Join us for a Live Jazzy Brunch Affair at Dauphine's!

Step into the heart of New Orleans at Dauphine's, the Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant where Creole cooking meets souldful sounds from The Hot Mess Ensemble.

Indulge in a delectable brunch menu featuring Creole dishes, sip on Creole-spiced Bloody Marys, chicory espresso martinis or Hurricane -style mimosas, and let the smooth jazz tunes transport you to the vibrant streets of New Orleans.

Whether you're a jazz aficionado or just looking for a fun way to enjoy Sunday brunch, this event promises to be an enjoyable gathering!

Washingtonian:

The pandemic silenced jazz brunches, but now bands are striking up again. Here is a place where the music bops, cocktails are cool and plates are popping. The Big Easy comes to life at this swank downtown restaurant showcasing Chef Douglas Alexander's creative Creole cooking.

What to Order: Go with hearty Southern-minded classics: Calabrian-chili-and maple glazed fried chicken and waffles; French toast with a bananas-Foster twist; or blackened catfish on a bed of grits.

Michelin:

The old adage "Never judge a book by its cover" couldn't be more apt for this operation, which seems a most unlikely candidate for "serious food." It's vast and spread over three levels, but when you're seated in that perfect nook full of pretty people and tantalizing cocktails you'll start to get the drift.

There is no denying the staff's skill, as they prepare a delicious tapestry of New Orleans dishes—with zero fuss and maximum flavor. Make a hearty start with fresh-baked bread and cultured Poirier’s cane butter. Then dive into a platter of silky oysters Dauphine, tailed by blackened soft-shell crab with creamed Prairie Ronde rice. Carry on carb loading at dessert with dark chocolate crémeux and vanilla rice pudding—you won't be sorry.

We ask that ALL folks honor their RSVP. If you are unable to attend after sending in a YES, please update your status so that others may join. In the event our group incurs a fee for no-shows / late cancellations, your ability to RSVP for future events will be restricted. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

To enhance the opportunity for great conversation, we would like to keep the group small. Please feel free to sign-up to meet us along with up to 2 friends.

In the future, we will vary the days of the week and the types of restaurants so that we can attract many different types of diners. Feel free to make suggestions for future meet locations. All diners will pay their own tab.

** The small non-refundable registration fee helps us share the cost associated with the Meet-Up platform ($360/yr) and reduces the likelihood of no-shows, allowing us to better plan our events and accommodate all participants. Meetup charges $0.51 and Paypal charges $0.53 on the $2 registration fee. Thanks in advance for your understanding!**

If you are unable to join us in July we hope you'll stay interested and join us for a meal in the future. Looking forward to catching up with you for a jazz brunch at Dauphine's!
