    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!

    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
