    I’m sure people might have a good experience here, but everything just went wrong for us and I’ll never go back. I’ll explain. We went there for their Sunday Jazz Brunch. We had never been to New Orleans and were so excited to experience a true southern jazz brunch experience as we are from New England. Oh man, did Arnaud’s let us down. First, they sat us up in an upstairs area that had no visibility to the main dining area nor the band. We could hear the band and people clapping for them, but we could only see the ceiling of the main dining room so did not feel part of the vibe and experience. The hostess could tell we were not happy when she seated us but said no worries that the band would come up and play at our tables to make us fell included. That never happened. We were there for almost 2 hours and not once did the band come upstairs to our section. And when we were first seated there were two other tables finishing in the upstairs area. They left after about 10 minutes of us being there and then it was just our table, by ourselves up in this hallway upstairs while we just had to listen to the fun times everyone was having downstairs with the band. Then to top it off, at the end I went to pay, and the waiter came back and said I never gave my credit card, which I did. Then all the waiters had to scramble to find my credit card, which ended up being in the pocket of one of the waitstaff who “forgot” he accidentally put my card in his pocket when he grabbed the check off the table. Overall it was just an awful experience after traveling across the country and making a reservation months in advance for Jazz Brunch only to not get to experience one but still have to pay the hefty bill as if we did. Food was fine, nothing to write home about. I highly recommend anyone coming to New Orleans for a Jazz Brunch to go to Commander’s Palace instead of Arnaud’s. Or if you do decide to go to Arnaud’s, make sure you tell them not to seat you upstairs.

    The perfect Orleans Jazz brunch service was incredible. Our whole group had a wonderful meal and got to try some really traditional food, which was our hope!

    We've been dining at Arnaud's for special occasions for years and years. So it was a happy occasion to find ourselves back at Arnaud's again this week for an annual birthday celebration. And, we'll be back again. Listen.....this establishment is a real gem that keeps focused on getting better and delivering the results. GREAT food, wide range of creative signature menu choices and - as always- superlative service. Don't miss an opportunity to dine at Arnaud's if you're in NOLA.

    This was an amazing “dining experience”! Probably not the place to go if you’re looking for an economical night out. But with that in mind, you get what you pay for. The food, the service and the atmosphere are second to none. We will definitely be back! Oh…. When you go, be sure to check out the museum of Mardi Gras Queen Gowns!!

    The service for Sunday Jazz brunch was impeccable. The cocktails and jazz band were on point. I appreciate the business's effort to maintain the chandeliers and historical atmosphere as opposed to modernizing. The main dishes lacked slightly compared to appetizers and dessert, however the overall experience was second to none. The upstairs museum is a must see with historical mardi gras costumes and pictures. Don't pass up Arnauds for the New Orleans experience at a reasonable price.

    Went for our anniversary brunch and have nothing, but high praise for our server Joseph and the entire staff. Food was delicious and so much history. If you're a native New Orleanian, or a visitor to the City definitely put Arnaud's on your list of restaurants to try.
