It's got a decidedly New Orleans feel -- even a sign across the street advertises ''The French Quarter.'' From the two-story layout to the massive windows overlooking Church Street, The House of Jazz channels the style of the Big Easy without going kitsch. The downstairs dining area's mood-mellowing jewel tones and jazz-themed paintings are the right backdrop for romance when you meet your first bite of Carolina Crabcakes. Yeah -- that's love.

Upstairs, the bar scene is cheerful and inclusive due to either the small but well-designed space or the preponderance of specialty martinis crowding the tall cocktail tables. Local jazz bands as well as national acts work this friendly room that gets the musicians up close and personal with the uptown professionals who circle the second-floor lounge. After work the ladies meet for cocktails and the 411, while weekends heat up the crowd with late-night creamy crawfish-and-sausage dip with a side of smooth jazz.
