    Arnaud’s Jazz Bistro offers a fantastic dining experience with excellent service and a lively jazz atmosphere. The delicate fish dishes were especially enjoyable, perfectly cooked and flavorful. The music adds to the charm without overpowering conversation, making it a great spot for both fine dining and a classic New Orleans jazz vibe.

    A delightful experience was spoiled when we were presented with the bill before we had a chance to order coffee and perhaps an after-dinner drink. My complaint was met with argument. While the rest of the experience was top-shelf, this is the second time Arnaud’s has disappointed me with a stupid faux pas. I’m afraid I will not return.

    Everything about this restaurant was wonderful. The seafood was fresh and delicious, ambiance was relaxing, and the staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. The Jazz band was so entertaining and friendly and they moved around to several tables to play for guests personally. Overall, my best restaurant experience in New Orleans. Will definitely be going back every time I’m here!

    ARNAUDS has been our favorite for nearly 40 years! From dinners to Christmas parties, we have spent hours and hours and hours within that fabulous building… OMG, soooooooo many fabulous memories!! Love the new decor in the bistro, but miss the fabulous artwork that was previously there. Also miss the loaf of bread that were divine, and made most everyone giggle…IYKYK 😜

    Great place, great food, great music. The service needs to back off a little and allow you to enjoy your meal. They come by every few minutes looking to take your plate away even if you’re not finished.
