    The entire experience was wonderful! Iesha was a great server, we found out that the owner served our first drinks (made them and brought them to the table) and she was extremely hospitable and welcoming, the food and drinks were reasonably priced during happy hour (we peaked at the regular menu, also priced well), and the ambiance/vibe was perfect for a girls night out! I will definitely bring my husband back for date night!

    This is the 6th year in a row that we visit Arnaud's between Christmas and New Years and it NEVER disappoints. Creative cocktails, a menu that has phenomenal appetizers (crab cakes are incredible, potato souffle to die for, salads awesome) and entrees were a huge hit, 3 seafood dishes and one beef). Then the Brulot as desert was the finisher to an incredible dinner. The team that managed our table, Charles and Joseph, were excellent. Lots of good conversation between us and the guys, Just a 5 star night once again. Once slight complaint, corkage for bringing your own wine is overpriced. They have a great wine list but should not overcharge if one brings their own (can in New Orleans) Will be here again next year and thank you Arnauid's

    The Reveillon Dinner was the best experience of the Season. Some restaurants seem use the prix fixe menu as an opportunity to dumb-down their offerings. This was not the case at The Country Club. The menu was thoughtful, seasonal, well prepared and reflective of the fine kitchen for which this establishment is known. We had a lovely evening, with excellent wine advice from our main server. As an added bonus, the ambiance of this venue is not to be missed.
