    What a true New Orleans gem. Not only were we treated to classic New Orleans jazz, but the food was also superb. No wonder the jazz bar and restaurant are still thriving after over 100 years. If you want to experience New Orleans at its best, treat yourself to this experience.

    Arnaud’s is one of the five Grande Dames and needs no review from me. However, there was one inexplicable flaw in a perfect evening: my cafe au lait was served with cold milk and thus wasn’t cafe au lait. Let’s hope this fall from Parnassus is remedied in future.

    Arnaud's Jazz Bistro is a terrific place for a special occasion. My husband and I dined there to celebrate my birthday. There was a Trio who was playing Jazz music when we first arrived and later they stopped by at our table to sing Happy Birthday to me! We enjoyed the Shrimp Arnaud appetizer and for dinner, we had the Arnaud's Crab Cakes, Souffle Potatoes and Arnaud Salad. For dessert, we ordered the Chocolate Cake. Our servers were excellent and as a special birthday surprise, they treated me with a complimentary mini Baked Alaska!

    Arnaud’s Jazz Bistro offers a fantastic dining experience with excellent service and a lively jazz atmosphere. The delicate fish dishes were especially enjoyable, perfectly cooked and flavorful. The music adds to the charm without overpowering conversation, making it a great spot for both fine dining and a classic New Orleans jazz vibe.

    A delightful experience was spoiled when we were presented with the bill before we had a chance to order coffee and perhaps an after-dinner drink. My complaint was met with argument. While the rest of the experience was top-shelf, this is the second time Arnaud’s has disappointed me with a stupid faux pas. I’m afraid I will not return.
