Reviews
"Excellent food (we went for the Jazz It Up A Little! banquet) and the live trio really brought the NOLA vibe. The courses were well spaced and portioned for two people, and was a great recommendation from the waitperson. I just wish it was a little more busy, that would’ve really helped the atmosphere more."
"I recently celebrated my birthday at the Moldy Fig with dinner and drinks and what a special way to celebrate! The food was delicious and I wanted to try it all, the variety of drinks was interesting and paired beautifully with the food, and the music was delightful. A wonderful atmosphere, great serving staff and very knowledgeable about their cuisine. I was impressed with the amount of vegan friendly food on the menu as well as how easily they were able to adapt many of the items to suit my dietary requirements. Thanks for a great night!!!"
"We checked out this spot on a Wednesday for their Po' Boy deal, a classic New Orleans sandwich. Unfortunately, I found the sandwiches to be somewhat underwhelming. They were overstuffed (which might be intentional) which made them difficult to eat. The fried chicken pieces were too big and lacked the expected crispy crunch. The bread wasn't quite as crispy on the outside and soft on the inside as I had hoped, and the overall flavor profile was a bit muted. Okay overall, but I was hoping for that perfect combination of texture and bold flavors that I just didn't get. We also ordered the Louisiana Red Beans and Rice, which was a bit too heavy and had an overly tomato paste-y taste. Despite these shortcomings, the food was good value, and the friendly service and live music created a great atmosphere inside. While I wasn't blown away this time, I'm willing to give it another chance in the future"
"We had actually gone to The Moldy Fig to hear some friends playing in the band. But the real surprise was experiencing a new cuisine, deliciously expressed and served by very friendly and helpful staff. We’ll be back because we want to explore that menu – and to support a venue that supports live music!"
"Loved this place so much! As a vegetarian it's great to have so many options available, particularly as part of the banquets. Great atmosphere and will definitely be back."
