    Wanted to introduce our future son in law to a classic New Orleans French Quarter dining experience. Arnaud’s was a perfect choice, from the cocktails at the bar pre-dinner to the perfect meal. Staff was courteous, professional, friendly and welcoming. Wine was delicious and our after dinner Mardi Gras museum tour was the perfect way to end dinner. Our son in law to be is smitten with all things New Orleans, and this was simply a wonderful experience to share with him.

    There is no place like Arnaud’s. It is the perfect combination of old New Orleans fine dining in a gorgeous, festive environment with staff who treat you like family. There is just nothing better.

    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

    Old world charm, impeccable service, and, most importantly, delicious food! The oysters in five different ways was such a treat. Our table shared the shrimp creole and the duck. Highly recommend! As a side note, this place has history. Ask a waiter to tell you the stories. And don’t miss the Marie Gras exhibition on the 2nd floor.

    The food was amazing, well prepared. No steak knife necessary for the filet. The drinks were beyond great. The service was fantastic. The noise level was high. It was difficult to hear the server at times. We enjoyed ourselves regardless. If you’re looking for an intimate setting, try the French 75 bar which was intimate. The same great service and cocktails.

    Booking requested small table in front of front window which we always get. When the lady started to take me upstairs, it was clear they hadn’t checked ahead of time. Finally we got exactly the table I always sit at. Crab claws were excellent. Crab Prentiss was sent back. I do not understand why the restaurant insists this be on the menu. It is essentially about 1 tablespoon of crabmeat mixed into a square of cream cheese and slightly heated. Really disgusting when you are set to eat what you think will be hot cheesy crabmeat to spread on crackers. Way below the quality of their usual recipes.
