    Jazz brunch was quite enjoyable. Staff was gracious and accommodating. Food was delicious. Upscale atmosphere but not stuffy.

    The Jazz Brunch was a delightful experience, excellent food (the crabcakes were exceptional) and attentive service. We’ll do it again our next visit to New Orleans.

    Disappointed. Service was painfully slow but worse, unresponsive. Shrimp etoufa was adequate, but to be fair and balanced, banana foster was really good and the server was spot on. I've been eating at Arnaud's for 40+ years and unfortunately, for the first time, I believe their attention is more focused on the convention business and getting them in an out, than their old regulars. I will try again before writing them off.

    Great Service. The food was very good, but not outstanding! Like I remembered. Didn’t come out hot. Could have been the waiter.

    This is the best food we’ve had in NOLA, in the warmest, most elegant and most welcoming setting! Janine, Davi and Justin were excellent guides to the historic traditional menu. The smoked pompano with capers, sliced so thinly and smoked in-house, was a beautiful starter. My husband had the quail and seafood boudin, crunchy outside and tender within; and I loved the speckled trout meunière with perfect haricots verts and. Crabmeat; and those soufflé potatoes—oh my! Also loved the Mille-feuille for dessert…light as a feather!
