Wonderful experience! The food was delicious, the historic building was so cool, and the service was amazing. In a city where bad service and high prices seem to be the norm, Arnaud's is the COMPLETE opposite! The only thing I can find to "complain" about is that it felt really bright in the dining room during dinner. We all said that this was the best dinner - by far - that we had while in New Orleans. A must-try.
