Lumiere Blues & Jazz Bistro

Unimpressed with the lunch special.. offering was hamburger steak ( noted as a menu item at 10oz) the one I received couldn't have been any larger than 6oz.. looked like a thicker child's burger, mashed potatoes ( scoop smaller than the burger patty) green peas, the large cheaper ones. The peas seemed to have poured straight from the can, no sign of any cooking, seasoning or love. The meal in its entirety lacked any home cooking attention or effort. Price was $12... while this could be considered a good price, all things need be considered. For me, a lunch special advertised out front of a restaurant, is the pinnacle draw to entice/ welcome people to come on in, have a seat and enjoy a meal prepared with love and care. It should be a small representation of the entire menu offering..( if you like this ...you should come back and try....... ! On your next visit) Service, was minimal, drink orders taken as the menus were placed, orders taken upon drink delivery. Food served timely. Then the wait began... we finished our meals and waited... for about 5 minutes there were no waitstaff to be seen in the dining area, and never did get an offer of drink refills. Finally ( another 10 minutes) attracted the attention of one of the waitstaff ( not ours) asked for and received our bill. Paid the bill then we were offered drinks to go.. I loved this place, under its former marquee, local home cooking at it heart... sad to see it go this way. I'm sure to give it another chance at some point, but sure to shy away from the " Lunch Special" and look to the menu offerings. Come on Folks.. keep the little place with so much ambiance alive... bring back the love to the pots n pans..

I received great customer service. The bar area is very upscale looking. There is an outdoor seating area that seems very well thought out even though I didn't utilize it. The food was reasonably priced and tasty. I will definitely return.

Renee ordered the stuffed flounder. I had the Caesar salad with chicken grilled. My O my. Flounder was fresh, moist and tender. Stuffing was very tasty shrimp and crab.The grilled chicken was also moist, tender and tasty. The maitre de Benjamin Bunn was especially helpful and recommended the 'made in house' carrot cake. Never have we had any so good!!

I absolutely love this place. The food and atmosphere is so great. Lumiere is a hidden gem everyone should try them out.

From the ambiance to the food Luminere Blues & Jazz Bistro has what you looking for. The front door greeting is as warm as the bread pudding. The appetizers are delicious and the entrees are on point! Try the spinach and artichoke dip to start. Then have a fried shrimp or roast beef poboy. Looking for something different the lasagna roll ups or the hamburger steak with a fluffy baked potato will fill your hunger. Finish the night with a great dessert! It's fun, it's family friendly and it's fabulous food!! They definitely have me hooked!

Most amazing whole fried flounder. Sides of Mac n cheese and red beans delish as well. I had the grilled chicken and shrimp kabobs. Nicely seasoned. Hubs and papa both had fish. Both want to come back tomorrow!!!! Slow with drink refills but otherwise good service at busy lunch time and nice character to old building on bayou side. Bet music on patio nice when cool evening.

No lie the food is good. Seafood stuffed potato is amazing, the red beans & rice are good too & the potato salad taste like somebody grandma out the 40's made it. Only gripe I have is it took almost 1 & a half hrs (72 minutes to be precise) for the food to arrive, crazy because it's only 4 tables here with patrons at the moment. To boot, after our prolonged wait food arrived warmish. 4.5 stars on the food taste, 2.5 stars on prep time & 2 stars on quality (only because it took so long to arrive cold). All in all, I'd give em another chance.

Happy we tried this place! Server was pleasant, atmosphere relaxed and food was great.
