We have previously been to the Empire Bar for cocktails and have loved them. We looked forward to returning, but were surely disappointed by the happy hour drinks. The barman did not measure anything, or shake them on ice, so they were warm and almost undrinkable. Please bring back the young staff to make great cocktails, rather than the ad hoc, throw it in a glass and hope, approach to drink making!

Antoinette waited on us at the bar and I cannot say enough amazing things about her. She had a ton of knowledge about how to spend our time in New Orleans. She was so attentive and helpful. The food was amazing and there was no way to finish it all. Definitely recommend not only Broussard's but sit at the bar with Antoinette. You will not be disapponted.
There's not much to say; that has not already been said about this institution of old New Orleans. Broussard's was and is one of the top dining experiences. You won't be sorry.
It was our first time in New Orleans and my daughters bachelorette party. One of her requests was a jazz brunch and after careful research I picked Broussards and they did not disappoint. Monique and Lionel were our hosts and they were both gracious and accommodating in every aspect. The live jazz music was perfect. The food was delicious and did not disappoint . Everyone in our party was able to enjoy something they wanted to try while in New Orleans. Thank you to Broussards and the staff for making our first visit to New Orleans a memorable one! We will be back.
I was there 20 years ago and had great memories of the experience. This time it seemed like nothing went right. Ordered drinks and when we requested a second round the drinks we recieved were different. They had screwed up and gave us the wrong ones on the first order. The food was good but had dinner at Arnaud's the previous night and it was a disappointment not going back. It seemed like we always had to look for a waitress and I wasn't even able to get a water glass refilled. It was a disappointment. Go to Arnaud's and you won't be disappointed.
I had the pork chop and it was very tasty. The accompanying kale was flavored with bacon and reminiscent of collard greens which I love. Wonderful Southern charm and the service was pretty good.
My wife and I had a very enjoyable experience at Broussards this month as part of our annual holiday. Karnessa and David served us and were great fun, attentive and professional, The cocktails ( Hurricane and Ramos Gin Fizz) were exceptional and had a chance to talk to the barman before we left. The food was great - Drum excellent.
Went for jazz brunch during coolinary season! :-) Food was like B+ tier across the board. Delicious, but nothing that was like... I'd die to come back for haha. The jazz trio was absolutely lovely. The service was super prompt and the team there is super sweet. Really cool place.
Service was over the top. The staff was amazing! The French bread upon arrival was greatly appreciated. We started with the oyster appetizer which was awesome. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection. The pork chop was amazing. The duck was great and the rice with it was outstanding! Loved our dinner
Steve and Lydia were our servers and they were fantastic! Food, ambiance and service was great. Took the mains a like time to come out but we were in no hurry. The jazz music was fun and entertaining. Will definately return!

Went to the Jazz Brunch, our waiter was excellent (I believe it was Michael) I know he said he was from Texas. Our glasses of our table never went empty and the food was amazing. The party of 6 that I booked the table for couldn't stop talking about the food, the music, and the great service we received.
Everything was amazing. The staff, the jazz players, everyone. We could not have asked for a better experience or a yummier brunch. We will definitely be coming back here. All the staff was so kind and also personable. The manager came over as well and checked in on us, we felt so comfortable, like well cared for visiting relatives. The jazz players played a song for us by the Beatles. Afterwards, we started chatting, I mentioned our song was "and I love her" and that it was our anniversary and within minutes they played it for us. It was the most memorable and magical part of our stay in the French Quarter. Thank you.
Our bartender was AMAZING!! I cannot say enough, good things about her. Unfortunately, we cannot remember her name, but she was a professional, friendly, funny, everything a bar would want in a bartender/server. She h also was kind enough to help us find our way to our hotel and make sure that we got there safely because we were walking.  my wife has owned restaurants and she was so impressed with this young woman. She had an outstanding personality! You're lucky to have her!
What a great experience. The food is fantastic. The service is attentive. The jazz performers come to each table and will perform a fun song of your choosing or they can pick one for you. My friends and I loved it. I would come back again.
Finding great food in New Orleans is easy. Broussard's gives you great food and an even greater dining experience. The people are great and make you feel like part of the family. They never disappoint.
