    We sat in the Arnaud’s Jazz bistro. It’s an extra $6 surcharge per person but it’s sweet as they travel the room and will play per request as well. Would recommend if it’s an occasion. The service was extremely slow, it took us a few minutes to even get brought menus. The waitstaff has a huge team so it’s confusing when Multiple folks come and go. For a birthday, they brûlée a baked Alaskan table side which is fun.

    I was overlooked Arnaud’s on past trips to New Orleans. I was so wrong to that. Everything was amazing. Could not recommend it more. Make sure to try the Crab Karen!

    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!

    Arnaud's is in trouble. The bar was a madhouse between 7-8pm. The waitstaff was downright rude at the check-in area. The whole place was desperate, uncontrolled and massively in need of management attention. I've never been treated so rudely at a similar restaurant. The food was lovely, but the fried potato dish for which Arnaud's is famous was unavailable at our 830pm seating. That was sad. But the rest of the meal was very good, including the wonderful desserts flambe. We ate in the Jazz annex. The sounds were lovely even though the musicians never approached our table. We left unhappy, sad for Arnaud's, and feeling the evening was very much NOT value of money or that we were being treated well by the front of house staff.
