    Once we asked our waiter to move from a large very boisterous table (which they gladly did) we had a great experience. Good food & great service! Will be back.

    Arnaud's is awesome! Smoked fish appetizer was one of the best things I have ever eaten. Drinks were great, food was very tasty and served hot. Server had a great personality and was very attentive. Great place to celebrity spot as well! Highly recommend for a special meal.

    I am pained by what I am about to write. A decade ago, on my first trip to New Orleans, a friend and resident told me Arnauds was THE must go restaurant. I have been coming back to Arnaud's every trip since. Last night was my 6th time dining there. The food and service last night were, sadly, not up to standard. Under cooked oysters and over cooked fish both displaying a distinct LACK of flavor. Service was slow, non attentive. Even when the gentleman running the floor breezed by, there was no time to say anything before he was gone. I will be back to NOLA, but sadly, not to Arnauds

    How can you not have soufflé potatoes, your signature dish? I think that sums it up. Service was excellent as always. Just disappointing that you only go a few times a year and you go for the soufflé potatoes and they didn’t have them.

    1st class everything! We loved the food, ambiance, and our server, Dhabi. I had an amazing escargot appetizer, and my sister loved her red snapper.

    We loved the Jazz Brunch! One of the coolest things we did in New Orleans. Food was really good. Some interesting picks. We didn’t get the one thing we really wanted (guess they sold out) servers really really nice however one server we had come check on us didn’t seem to know the menu that well. Can’t complain too much tho! Delish and fun time :) check was like 150 so not too expensive either.

    Always a top notch experience at Arnauds. Service is amazing and very old school. We went to Sunday jazz brunch which was a treat. Grits and Grillades was superb.

    Every time we visit NOLA we make the point of either having their Jazz Brunch or dinner at Arnauds A veritable institution where great service and food are the standards most if not all establishments should aspire to
