Be part of an enchanted evening celebrating the acclaimed female chefs of Bayona and the Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group, and the grandeur of a 19th century American Townhouse coming back to life!

Enchanted Evening on Esplanade offers an exclusive opportunity to step inside preservationist Johnny Maybank's private residence, fresh from its first phase of historic restoration and never before seen by the public. This candlelit night of craft cocktails, fine dining, music,  and conversation featuring an exciting collaboration between the female chefs* of Bayona Restaurant and the Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group will dazzle guests with a specially curated menu of Creole haute cuisine. 

During this unforgettable evening, guests will also have the chance to meet interior designer Keith Carroll and view the collaborative vision for the house, which blends period furnishings, rich Creole paint colors, and masterful local craftsmanship. This event also supports the work of Hermann-Grima + Gallier Historic Houses, ensuring these architectural treasures and their collections remain a vital part of New Orleans' cultural landscape.

Seats are extremely limited, reserve yours today for May 8, 2025. Invitations will be mailed to paid guests.

*HGGHH was originally founded in 1881 by The Woman's Exchange to promote and empower women and is proud to continue this tradition by featuring female chefs.
