Any restuarants that will let you reserve their balcony for a rehearsal dinner?

Hi ladies! I was hoping to have our rehearsal dinner on a balcony in the french quarter and I originally thought Crescent City Brewhouse but I just called them and they don't reserve the balcony We have a really small group of about 30-35 people. Thanks!

I dont know how nice/formal you want. I reserved the balcony at Margaritaville for my graduation party a couple years ago. It was fun, and the food was great. Plus you could hear the live music from downstairs. So it would be a fun place if you werent looking for formal.

I remember reading something about Napoleon House's balcony for a rehearsal.  You could also check Antoines and Palace Cafe -- I know they have second floor rooms but not sure about balconies.

Muriel's has two rooms upstairs and both have a balcony over looking Jackson Square. We almost went with them.

Arnauds has private upstairs rooms with balcony access. I attended a private birthday party for about 20 guests there and it was amazing.

My daughter just had her rehearsal dinner on 3/2 at Tujagues in a room with a balcony overlooking Decatur.  The main dinner was inside but guests could come and go from the balcony before and after.  We had 42 and there was plenty of room.  Tujagues was very easy to work with and very accommodating. 
I highly recommend them.

We had ours in the Veranda room at Muriels and had access to the upstairs balcony all night.
