    We have been to Arnauds many times over the years. Our recent experience did not live up to expectations. Our crab cakes were cold and we bit into shells. There was a 10 minute gap between guests at our table getting their starters. When asking our server about a wine option, he asked us to write it down on a piece of paper for him. Disappointing experience in multiple ways.

    Always a classy way to enjoy one of New Orleans’ finest and most iconic establishments. Auggie runs an incredibly well-oiled machine with the perfect balance of classic service and charm. We will always come back here!

    We had a great experience! Walking in the main dining room was an experience in itself!! The service was impeccable. My kids even felt special with extra cherries in their Shirley temples. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant more. The food was unbelievable. Probably some of the best food I’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend experiencing one of the oldest restaurants in New Orleans!

    Not what it was. Maybe the first string taking a break before Super Bowl week. Gumbo had too much black pepper. Soufflé potatoes too heavy. No tang to the shrimp Arnaud. Somm could not be bothered to take our wine order - the server did. Very disappointing experience.

    This is your father’s and grandfather’s fine dining. It’s a throwback to the Rat Pack era. Bet the menu hasn’t changed in many a year. It’s something to experience once.

    Poor service. 45 min to get first drink Slow to take order and to bring to table. Forgot to bring my soup. Brought after I told them to cancel order after I had half finished my entre. Loud. Told numerous times about dress code but not enforced. 75% of men did not have on coats. Not my first time there but it has gone down. Much better service and food at other restaurants i visited this trip.

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