Jazz Brunch
at the St. Francisville Inn
Saturday, November 14, 2026 | 11 am – 2 pm | $225
A lyrical lunchtime feast at the spectacular St. Francisville Inn! This multi-course jazz brunch begins in the courtyard with cocktails, passed hors d'oeuvres, select wines, and spirited Dixieland jazz by New Orleans' famous Tom Fischer Trio. The celebration continues in the Inn's dining rooms, where a refined, multi-course brunch menu will be served by Executive Chef Michael Dardenne.
“For me, designing a dish is very similar to being a musician. If you ask a musician how they write a great song, they might say that they struggle with it and write bits and pieces over a long period of time, or they might bang out a hit off the top of their head based off a little bit of inspiration, and suddenly they’ve written a masterpiece. That’s definitely happened to me—many of my best specials come from off-the-cuff ideas.
—Chef Michael Dardenne
