    Of course there is a high noise level and we loved it! A jazz trio goes from table to table playing live jazz! This is a high end restaurant so you shouldn’t be surprised by a higher priced menu. We asked for & were accommodated by a fine gentleman who led us on a tour of some of the history of this establishment. Highly recommend for a historic New Orleans experience!

    The service was beyond excellent. No notes. The jazz band was great, even though they never stopped at our table to play. The gumbo was lukewarm at best. The amandine fish was perfection. The $60 charge for the jazz band was ridiculous.

    Terrific experience. We had a before dinner cocktail in the French 75 Bar which had a great atmosphere and terrific specialty drinks. We ate dinner at the Jazz Bistro which had very good food and excellent service. A highlight was the jazz trio who played the entire time we ate and had a great song selection by excellent musicians. Highly recommended.

    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!
