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.

    Good food and good atmosphere but felt rushed by waiter. Kept coming to the table to get our order then we wanted to order appetizers, he pushed us to order the entire meal together---claimed that otherwise we would be waiting a long time for our entrees. Thought this was strange. Overall, the appetizers and main dishes were very good and the staff was friendly----our waiter was the only thing keeping this experience from being a 5 star.

    Good start, great menu with excellent choices but service left us wanting…few patron but still took well over 35min for entree after salad and appetizer, finished wine and waiter seemed distracted. When food arrived the apologizes and aaid would send manager. Manager comp’d main and said it was a “miscommunication”. Didn’t feel that way to us just out right forgot or misplaced. Waiter was more in tent contain about my wife’s curly hair than ordering g or serving. Also current owner eat there every night and staff makes a big deal about the fact—seems kind of pompous/ pretentious.

    The food was delicious, the potato dish was served barely warm. The service was excellent. Our reservation was cancelled by either the app or the restaurant but not by me, fortunately we were still able to get a table. The bananas foster was saving grace to the entire visit.

    Took our 10 year old and 14 year old for their first trip to New Orleans. We all loved the jazz brunch. Wonderful musicians, outstanding service and delicious food. Our server was kind enough to give us a tour of the upstairs rooms as well, I know the experience will be one we all remember.

    We live in a tourist town, so when you go to another tourist town and have a server like Justin take such pride in the place he works and truly want to show you a good time it is so appreciated. We found NOLA hospitality to be hot and cold, Justin’s was hot, totally genuine and sincere. Not only was the food, drink, service and space amazing, he then took us on a tour of the private dining rooms and Mardi Gras museum. It only takes a little more effort and care to make the experience special and many at Arnaud’s had that level of care. There was another man whose name also stated with J that showed me the different dining rooms when we first walked in, we felt welcomed from the moment we entered the building. They serve the filet with a standard knife because you don’t need a steak knife. It was truly one of the best steaks that all of us at the table had ever had. We would love to know the technique. From start to finish, a memorable evening. If only all restaurants and hospitality workers put that level of pride and care into the work they do. Justin, thanks for the awesome memories!

    Beautiful atmosphere with attentive service. The food is not all it’s wrapped up to be. It’s quantity over quality.
