Nocturne
An evening, composed — candlelit dining in the heart of the French Quarter.

The Nocturne experience
A slow evening of Creole craft and quiet jazz. Oysters glinting on crushed ice, a wine list read by candlelight, and a kitchen that treats every plate like the last note of a song.
The dining room at dusk
Since 1998
A room built for the evening
Brass, velvet, and low gold light. A corner stage where the trio plays from seven. Nocturne was made for long dinners, good wine, and the kind of night you don't want to end.

“An evening at Nocturne is less a dinner than a performance. The redfish alone is worth the journey.”
“Candlelight, a slow jazz trio, and the finest étouffée in the city. We didn't want the night to end.”
“Impeccable service and a wine list that reads like poetry. Our new anniversary tradition.”
