I could go on and on about everyone at Napoleon House, but particularly Beth and Karen. Of all the dozens of wedding professionals we dealt with for our 150 person, complicated, multi-venue wedding during one of the biggest weekends of the year -- the NH team was by far the best. Another friend we know got married at NH and her telling us to have our reception here was the best advice we received. Our guests were blown away by the quality of service, food, and drinks that NH...not to mention the spectacular and unique backdrop of the historic building itself. Our wedding had a lot of moving parts, cultural traditions, and a picky couple (us!) but Karen and Beth took care of every last detail and ensured that we had the most beautiful, smooth, and FUN reception. I felt so at ease and cared for...it was really just the best. Our guests are still talking about it and telling us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. I agree :) DON'T HESITATE! NH IS THE BEST! Reviewed on 18-10-2023

Without question this was one of the best vendor choices we made during our wedding planning process! We hosted our rehearsal dinner here and not only is it an absolutely gorgeous and historic building with amazing food but it has THE BEST event staff ever. Every single person we worked with was so genuinely kind and thoughtful and professional. Our guest even raved about the quality of the event staff and how comfortable and welcome they made everyone. 100/10 would book again for another event! Reviewed on 19-01-2024

I don't even know where to begin with my feelings on Napoleon House - I LOVE IT SO MUCH! We used NH for our destination wedding (both ceremony and reception). I was brave (and maybe semi crazy) and booked the venue completely sight unseen - I was totally reliant on all the pictures and videos that I could find online and honestly it exceeded my expectations on arrival. Upon reaching out for our initial inquiry, we were immediately connected with Karen and Beth that are honestly a dream team. These ladies are top tier professionals and had the answer to every tiny question we had. I felt so confident going into the wedding because of all the honesty and open communication we had in the months leading up to our date. They were able to provide sample floor plans and provide suggestions that truly made the day just flow perfectly. Their vendor recommendations were excellent and I truly relied on these connections to assemble an incredible team of vendors to help make our day complete. We had 80 guests at our wedding, and used the Rosa and Pietro Rooms upstairs. Per NH's suggestion, we did a second line between ceremony and reception so the staff could have room/time to flip the space. I was hesitant on doing this at first, but I cannot recommend doing this enough - it made the event that was already special, one for the memory books! I honestly am just so pleased with my experience and cannot sing enough great praises about the entire team at the NH who helped make this event run so seamlessly. Everyone at NH are tried and true professionals, genuinely lovely people to work with, and dedicated to delivering excellent service. Last but no least, the FOOD & DRINKS!!!! It was all so good and months later, I am still getting random messages from guests about how the turkey at NH was the best they've ever had. Overall, if you're thinking about NH for a wedding or event, you cannot go wrong! 10/10 recommend and I am confident you will be in great hands! Reviewed on 10-01-2024

The team at Napoleon House was friendly, lovely and so professional. We got so many compliments about the food and service being 10/10 all night long.

Where do I begin? Did you know that when you book a wedding venue, you also book a few friends who help guide you along the way? I didn't! Beth and Karen at Napoleon House are AMAZING! We live in Philadelphia, so we planned everything from afar and put our trust in this dynamic duo. We had only visited the venue once and knew it was the perfect vibe for our wedding. We had our ceremony in the courtyard, which was flipped to our reception during our second line parade. It rained, not terribly, but enough for the team to need to make some last minute adjustments to our floor plan, etc. And we trusted them every step of the way. Our guests won't stop raving about the food, the hospitality or the overall ambiance of the venue. We knew all along we made the right choice with this venue and crew, but now that it's over and no one will stop talking about it, I'm convinced. I feel like we can call these folks family now. Can't wait to visit again for all the delicious food we didn't get to eat because we were busy dancing!Thank you!!! Reviewed on 22-11-2023

Top notch communication the entire year leading up to my reception. Beth and Karen are beyond helpful and super quick to respond with any questions I had. Upon arrival of my second line, our party host graciously greeted all of my guest and led them into the courtyard to receive welcome cocktail and start dinner service. The food was incredible. Our bartender was fun & made sure everyone had a great time. When it came time to cut our cake our host for the evening walked us through the process and made sure everyone got a slice. I could go on and on about how incredible my reception was. We visit NOLA often from Illinois and I highly recommend Napoleon House! Reviewed on 20-11-2023

We had our wedding at Napoleon House a week ago and I cannot stop thinking about it! When searching for venues in New Orleans, we were looking for a place that could take care of pretty much everything for us (tables, linens, waitstaff, food, bar etc) we just wanted to show up, get married, and party, and Napoleon House definitely answered that call. We didn’t even need much in way of decor aside from florals and centerpieces so it was a great choice for our destination wedding. Karen and Beth from the sales team were AMAZING to work with and were great with communication, always responding promptly and taking the time to answer my millions of questions that popped up in the year and a half from booking our date to actually walking down the aisle. They use a dedicated portal for communication and looped my coordinator into everything as well so it was all seamless. They even let me design the chair arrangement for our ceremony which I appreciated.The staff the day of was so wonderful, the bridal party was waited on in the back room by Josh who was so thoughtful and had plenty of water and snacks as we worked up to the ceremony and then waited for the reception. As we had our ceremony and reception in the same space, the staff flipped the space during cocktail hour faster than expected, leading us to start our reception almost 15 minutes early which was pretty cool. (I guess I could have used the time to take more photos but they had pulled aside appetizers for cocktail hour for the bride and groom so we was busy eatin’ and enjoying)My guests are still raving about the food and drinks. My friends that work service industry said it was definitely the best Pimms cup they have ever had and a bunch of our guests went back the next day to get full size muffulettas. I was really pleased with the assortment of appetizers and entrees I could choose from when setting my menu it allowed me to have a nice variety for my guests to try some great New Orleans fare. I felt the pricing was fair as well per person for the buffet style menus and we had a ton of food left over that they sent back with the bride and groom which we were thankful to dig into after the festivities. We had a wedding on the smaller side (54 guests and on a Sunday) but Napoleon House treated our affair as if we were a huge event and made us feel so special. I could not have picked a better venue, my guests and I will be talking about the venue space, food and hospitality for years. Reviewed on 13-11-2023

We had our wedding day at the Napoleon House in September of 2023 in the Courtyard/Emperors room. This was a destination wedding for us and our guests- with that being said we have never visited New Orleans and only seen pictures of the Napoleon House from online photo's and Instagram. We loved what we saw online it was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. As a destination wedding and never seeing the place in person as a bride that could be a little intimidating/stressful. But our experience was the opposite, both Beth and Karen were amazing with responding to my MANY emails and were great with providing pictures when I needed a visual. We had the most perfect day, the venue truly out did themselves and the food was so delicious- our guests still rave about the food! Everyone who worked the day of our wedding was amazing and made us feel like we were royalty. If you are thinking about booking the Napoleon House, you will not regret it! Thank you so much again, and we cannot wait to come back in the future. Reviewed on 26-10-2023

Our experience with Napolean House was fantastic. The evening went better than I was even hoping for. The food was absolutely perfect. Everyone talked about how good it was! The rooms are gorgeous without even adding decorations ,however they have many candle holders, battery operated candles, vases, platters, bowls in a back room that you are welcome to use to decorate the tables and mantels. Karen and Beth answered ALL of my questions in a timely manner and yes I had quite a few! The bartender and Josh ( in charge of the evening ) were spectacular. The bartender made great drink suggestions when you weren’t sure what you wanted and Josh is very good at what he does and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I even gave him a big hug at the end of the night. I highly recommend Napolean House! You won’t be disappointed! Reviewed on 06-10-2023

We had a Welcome Party upstairs to kick off our wedding weekend in New Orleans (New Year's Eve weekend). The Napoleon House has always been one of our favorite places–our first date in New Orleans was there–and there could not have been a more perfect place to kick off our wedding weekend and introduce our out-of-town guests to the city. It was the quintessential New Orleans experience and many guests commented that our welcome party was better than some wedding receptions they’d been to! Working with Beth to plan the event was a joy and such a breeze. Everyone raved about the food–especially the fried catfish. We loved having a Pimm’s Cup for guests at the entrance as a welcome drink, the bar was fabulous, and the champagne tower was a brilliant way to get the party started. The ambiance was perfect and captured the effortless elegance that is New Orleans’s trademark. Many of our local Louisiana friends and family were also blown away by the upstairs rooms, which they hadn’t had the opportunity to enjoy before, and loved taking the party out to the balcony! And as a special touch, Beth also put some of the Napoleon House holiday bell ribbon necklaces aside for our guests, which was a festive keepsake that everyone loved. We were jingling through the Quarter all night!Photos by James Shaw Photography. Jazz Trio: Harry Hardin Reviewed on 11-06-2023

Being an out-of-town bride I did lots of research to find the perfect wedding venue. It was a little nerve-wracking to book a reception venue all over FaceTime, but the Napoleon House blew my expectations out of the water! We have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience with the Napoleon House! The staff was absolute perfection! The banquet captain was one of the most professional, friendly, and accommodating people I have ever worked with (and I am a form wedding planner). This man deserves all the praise. I would highly recommend the Pimm's Cup as guests come in; such a great touch. Flow of the evening was perfect thanks to the staff's help. The food was fine dining level, AMAZING! After the cake cutting, they even washed our knife set and champagne glasses. I cannot hype up the level of detail and service enough! This is a must-book location if you are looking for a 5-star experience in the French Quarter. Service + Food + Price + Overall Experience, I would recommend over and over again. We truly appreciate everything the Napoleon House did to make it a night to remember! Reviewed on 07-06-2023

Beth, Karen and the rest of the staff were incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process and helped us to find an optimal floor plan, allowing us to do several walkthroughs of the location, for our buyout of the restaurant to make the most of our event. The bartenders were super quick and efficient, allowing our guests to get drinks without ever building up a line. They were also incredibly friendly and remembered peoples drink orders making the service even faster. The venue itself was beautiful, and well maintained. The party captains made sure that everything on the day of went according to plan and made sure to check in with us to ensure we had everything we needed. Personally, one of our favorite things was the availability of the a room for us to eat dinner together privately after the ceremony without the hustle and bustle of the party going on. The amazing Party Captain, Josh, got us plates of all of the food items, an assortment of the passed hors d'oeuvres, and drinks for us to enjoy.

During the planning of the event, Beth and Karen were extremely accommodating and helpful with questions and planning a menu tasting event, which took a concerted effort since our son and future daughter in law were living in Miami still. The menu tasting was an absolute success and I highly recommend anyone considering the Napolean House to do this!! You will not only be able to sample the most popular dishes paired with wines, but you will also get to experience the ambiance of the dining room, tour the restaurant, view the balconies, and meet some of their amazing staff! We truly had a wonderful experience during the tasting & the future bride and groom could not wait for the rehearsal dinner. We are also so very grateful for the time Karen took upfront planning with us to make the event successful. She and I stayed in touch on menu details, headcount, decor I wanted to utilize they had, as well as outside decor I wanted to bring in. Without her time and attention to every single detail, the dinner could not have been more perfect!Once the big evening came, our dinner captain, Josh, helped us with setting up the rooms so we could get ready for the rehearsal.

Alexa Jeffrey(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-03-2023 I cannot recommend the Napoleon House enough! The Napoleon House is one of our favorite restaurants in the French Quarter, but my husband and I had never seen the upstairs when we booked the NH. We planned our whole wedding from across the country and never had a chance to visit the space. When we walked in to our reception, it took my breath away how absolutely perfect everything was. NH has Pimms Cups waiting for all of our guests upon arrival, so there was no overcrowding at the bars. Our guests loved the balconies and the dance floor was exactly the right size. We had about 92 guests, and the space certainly could have fit another 20 comfortably. I was worried about doing \"Reception Style\" seating since we had a second line and I didn't want all my guests to have sore feet. However, half our guests went straight to the balconies while the other half went for the food stations right away. Nobody was ever without a seat when they wanted one. I highly recommend this venue and our DJ Jack Magic. Half my family did not leave the dance floor the entire night because the music was just too damn good! I also highly recommend our wedding planner (Katie West) who was extraordinary, and our ceremony venue (The Pharmacy Museum) which was incredibly unique and beautiful. Reviewed on 18-04-2023

Hailey Jones(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-02-2023 We cannot speak highly enough of our experience working with Beth and Karen at The Napoleon House, and having our reception in a building so meaningful to us and rooted in New Orleans history was very special. For starters, Beth and Karen are incredibly organized and responsive – we talked to several location sites before deciding on the Napoleon House and that’s what stuck out to us the most. They were also very upfront about cost and staff/building capabilities, so we never felt that they were pulling one over on us or having to read through fine print to get the full picture (again, something that stuck out based on conversations we had with other locations). Their vendor list is incredible – we pretty much went with every suggestion they sent our way and we couldn’t be happier with the turnout. The atmosphere of the Napoleon House is incredibly romantic and beautiful which helped in decoration costs (i.e. minimal) as there’s really not much that needed to be added. Furthermore, the team had a large amount of items we would have had to rent otherwise (chairs, linens, tables, etc.) and were willing to get creative with our ideas to use other resources they had on hand. Absolutely cannot fail to mention how good the food is – we went with buffet station style and all of our guests visiting from out of town were amazed by the quality, it was a great showcase of New Orleans cuisine and they were also creative with putting together a selection of late night snacks for our guests. Finally, the staff was super friendly and helpful for all of our guests and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time. We felt so confident with the run of show on the day of the wedding because Beth and Karen took such care of us throughout the planning process and were patient, thorough, and kind with answering all of our questions about how to pull off a destination wedding. 10/10 customer service, hospitality, food, and ambiance – we highly recommend having your wedding here!

Selecting great food was a big deal to us, so we were thrilled.

Katie Craft(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2022 I could not have dreamed up a better place for our wedding. My husband and I were originally supposed to get married on 9/17/21. We had to cancel two weeks out due to Hurricane Ida. We were devastated. The staff at Napoleon House were completely understanding and honored our original contract, helping us a secure the same day a year out. Beth and Karen were amazing to work with. They were responsive and gave plenty of great suggestions to me, the bride who knows nothing about the wedding industry. We had 77 guests, all of them from out of town. This was an amazing venue to introduce our loved ones to everything we love about New Orleans. The food was incredible. The space is BEAUTIFUL. On the day of our wedding, our Captain, Josh, was the epitome of kind and professional. He kept us on schedule and even set my husband and I up with a private table in the back so we could try all of our food and have a moment alone together. So many of our guests said this was the best wedding they've ever been to. If you love historic buildings, fantastic food, top-notch service and unbelievable affordability, book Napoleon House!

Andrew, Phillip and team were so attentive - plus they had fabulous music they had playing when we arrived. The desserts were just right and cheese/meat/fruit station beautifully displayed.. Bartenders introduced many to Pimms Cups and Sazeracs. And the best part - this was all planned via text and email. We have received so many compliments - many thought it was the highlight of the weekend. So do we. Thanks Beth and Alex. We made a Nola memory for sure. I need another excuse for a party.

Megan Obsta(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-10-2019 Napoleon House was so great to work with. We wanted a spot in the French Quarter to host a brunch the day after our wedding. I was so occupied with planning the actual wedding, I put zero effort into the brunch. The staff at Napoleon House managed to execute a perfect event none the less! The location was great as it allowed our guests to explore the French quarter afterwards. The food was outstanding (omelette bar, French Toast, eggs, biscuits, fruit, and bacon). We also offered bloody Mary’s and mimosas and they were so good! I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone Reviewed on 07-10-2019
Emily Arble(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-03-2019 I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Napoleon House!!! We had a destination wedding and Alex and Beth were wonderful to work with! We held our wedding ceremony in the outdoor Courtyard area and our reception in the upstairs space. Beth and Alex were EXTREMELY easy to communicate with and would always respond to my emails within minutes! The venue was very reasonably priced and made every effort to make our dream a reality from the food to the decor to the layout of the space to the little details. The space itself is absolutely beautiful and has so much history and character that there wasn't much decor needed. All of the tables, chairs, linens etc. were all included which also helped to cut down on cost. One of the most wonderful things about Napoleon House is the FOOD, the food was out of this world! Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was! The waitstaff on the day of was also wonderful, the bartenders were awesome and made sure the drinks (especially the Pimm's cups) kept flowing all night! Leading up to the big day my husband and I were lucky enough to be able to make a trip to New Orleans and have a food tasting and oh my goodness everything we tasted was delish (pro tip make sure you go to the food tasting very hungry because you will want to try everything!) We really can't say enough good things about this venue, everything was absolutely perfect and I am so glad we held our big day at Napoleon House! Thank you for everything Napoleon House, Beth and Alex!! Reviewed on 05-09-2019
Lynn Boese(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-07-2019 Perfect Small Wedding & DinnerGorgeous, historic venue. Ideal location and floor plan for a small wedding ceremony and reception/dinner. Excellent food and service. These folks really went out of their way to make our evening perfect. Even with an impending hurricane, all staff showed up, didn't rush us, and was as pleasant as could be. Reviewed on 30-07-2019
Kimberly Ferrari(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-07-2019 We had both our ceremony and reception at Napoleon House and it turned out perfect. The venue is so charming by itself and they have almost everything you’ll need from linens to candles and cake stands, plus the food was delicious! Working with Alex at NH made wedding planning so much easier - she got all the details down so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I couldn’t recommend Napoleon House enough! Reviewed on 25-07-2019
Alysse Reams(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2019 Napoleon House was kind and professional. The two Sales Coordinators were upfront with pricing and then endlessly patient with helping us generate a menu. To be honest, that was the most intimidating part to me, and they worked to help us brainstorm and ensure we were in budget and were able to feed 90 people. It was all a dream! Reviewed on 24-07-2019
Holly Wiggins(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-04-2019 We planned a destination wedding in New Orleans and the Napoleon House was the perfect place for our wedding reception! Beth and Alex were so responsive and helpful at getting all of the details just right for our day. Although they are definitely more accustomed to cocktail-style receptions, they were willing to work with us to have a seated dinner for our reception. They sent over several floor plan options and were so detailed with all of our emails. The seated option ended up being perfect for us and our 50ish guests. The evening ran so smoothly and the wait staff were incredibly attentive. The food was SO good. Our guests loved the French Quarter balconies and the whole place was beautiful. It's in a nice location that was easily walkable from a large number of French Quarter hotels. I can't recommend the Napoleon House enough! Reviewed on 04-07-2019
Elisabeth Altazan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-06-2019 We hosted our wedding at the Napoleon House on June 1 and it was perfect! Working with Beth and Alex was a dream-they made everything so easy, provided lots of guidance, and were super easy to contact throughout our whole year of planning. We used the upstairs rooms for our 90 guest cocktail-style wedding, and it was the perfect amount of space for both seating and lots of dancing. The wait staff was so attentive and made sure we had our own table and were able to eat the wonderful food--which our guests raved about! Aside from the space being beautiful, the history, and the classic New Orleans cuisine; Napoleon House was also the most reasonably priced venue we looked at! I can't recommend hosting your wedding here enough! Reviewed on 17-06-2019
Kristin L(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-04-2019 My husband and I recently got married in New Orleans for a destination wedding. After visiting several venues, we chose to have our reception at Napoleon House. We couldn’t be happier with our choice!! Alex and Beth were so wonderful to work with, and made the whole process incredibly easy. Alex even coordinated a food tasting for us during one of our visits back to New Orleans (which was amazing by the way). During the reception, the staff and service was outstanding- and our guests were raving about the food all night! Reviewed on 04-05-2019
Laura Cushman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-04-2019 We loved Napoleon House and the team there make it so special. If you are looking for a venue with excellent service, amazing food and having a stress free event, look no further. Honestly Beth and Alex are amazing. A lot of venues we saw are quite prescriptive on how events run and are set up, but they were super flexible at the Napoleon House and really let you bring your vision to life. We even extended our reception by 1 hour the week of the wedding and they just easily made the changes. Would definitely recommend! Thank you to Napoleon House and team for an awesome wedding!

Kaitlin McClain(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-03-2019 This is the perfect New Orleans venue! The ambience is breathtaking, especially if you can access the balconies upstairs. The food was delicious and the portions were perfect. Alex and Beth were always available to chat with questions and problem solving during our planning. Phillip was the perfect captain during our event, always checking on people and anticipating our needs. I cannot thank them enough for helping make our wedding festivities perfect. I would definitely work with them again for a NOLA event! Reviewed on 23-04-2019
Marie B(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-02-2019 I could not recommend Napoleon House more highly. Beth and Alex and the staff there made my reception beautiful, unique and stress free. They readily gave advice and were easily contactable and responsive. They went above and beyond to help with anything I needed. And the venue is so uniquely New Orleans. It was a great treat for the visiting guests. It was a perfect evening. Reviewed on 06-03-2019
Eleta Andrews(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-02-2019 Napoleon House was so incredibly perfect. Alex, their sales coordinator, was an absolute dream to work with. She was so communicative, flexible, kind, and helpful. She had an answer and solution to every question I had! We did a tasting a few months before our wedding and were blown away by the quality of the food and service. Everyone who works at Napoleon House is professional, knowledgeable, and a class act. We had both our ceremony and reception in the courtyard, and it was so romantic and fun! The string lights, brick walls, and lush greenery made for the perfect backdrop for our vows. The food was--hands down--the best wedding food I've ever had, and our guests agreed! All of the passed apps were hot and crispy, and the buffet line was beautifully laid out and super delicious. The party captain and staff were busily refilling food, but still faded into the background discreetly. We did a second line in between the ceremony and reception, and when we came back, the space was completely reset and ready for our reception. It was magical! The space and food were such high quality, and Napoleon House is also incredibly affordable. Our wedding with 50 people was the perfect fit here. Cannot recommend enough! Reviewed on 18-02-2019
Katie-lauren Guell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-12-2018 I cannot rave about Napoleon House enough. Our wedding was unbelievable and just such a good time. Beth was wonderful and we loved having her input. We mainly worked with Alex and she was a dream. The planning was easy. She always made herself available to meet with me whenever I was in town. She coordinated us for our arrival to the venue well into the reception and helped to set us at ease and make sure everything went off without a hitch. She has a fantastic attitude and a sharp attention to detail. I never doubted that she had everything completely under control and I was completely stress free during planning and the day of. Thanks so so much Alex! The venue is gorgeous. It speaks for itself and we didn’t feel like we needed to add much to the space because it is already so beautiful. The doors to the balconies were open during our reception and it was a beautiful night. Nola serves as the perfect backdrop for a wedding! The food was phenomenal!!!! We had an awesome tasting a few months prior and left feeling so full! 😂 We could not decide on our menu! Everything was so delicious. Our guests are still raving about the food and I highly recommend the bruschetta and alligator sausage. Guests raved about the catfish. And..... the shrimp and grits..... you are failing in life if you do not have it on the menu. It is to die for!!! The bar was amazing. Pimms cups are delicious and all of our guests were very happy with their mixed drinks. Servers were so friendly and fun. Kristi and I had our own personal waitress that evening and she was awesome. She made two big plates for us to be able to eat before going back out to our reception. We never had an empty drink. She was very attentive. The champagne was flowing and I loved it! We had around 115 guests and the room was definitely full, but it totally worked. Everyone had room to dance and have fun. It was intimate and I liked that people couldn’t get away from the group. It kept everyone engaged, dancing, drinking and having fun. My guests are telling me it’s the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to and I believe them. One guest said they’d come to Napoleon House every single year if we want to keep renewing our vows. 😂 The venue is just the best. We will definitely continue to host events and parties at Napoleon house throughout the years. Only thing I wish is that I could live the night all over again. Reviewed on 05-01-2019
Few places capture the essence of New Orleans like the Napoleon House: A 200 year old landmark that's as casual and unique as its French Quarter surroundings. Owned and operated by the Impastato family since 1914 and Ralph Brennan since May of 2015, it's a place that suspends you in time, where you can hear Beethoven's Eroiqua, which he composed for Napoleon, and the music of other classical masters, while sipping a Pimm's Cup, and basking in an ambiance that could only be New Orleans.
