Officially and for the record, the internationally opulent, multi-chambered wing of the House of Blues is members-only. But this is Showboat. If you’re recently bathed, reasonably groomed, and relatively well-dressed, you can most likely get by the entryway sentries. Once you’re in, prepare to be duly impressed by the private and lounge-y “prayer rooms,” the antique Buddhas, the Indian wall coverings, the luxuriously laid-back service—and young Andre Jacquet’s world cuisine. Chef stuffs veal chops with leeks and brie, dresses sea bass with caper berries and lemon brown butter, and delivers delightful nibbles in the form of truffled gnocchi, delicate beef carpaccio, and crab spring rolls. No wonder this is where Erykah Badu and B.B. King hang out post-performance.
