    Shrimp appetizer was to die for. The two of us had three full entrees bc we could decide. Steak with crab wasiterally best thing I have eaten in a very long time. 10/10. The crab cakes we excellent. The grilled fish was above average but nothing exciting. Overall, fantastic evening.

    The food was delicious and our server Travis was an absolute delight! In all my years traveling to New Orleans, this was my first time at Arnaud's and it didn't disappoint. I can't wait to visit again. My partner was so impressed with the turtle soup and described her veal as a "hug on a plate"!

I didn't want to leave! I tried new items that I had never eaten before and I was not disappointed. I cannot wait for our next visit!

    The service at this restaurant was by far the worst I’ve ever experienced. For starters, we had reservations in place however, once we got there I was told there may be a table for me “possibly”, the time it took for us to receive “water” was over 30 minutes, while I was waiting 3 parties came in after I was seated and within 20 minutes of them being they received appetizers, it wasn’t until I asked for a manager that my order was taken. The server was rude and very short seemed to be unknowable of the menu. After spending monies and most importantly time, to vacation relax and get away this experience was “horrible” ! I will never dine here again. The management was no personable and did nothing to accommodate me in the midst of my experience. If you are ever in the New Orleans area please bypass this restaurant, it’s overpriced for the terrible service they provide!

    The jazz music was amazing, as was the food and service from our Captain. 5/5. The only thing that concerned me was that there was still a waiter wearing a mask (masks are dirty, and people don't usually wash their hands after handling their dirty masks). We'd definitely go here again.

    We had a drink in the bar before our dinner. The bar is elegant, the server was friendly and efficient. The drinks were great. We ordered the soufflé potatoes which were delicious. After drinks we were seated in the dining room. The service was great, the food was great. Overall one of my best dining experiences in New Orleans. The Cafe Brulot was a dramatic end to a memorable meal.

    Old school New Orleans. Unfortunately, there was a large loud group seated in our section, but our servers were top-notch. Food was maybe not the best I've ever had, but did not disappoint. Brought out a small tableside flambed dessert for my birthday, which was a really nice touch.

    Loved our jazz brunch experience at Arnaud’s! It cost less than I thought it would, and we got three wonderful courses. Really enjoyed the cream cheese evangeline, gruyère omelette, and mille feuille. They also have nonalcoholic cocktails available. Luis was a great server: very professional and welcoming. We also loved the music. It was fun to watch the different tables be serenaded. If I was to come back to NOLA I would certainly book this again.
