    Wildly disappointed. Sent two dishes back. Service was smothering and confused. Definitely not what we expected from reading other reviews. We won’t return.

    Huɓby and I went for an afternoon jazz brunch, and it was a lot of fun. The jazz trio is truly exceptional. However, the place was extremely warm. The overhead fans should have been tuned on and running for the diners.

    We were really excited about Arnaud’s based on the reviews but the experience was a huge disappointment from top to bottom. To start, the coffee was undrinkably acidic, the “cream cheese” parfait appetizer was just fruit and granola in milk, and the waffles were clearly several hours old and stale. The Eggs Benedict were okay but very basic and bland. The crab cakes were again very basic and boring. The “grits” were dry and formed more like a muffin (how? why?). The only winners from the meal were the Shrimp Arnaud and the bananas foster. But they were nothing to write home about. The service was extraordinarily slow and the waiters whispered (during jazz brunch) and got several things wrong during the meal. It took 3 hours to get through a simple brunch. We thought maybe our standards were too high but both tables next to us were complaining about the disappointing food and service to the point where it just became laughable. The level of “snooty-ness” was way too high for the below average food and service they delivered. Maybe this place was once great. Maybe it was an off day. But there’s too many great restaurants in NOLA to waste your time here.
