional. Our service was awesome, with Bree and our head server (captain) providing attentive and friendly service. The main restaurant itself is undeniably elegant, perhaps even a touch over-the-top (OCD staff and hovering), but acceptable.

We had a reservation for three and we’re seated on-time in the main dining room. We started off with cocktails and the Waygu Beer Carpaccio dish with beets. The appetizer was absolutely delicious with the acid of the beets nicely pairing with the flavors of the thinly sliced Waygu beef… the dish was topped with fried shallots that provided a nice texture as well as additional flavor profiles. Our second course was the Turtle Soup. The soup was absolutely delicious with pulled meat in the dish along with a nice amount of dry sherry… we had the same soup the night before at Commander’s and Atchafalaya made this dish much better!!! For the meal, I had the pan seared Gulf fish. The fish was prepared to perfection… my husband and father had the Duck Confit which was as also perfectly done. The wait staff was wonderful… they kept the water glasses and wine glasses full and offered insightful comments on the menu items. Overall the meal was fantastic… the ambience and noise level were great… we were able to enjoy a meal together with a wonderful conversation even my father with hearing aides was able to hear the conversation and participate! I highly recommend Atchafalaya for that special meal or just a night out with the girls… you will love your meal and experience.

One of our favorite places to eat! Stone crabs were in season and that was also a treat! The steaks came out a bit early but they assisted us with warming them to perfection without overcooking them! The atmosphere was festive for the holidays and although we ate at a high top in the bar, it wasn’t a disappointment at all! The pianist played while we were there and overall made for a great evening!
