Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Venetian Isles

Quiet, well-kept surroundings. The staff are very attentive, but the real jewel of this restaurant is the cuisine: refined, fresh and harmonious. It's rare to find standards of comparable quality in the United States, even during the holidays! Being French and a member of the Italian Academy of Cuisine, I can only say, bravo!

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

Beautiful restaurant in a great location at the end of the French Quarter, just before Frenchman Street. It is very small, with just a few tables which made for a quiet and personalized service. As well, the wine list was great with many Italian wines and the menu was incredible. It has a home cooked italian meal kind of feel but elevated to be more fancy. We really loved everything about this restaurant. Also, leave room for dessert. It was so delicious!

Great experience! Love the creativity of the food and drinks! They did not disappoint. We got a dish complements of the chef which was nice and I really enjoyed myself. My wife and I are spending a couple days here and we love good food and drinks. This place is so good, I actually may go back while we are on this trip. If you are considering good food, drink, and value please look no further and do not fall for the tourist restaurants. This place is the real deal.

As always Antoine's was excellent. Antoine's is the #1 fine dining experience available anywhere in New Orleans, and it has never disappointed. My wife and I have been coming here for 27 years and have enjoyed each visit. The staff was professional, courteous, and easy to summon if we had a request for something. They have a pride in their establishment that comes across in their dealings with customers. Very few restaurants, even in New Orleans, can say that any longer. Russell and Roland were both consummate professionals and took exceptionally good care of us. And it was great to see Charles Carter again. Charles waited on us on our first visit 27 years ago and many times since, and has always made sure we're taken care of. The Reveillon menu dishes were prepared perfectly and were delicious as always. I was pleasantly surprised to see a NY Strip as a choice for the main course and both my wife and I received our steaks cooked perfectly. We even had a special request for dessert and it was handled with no problems. If you're coming to New Orleans, Antoine's is a must. How many restaurants can say they have been in business with the same family since 1840? I hope to still be around to enjoy a visit in their 200th anniversary year in 2040.
