   I was seated quickly. Waitress was friendly and responsive. We started with the crispy Brussel sprouts and they are sooo good! I got the spring salad with salmon and it was delicious. We had a great evening! The band in the courtyard is why we chose Arnold’s and they were so fun!!

   Great location and our food was delicious. I was with a large group who were heading to a show after dinner. Our meals took a lot longer than anticipated and we felt rushed to finish eating and get to our event. Won't stop me from coming back.

    We tried this place based on recommendations and having seen the chef on Chopped. To say we were disappointed and underwhelmed would be an understatement. For the table we ordered the poutine and the whipped ricotta appetizers. The poutine ended up being the only food ordered with any taste at all. The whipped ricotta was bland. Our food arrived 5 minutes after the appetizers, so we didn’t really have a chance to eat much of them anyway. For meals we ordered the Greek Deluxe and the Truffle Brie Chicken. I’m not sure why the Greek Deluxe has been on the menu since 1957, because it had no taste, it didn’t even have salt or pepper, let alone any Greek flavoring. The Truffle Brie Chicken’s saving grace was the risotto, which still lacked flavor. Overall, we couldn’t figure out what the hype was about and won’t be returning.

    I had the seasonal salad, which was delicious (good mix of ingredients) and hearty, even without adding chicken. The kitchen here always produces quality soups, salads, and entrees.

    Great Friday night at the historic Arnold's Bar and Grill in the Courtyard. The Chicken dish was substantial and delicious. Another favorite was the Portabella Sandwich. We shared dessert and the cheese cake was enough for three people! Loved the music! You just can't help but smile when you hear Lagniappe playing. They are an amazing local Cajun band. A perfect way to wind down the week and start the weekend!

    The drinks were watered down and not that great. The food was underwhelming. Mediocre at best. I’ve had great bar food and it just missed the mark on many levels. For being the oldest bar in the city and having been featured on cooking shows it was a huge disappointment and let down. I wouldn’t go back to be honest and would not recommend.

    Food and service were great. The courtyard is such a fun, eclectic spot to dine and take in the history of the establishment. Wine selection is nice and reasonably priced. This was a cool alternative to traditional Friday fish fries as they have salmon in addition to fried cod!

    The place was packed. They’re were groups of people that left because the wait was too long. Since I went on Open Table and got a reservation, I did not have to wait at all. I’ve only used this app a few times, but it will be my go to from now on for sure.

    We had tickets to the show and decided to dine at our staple place for good food and cocktails. We have not been to Arnold's since pre-Covid and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and presentation of the food. My husband had a Bourbon mule and the salmon dinner and I had the skinny mule and the brie truffle chicken. It was delicious! I would definitely go back for the chicken and find it may be a dish that pulls me back sooner than I would have normally planned.😋 My husband loved the salmon too but after he tried the Brussel sprouts.....I know he'll want to come back for more. Typically he prefers asparagus but I know he will forever only want Brussel sprouts here. Our server was phenomenal. She checked on us regularly and adjusted our bill several times as we kept adding drinks and then dessert.(our fault, not hers....she was trying to help get us out quickly for the show :)) I had the bread pudding for dessert. It was good but I'd likely get the cheesecake next time. We will definitely be back. We love the live music and on show nights, we never get to stay, unfortunately. Next time we'll plan our visit based on the music.

    We were booked in the garden, right in front of the stage and it WAS Bockfest so, of course, it was noisy. Food was good - fish and chips all around, beer was delish! and the service was superb! Great place to hang. Love it.

    First time there. It is so cool and the patio area is a fun, brilliant use of the space. We enjoyed the bluegrass band and the whole vibe. We happened to be there during Bockfest ( never heard of it) so it was a special menu. My salad was so good and huge! We will definitely go back!
