Private Parties and Receptions
[ The Bourbon Room ] [ Dauphine Room ] [ St. Louis Room ]

Banquet rooms are located on the second floor of our wonderful building. As many as twelve people can dine privately in the Dauphine Room, or by combining all three connecting rooms we can accommodate up to forty-five of your guests for dinner or cocktail parties.

In our cocktail party configuration a bar is set up in the Bourbon Street Room and we open up the Dauphine and St. Louis Room to allow your guests to mix. Hors Doeuvres and light food can be pre-ordered to accompany your beverages. Please consult with our catering director for suggestions to make your private party an event to remember. Ask for Jay Loomis at 504-522-6440.

For parties of twenty or more (up to 45) we suggest pre-ordering 3 - 4 entrees from our special catering menu of Petunia's specialties and local favorites, our catering staff can help you select your menu when you make your reservations.
