Located right in the heart of Downtown Disney, Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen serves the finest Louisiana ingredients throughout its menus. The building is a “two-story replica of traditional French Quarter architecture which includes a ground floor, interior, open-air courtyard flanked by a quick service dining facility (Creole Cafe) and a New Orleans-style jazz club (Flambeaux\u2019s).\u00a0 Upstairs in the Carnival Club you\u2019ll find traditional New Orleans dining rooms and an outdoor \u2018Jazz balcony\u2019 with seating that overlooks the revelry of Downtown Disney.”<\/span><\/p>\n

I have visited RB Jazz Kitchen and attended an open house mixer before, but I hadn’t met Mr. Ralph Brennan (pictured below left) until now. He is such a southern gentleman. Despite his success, he remains so humble and down to earth. It was also great to see Mr. Bruno Duarte (pictured below right), Sales & Special Events Manager, again.\u00a0\"\"If you’ve been here, you know the music is part of RB Jazz Kitchen culture. We were greeted with delicious cocktails and a live Jazz band (Amanda Castro Band) and Blues Guitarist\/Singer, Brother Yuself.\u00a0\"\"The open house mixer was an opportunity for everyone to experience RB Jazz Kitchen’s catering service and event spaces. I must say, everything I’ve tried was extraordinary and the staff was always professional and courteous.<\/p>\n

There were so many delicious tray-passed appetizers!
\n\"\"Muffaletta Skewers<\/strong> ~ Ham, Salami, Mortadella, Provolone Cheese (GF).\u00a0\"\"Mini Chicken & Waffle Sliders<\/strong> with Maple Syrup (pictured above top) was my favorite and Fried Okra<\/strong> (pictured above bottom).<\/p>\n

\"\"Oyster Rockefeller<\/strong> and\u00a0Seafood Gazpacho<\/strong> in Tasting Cups (GF).\u00a0\"\"Buffalo Oyster<\/strong>s were light and crunchy. I dare you to just eat one. Impossible! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\"\"Everyone was so impressed with the Shrimp Cocktail<\/strong> Boat!\u00a0\"\"Mac & Cheese<\/strong> with Andouille\u00a0Sausages<\/strong> or Crawfish<\/strong>. But guess what? I mixed both. \ud83d\ude09\"\"Clams with White Wine Reduction<\/strong> and Mussels with Red Wine Reduction\u00a0<\/strong>served with Garlic Toast<\/strong>. My goodness, these were exceptionally fresh and tasty!<\/p>\n

I was most intrigued by the Martini Salad station <\/strong>where I picked all the ingredients I wanted for the salad and they shook it in a martini mixer. I loved the salad mix I created which went perfectly with the carved Prime Rib<\/strong>.\u00a0\"\"Of course no meal is ever complete without desserts!\"\"The famous\u00a0Beignets,<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0a New Orleans classic,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>French donuts deep fried and topped with powdered sugar. There was also Cotton Candy which made me feel like a kid again.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Bananas Foster<\/span>, another c<\/span>lassic New Orleans dessert of bananas, brown sugar, rum and banana liqueur, over vanilla bean ice cream. Flambeed table-side for two!<\/p>\n

There are several event facilities available for parties of 16 all the way up to 600 guests.\u00a0The Flambeaux<\/strong> dining room resounds with the excitement of a New Orleans style Jazz Club. The\u00a0open-air\u00a0Courtyard<\/strong>, complete with a whimsical fountain, takes you back to French Quarter. The Wine Room<\/strong>\u00a0is perfect for an intimate gathering. The Parlor Room<\/strong> is whimsical New Orleans style meets casual-fine dining. Want to see the fireworks from Disneyland? The the Jazz Balcony<\/strong> is where you want to be. The Queen’s Room<\/strong> is filled with unique character\u00a0depicting the exuberance of Mardi Gras season in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Next time when you are planning a private or corporate event, give RB Jazz Kitchen a call. They now also offer off-site catering as well. From festive decorations to flavor-filled menus, they will create an ultimate experience for you and your guests.<\/p>\n
