    Very disappointing experience. Server didn’t know classic cocktails and I was told the bar couldn’t make what I ordered (a boulevardier, nothing weird or complicated!). Food was terrible — flavors were off-putting and unbalanced (all I could taste in the shrimp remoulade was Dijon mustard, all I could taste in the fish meunière sauce was Worcestershire) and my partner’s fish was so over-salted he couldn’t eat it. They took it off the bill and offered to replace it but he didn’t want to try anything else there and declined. The band played about four songs and then took a break, never to return for the rest of our dinner. Not sure why we paid a cover for that. This is not an inexpensive restaurant and no part of our experience was worth the price. Eat anywhere else but here.

    Such a fun jazz experience! Food was good, not amazing for the price though. Music made it totally worth it.

    Arnaud's is a special jewel in the crown of authentic New Orleans dining. Its ambience, personnel, history, location, and, of course, its cuisine make it a destination for anyone wanting to experience "what makes New Orleans unique."

    Fish pontchartrain was fabulous. Service is outstanding, and the music was wonderful. Exactly what one should expect from a fine dining experience.

    The food was very good, especially the Pompano Duarte. The jazz band added a special touch of NOLA. A must experience.

    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.
