We were there for the Sunday Jazz brunch. The music was very nice and not overpowering. The staff were excellent as was the menu. All the food was very good and served with a polished flair. We finished with Bananas Foster which was prepared table-side and was fabulous. Our 3-course breakfast was very reasonably priced.

The attention to detail in this restaurant is amazing. We had the most perfect dinner. The Shrimp Arnaud was great, the oysters were wonderful. The Meuniere was fabulous. The Quail Elzey was very very good. We loved the souffle potatoes. The salads were creative and yummy. Even the coffee was good. The wait staff was so accommodating, fun, and very attentive.

Terribly disappointed! We were looking forward to a one of a kind of experience. Service was spotty and erratic with Long waits and not knowing who was taking care of our table This was not the special evening that we were looking forward to it, and we were very underwhelmed Food was OK. Nothing to write home about… soufflé potatoes were not available Will not be back

Always a pleasure....our favorite among the classic NOLA restaurants. The pompano is fantastic...not so much the duck, despite the recommendation of our waiter. The potato soufflé MUST be a part of your meal. Service is great.

Jazz Brunch was the perfect ending to our trip to New Orleans. The Gin Fizz and the Brandy Punch were both amazing drinks. My mom throughly enjoyed her eggs Benedict, that’s how it is supposed to be made, she said. My shirred eggs were above and beyond what I thought they would be. If you want perfect old school service and delicious food this is your to go place in the New Orleans French Quarter.

Our hostess was great! She offered us to see their Mardi Gras museum, when we were seated our drink waiter went above and beyond as did our waiter! Our waiter split our salad onto two plates and placed our shrimp in the middle for sharing. I could not have asked for better service from beginning to end.

From the booking experience to the dining experience Arnaud’s was outstanding. Our waitstaff was very attentive and personable. Myra always wore a smile and took great care of us. The food was delicious and the timing of each course what perfect. Be sure to ask for their dessert menu as well. The table side banana foster was not only a fun experience, but delicious al a mode. Although we are just visiting New Orleans we will always come back for another unique experience at Arnaud’s!

An elegantly tired old New Orleans Grande Dame. Nothing special or interesting on the Menu. One diner's Trout dish (probably farm raised) was tasteless and dried out. The Oysters Bienville was a good way to ruin an otherwise good oyster. Lots of interesting alternatives in the city. Try them first!
