   This will always be my favorite restaurant. Have been four times in the last year alone and it’s been an A+ experience every time. Recently had friends in town and went to Antoine’s and Galatoire’s- both of which I consider comparable on the surface- but in both service and food quality, neither comes close to comparing to Arnaud’s.

   Service was exceptionally poor. The cocktail/wine server was inept, rude and argumentative. She could not locate the first wine we ordered so we chose another. She couldn’t find that either. After 30 minutes, she brought the 3rd choice. She had no idea how to open it. All service was exceedingly slow. The food, on the other hand, was excellent when it finally arrived.

   Food was ok, underwhelming for price and accolades. Cocktails were good. Most disappointing was choosing the jazz bistro as our spot for dinner based on the impression there would be live jazz during supper. We arrived a little early for our reservation so managed to hear a couple of songs (which were lovely) But then 2 of the musicians took a break from 8.30 to 9.35 leaving 1 musician sitting and scrolling phone in a quiet and kind of boring dining room instead. Charged $12 music charge, which would have been happy to pay, and more, had we actually been able to experience music during meal. Had we known we would’ve chosen a different spot as limited time in the city and it felt a bit like time/money wasted tbh

   We loved our evening at the Jazz Bistro. The musicians make the atmosphere really enjoyable and they put in special effort to help all diners feel involved and special. This is not our first time dining here, but we must admit that it was not quite as good as last time. We were told that they did not have any steak knives when my husband asked for one for his entree—he was forced to cut his steak with a butter knife (actually, the same exact knife he used for his appetizer and bread and butter) which was kinda odd. There also seemed to be some confusion around which tasks belonged to each staff member—our water glasses were not regularly filled because it seemed like the the sever was waiting for someone else to do it and the staff also took a very long time to get a bottle of wine to our table after ordered (despite ordering it during our first course, our entrees were proactively done by the time it got to us). Over all, it was a good experience but not quite as great as previous visits. We will be back though!

    Food was delicious. We were in the Jazz bistro so we had nice music but it was quiet when they were not playing. Service was marvelous, very attentive. It's a little pricey but it was very enjoyable.

    Warm and friendly atmosphere in a beautifully appointed space. Service was timely, staff were professional and helpful, and the jazz band made the experience tip-top. When ordering soup and salad, we mentioned we were going to share and they brought it out pre-split so we each had our own plate/bowl; a thoughtful touch. Reasonably priced considering location and quality/quantity of food. Our meal: crab claw app, turtle soup, salad, filet au poivre, veal tournedos, two sides, one dessert, two glasses of wine, cognac, and port:$240 pre-tip.

    Lady at main desk a little rude because I came thru restaurant door instead of bistro. I did not know the difference have done it several times before must be a covid thing Every body else very very nice. Service quick food great Jazz trio very good. Servers very knowledgeable. Not rushed Great evening will be back hopefully. Definitely one of the best restaurant I have been.

    Had a 5 star birthday dinner for my husband, complete with a jazz serenade. We had the crab claw app and shrimp bisque- perfection. I had the filet mignon with wild mushrooms, him the fish with spicy shrimp and the flambéed coffee for dessert. Everything was perfectly cooked, perfect temp, and presentation. Couldn’t have asked for more.

    One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had as a solo traveler. Ordered the Reveille menu. I was not offered the bread service that everyone around me was enjoying. I had to ask for my first course, after they’d already brought the second. There was a vegetable on my plate that was clearly burned and I got zero response from the server when I questioned it. I ordered desert to go and it was basically thrown in a box like a huge mess with no napkins or tableware. Most of us are staying in hotels here. Would not go back.

    I’ve been to Arnaud’s Jazz Bistro many times before and this was the first time I was disappointed. We sat at 9:00 pm for our reservation. We were served cocktails almost immediately, which was great, but they didn’t come back to take our food order for another 30 min. Food was slow out of the kitchen and they forgot to put in one of our courses. After all of the delays, we did not get our entrees until 11:05 pm, which was frankly just too late to be eating a steak. We did not leave there until almost midnight. The servers were as nice as can be and genuinely looked flustered, but this was a dinner that should have taken 90 min and ended up being over 3 hours.

    Not knowing that the Bistro was a separate dining room, I made reservations through Open Table weeks prior, no place did it say where you we’re going to be dining. Unfortunately we were not able to sit in the main dining room 😕 I understand if your booked but the hostess was very abrupt and not accommodating at all! They said food was exactly the same menu! WRONG!! It was limited and pretty basic, out of some items, and for the $$$$ average on the portions and taste! Our waitress acted as if she wanted to be some place else. The service was lacking and it seems as it’s a overflow room for the main dining room if you don’t have reservations. It’s been a couple years since or last visit, but it’s sad to see how Covid has changed the culture and the reputation of what Armand’s used to be!!!

    Went at 9pm for drinks, appetizers, and dessert. This place is a MUST!! The sinbread and gumbo are amazing! If you are a coffee lover you have to get the coffee burate on the dessert menu. We had Cornelius (I think he said he was in training) and he was the sweetest, and most attentive server and made the best coffee burate!

    We had jazz dinner booked in advance. The food was average, the shrimp arnauld was cold Shrimp with arnauld sauce which is cold cocktail sauce with strong Worcestershire flavor. They had jazz music played for us but didn’t specify that they are going to charge for that. Overall not a great place. Would avoid goin in the future.

    A cover charge was added to the bill. There was no mention of this on the reservation platform, confirmation of the reservation or as we were seated. Also, we did not receive what we ordered: lump crab was added to my fish dish and the side dish was not correct. The jazz music was great, the wait staff friendly and the food good.

    Truly a special dinner at a historical restaurant. Service was impeccable. So nice to see waiters in formal wear. It was a step back to a more refined era. Best crab cakes we ever had which says volumes since we are from San Francisco. Caesar was fine but the Filet Au Pouvrie was delicious. Bananas Foster flambe’ at the table was impressive and delicious. There was a jazz combo consisting of a bass, bass and trumpet. The trumpet player sang. They went table to table asking for requests. I asked for Moon River and it was a lovely rendition. I did not know there were two dining rooms. I would highly recommend the bistro. It was intimate and special. Loved seeing the private rooms as we walked out. So reminiscent of earlier times when important diners wanted to entertain their guests in private. Say cheers with a French 75!

    Arnaud’s was a fun date spot! Food was good. Not great. Filet was cooked perfectly but it was topped with the wrong sauce. We definitely recommend the crab cakes! The ambiance was fun with the jazz trio walking around. Overall, it was just a bit expensive for what it was

    We ate in the Jazz Bistro and it was amazing! Great ambiance, and the food was the best we had in New Orleans. We got the puff potatoes, Fish Almandine, Oysters, bananas foster, escargot- it was all incredible. Full of flavor and nothing was oily or greasy. I will recommend this to anyone and we WILL be returning to this restaurant. Thank you for making our anniversary so memorable.

    We ate in the Jazz Bistro, which appeared to be quieter than the main dining room, despite the playing of the wonderful jazz trio. Our waiters, Eric and Cornelius, were very good - friendly and informative without being overbearing. Food was classic Arnaud’s and beautifully prepared and served. The jazz trio was outstanding, adding just the right note to the evening.
