    What an amazing experience!! We celebrated our 20 year anniversary here and it was the perfect choice. The service was on point, drinks and entrees (and gumbo) was terrific, and the music was an added bonus!

    Go to their French 75 Bar adjacent after or before your meal. The Bartenders are the best around. They will give you an evening you won’t forget.

    We had a wonderful evening. The jazz band played around the room with a stop at our table. The atmosphere was lovely. The food was very good… a little pricey. The service excellent. The fillet mignon was excellent.

    Overall terrible service for what you’re paying for. Sat down, waited 15 minutes to even order a drink. When our drinks were out, waited another 10-15 minutes for a server to come back. Waiter messed up the order. Ordered a dozen oysters, we got 6. Ordered Bernaise sauce on the side with the entree, never got it. After ordering the entrees, never saw the main server until I had to ask for the check. Would recommend going somewhere else.

    We celebrated our 50th anniversary at Arnaud’s. We were treated like royalty by all of the staff. The Jazz trio topped off the evening by playing a song from our wedding at our table and encouraged us to dance. It was a magical experience. The food was great and came at a leisurely pace so as to give us time to enjoy every minute. We went there 50 years ago when we were honeymooning in NOL A. The ambience is still the same- classy and spectacular
