PRIVATE DINING

OLD TOWN ROOTS

Two-Nineteen Restaurant has specialized in New Orleans style French-Creole cuisine since 1979. It’s original Executive Chef had commandeered the Two-Nineteen Restaurant, to bring the old dame to her former glory. Chef focused on using carefully sourced local ingredients for his menu and was obsessed with freshness being deliver direct only from neighboring farmers and fish mongers. His passion of cooking with the twist of his culinary traditions had soon taken root here. The Chef’s mirage of a haunted Victorian home combined with Southern hospitality and his unique cooking style is what has made Two-Nineteen Restaurant the mainstay it is today.

The restaurant was painstakingly remodeled to the Victorian era’s magnificent 18th century architecture. Built in 1890 by the prosperous merchant Lewis MacKenzie, the interior decor features period mill work which is evident in the chair rails, cornices, and solid mahogany bars. The antique furnishings were purchased amidst the excitement of the London auction houses and include matching marble fireplace mantles, Hungarian crystal chandeliers and solid brass wall sconces. Of special interest are the brilliant-cut mirrors fashioned by one the few remaining artisans who use the techniques created at the turn of the century.
