What a great weekend. Able to try Galatoire's and Arnaud's in the same weekend! Did the jazz brunch here. In the argument between which is better of the two, it of course depends! Based on the less-clubby clientele at Arnaud's, the atmosphere, and the food, I'm in the Arnoud's camp. I loved everything. The service, food, and atmosphere - especially the bar area. It has all the classic dishes but what really stood out was the Strawberries Arnaud. It was one of the top desserts I have had this year. The waiters were a bit less formal, though formal enough. And it's not as loud as Galaroire's. Both are great - but this will be a return for me.

A big party for a special occasion had dinner and it was a negative experience. The Waiter was loud and obnoxious. The other waitstaff was rude and the steaks were mediocre. No dessert for sure! Couldn’t wait to get out of there. Very disappointed!!!

Haven't been here in 20 years and it's exactly as I remembered. Best service I'd any restaurant and the food quality and presentation is exceptional. It's a must do when in New Orleans.
Opentable Diner
Food and service were both good no complaints. We were there for our 27th anniversary, noted that on the reservation, nothing was done to recognize our special day. The daughter is a vegetarian, ordered a potato dish that never arrived; however, we were charged for it had to call that to their attention and the item was removed. The main dining area was full; the noise level was very loud.

The vibe was fantastic - felt like a night out in New Orleans - loud but fun. Food was ok to good. Escargot - skip, not much taste, Duck was overcooked but the wine sauce was very good. Husband had oysters and said they were pretty good and red fish that was very good. With so many wonderful places to eat in the Quarter we will probably not be back.

Excellent food and service. We look forward to returning next year when we visit New Orleans again
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff were incredibly attentive without being intrusive, and every dish was a masterpiece—beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh and high-quality. Our Waiter was great, I can't remember her name (my appologies) but our reservation was under my husband's name Emilio Lopez at 8:30 pm on 10/20/25. She was lovely and absolutely phenomenal! Very friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu—offering great recommendations that made the meal even more enjoyable. Amazing food, impeccable service, and a delightful ambiance make this restaurant a must-visit. Five stars all around!

Excellent servers that adjusted well to my pace. Appreciated their suggestions and information about the food and drinks.

The food was excellent. We wish the service was more attentive. It felt as though others around us were better served. It is a very loud room.

Food was good service not so great too many different people waiting on 2 of us. Had to ask 3 times for a ice bucket.
