Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Tommy DiGiovanni

From the OpenTable editors: This legendary restaurant has been doing some of the best Creole fine dining in the French Quarter for more than 100 years. Chandeliers, white tablecloths, and tiled floors set the stage for a series of NOLA favorites like the must-order soufflé potatoes, seafood gumbo, and the spice-studded café brulot that's torched tableside. Make sure to grab a classic New Orleans cocktail before or after your meal at French 75, Arnaud's adjacent James Beard Award-winning bar.

    4 friends from Italy had missed other reservation times before. Had one of the best meals as we live here. My Fish Sheepshead Meuniere sauce was best I've had in city. Salad house dressing was delightful with pistachios. Dessert was fabulous fresh Strawberries marinated in sweet Port crusty thin waffle over fresh cream with vanilla ice. I don't usually have dessert this one stands out. Others had Creme Brule which they enjoyed. Table beside us was quite loud by 9:30 everybody left leaving us with a quiet half hour.

    Excellent food for jazz brunch, the crab cheesecake and bananas foster were unbelievable! Reasonably priced, considering it was a famous restaurant, 3 course brunch deal. Our server staff was excellent and handled our large group perfectly. Highly recommend!

    We were there for the Jazz Brunch. The servers were very polite and made you feel pampered. Maya was a a pleasure to work with as well as the other staff. The food was excellent. I had the crab cakes which were delicious. This was a crab cake not a cake with crab. My friends were equally satisfied with their meals. My wife was thrilled with her Eggs Sardou as she loves artichoke. My friends had bananas foster which was the best they’ve had in town. We had crepes Suzette also delicious. Aldi? did a wonderful job of preparing the desserts. We will be back again.

    It was nice to see people actually dressed for dinner. No jeans, t shirts or hats. It was extremely noisy and thought the food was good but certainly nothing special. If in New Orleans again this would not be on my list for a return. The noise made it hard to have a conversation.
