    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.

    I was overlooked Arnaud’s on past trips to New Orleans. I was so wrong to that. Everything was amazing. Could not recommend it more. Make sure to try the Crab Karen!

    Loved our night out at Arnaud’s Jazz Bistro. The staff were warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The food was incredible! And the music was GREAT! Please note that they do apply a music surcharge of $6.00 per person (I think of it like a cover charge). It was totally worth it!
