    Oh my lord!! We had the night of our lives! Jeff is the most amazing captain! He led his service team to provide us the most amazing experience! The food was better than sex! The drinks were crafted with love! After dinner Jeff gave us a first class tour of the 40,000 sq ft restaurant and museum! We then went to the bar where Ruby and Danny continued to treat us like royalty! Ruby even called a personal friend to drive us home safely! We are going back this evening! Last night was AMAZING! Here is to Arnaud’s! Jeff! Ruby! Danny! And the entire staff! What a team and what an experience! SALUTE!

    We moved to New Orleans over 6 years ago, one of the draws was the vast possibilities for dining out. Although we will probably never exhaust our list of places to try we return again and again to GW Fins. It’s been #1 on our list for years now because they consistently deliver the best dining experience on every level, first and foremost the quality of the food and service. Last night was another perfect meal from appetizer to dessert, and Marlon was delightful. Much praise and many thanks go to Gary Wollerman and Chef Michael Nelson.

    Where do I begin other than to say Wow! we had such an amazing experience. The food was outstanding. We tried all the different oysters. We had some soup we had some gumbo we had salad and best of all we had the baked Alaska. All were amazing! more than the food, I have to commend your server Chuck he was so amazing and made our experience extraordinary. He steered us in the right direction for food, while giving us a whole history lesson of Antoine’s from the beginning to the end of our meal with little snippets of history and he was probably one of the most charming waiters I have en counted in a very long time . He truly is an asset to your establishment❤️ There is a restaurant in Paris called La Tour D’Argent that I love that does the endearing post card with the number of the duck you ordered just like you do with the oysters! Love that, as well as the famous wine cellar! We so enjoyed the experience and cannot wait to come back on our next visit to NOLA!

    We were a party of four, and we enjoyed our dinner at Mr. B’s. Rah was our server, and he took great care of us. For appetizers we enjoyed the Truffle fries and the fried oysters. Delicious! For entrees, we had the Filet, Gumbo yaya, Wedge salad, and Shrimp & Grits. All was Wonderful for dessert. We shared the Pecan pie and the Crème Brûlée. Would definitely dine again.

    I had been to Brennen’s almost 50 years ago!!! My father told me to go to Brennens for breakfast and order the “Milk Punch.” And so coming again 50 years later Brennens did not disappoint . Everything about my past experience there came flushing back to me, only this time I appreciated being there even more. It was still so beautiful and the food was amazing. My husband had the Scottish egg dish and I had the Duck egg and Duck meat hash. Superb food and beautiful decor . Don’t miss the Brennens experience. Pictures to follow… we even came back the same day for happy hour cocktails.
