    The food was amazing, well prepared. No steak knife necessary for the filet. The drinks were beyond great. The service was fantastic. The noise level was high. It was difficult to hear the server at times. We enjoyed ourselves regardless. If you’re looking for an intimate setting, try the French 75 bar which was intimate. The same great service and cocktails.

    Booking requested small table in front of front window which we always get. When the lady started to take me upstairs, it was clear they hadn’t checked ahead of time. Finally we got exactly the table I always sit at. Crab claws were excellent. Crab Prentiss was sent back. I do not understand why the restaurant insists this be on the menu. It is essentially about 1 tablespoon of crabmeat mixed into a square of cream cheese and slightly heated. Really disgusting when you are set to eat what you think will be hot cheesy crabmeat to spread on crackers. Way below the quality of their usual recipes.

    Arnaud’s has been a tradition for us for a number of years. I don’t know what the issue is, but for 2 years in a row they have not served the soufflé potatoes. Same excuse that they are not puffing up correctly & they won’t serve them unless they’re just right. These potatoes are one of the reasons that we venture down to the French Quarter to the old traditional restaurants . I haven’t heard of Galatoire’s or Antoine’s having a problem with their potatoes, so I think this is a lame excuse for some other issue (maybe too time consuming, I don’t know). We love the atmosphere, but nothing else makes the meal that “special” - we’ll probably switch to Antoine’s or Galatoire’s next year. So sorry to have to make the change, but disappointed doesn’t begin to describe the last 2 years of “Christmas at Arnaud’s.”

    The food was great, particularly the charred oysters and the flavorful soups – the turtle soup and both gumbos were exceptional. Our service was awesome, with Bree and our head server (captain) providing attentive and friendly service. The main restaurant itself is undeniably elegant, perhaps even a touch over-the-top (OCD staff and hovering), but acceptable.

    An exquisite and wonderful holiday experience. Joseph did a spectacular job guiding our family through specialties and unique New York flavors. We topped off our special meal with a trip upstairs to see the Mardi Gras gowns.

    First time dining here. Everything was perfect. The food was amazing. Felt a little rushed to order, but once we paced with our server, drinks and dishes came out fantastically.. staff was knowledgeable. A must try, in my opinion.. We have been to some very fine dining, and this is in our top four. Well done, nola.
