Tragic start to NYD considering the Bourbon St attack. Brennan’s opened late, we called to confirm our reservation too. Cindy & Sheldon were great. We went w/ Sheldon’s recommendations - Eggs Carpaccio (our fav), Oysters, Eggs St. Charles + Owen’s Scotch Egg. Definitely, we did the Banana Foster. The Musicians were a great addition. We had a better experience here vs Mr. B’s Bistro last night.

Loved our night out at Arnaud’s Jazz Bistro. The staff were warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The food was incredible! And the music was GREAT! Please note that they do apply a music surcharge of $6.00 per person (I think of it like a cover charge). It was totally worth it!
