    This is the 6th year in a row that we visit Arnaud's between Christmas and New Years and it NEVER disappoints. Creative cocktails, a menu that has phenomenal appetizers (crab cakes are incredible, potato souffle to die for, salads awesome) and entrees were a huge hit, 3 seafood dishes and one beef). Then the Brulot as desert was the finisher to an incredible dinner. The team that managed our table, Charles and Joseph, were excellent. Lots of good conversation between us and the guys, Just a 5 star night once again. Once slight complaint, corkage for bringing your own wine is overpriced. They have a great wine list but should not overcharge if one brings their own (can in New Orleans) Will be here again next year and thank you Arnauid's

    We visited here 3 times whilst in New Orleans and loved it each time. Arthur served us at the bar the first 2 times, he makes amazing cocktails and the cracklins on the menu is delicious. Very friendly and chilled. We then ate brunch on our last day and Nico served us, he was so sweet and kind and made sure we enjoyed everything. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys. The food is tasty and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed. Great spot to chill out in.

    We (7 of us) ate at Luke on Christmas Day. We were seated near the door which wasn’t ideal but wasn’t bad. The streetcar periodically going by made the noise level high because of our proximity to the door. The service was excellent in spite of it being a holiday and the restaurant being packed. The menu had nice variety. The two best items we had were the Crispy Brussel Sprouts and the Matzo Ball Soup. The worst thing we had was the Hanger Steak. It was ordered “medium” and came out bleeding. It was also rubbery. We returned it and that person ordered something else. They were completely okay with this and removed it from the bill. The Trout Almandine was good with the fish being extremely fresh. We recommend Luke and will return.

    Our waiter, Kenneth, was excellent… he made a nice meal and evening thoroughly enjoyable! Will definitely ask for him when we return… The food was very good… surprisingly, both the hostess and Kenneth recommended the deviled eggs for a starter. They were spot on… The menu was their Christmas special menu with several items to choose from for each course. A wine paring was offered which we took. The wines were nice.

    Had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner at The Palace Cafe. The interior was gorgeously decorated for the holidays. The crabmeat cheesecake really is out of this world. The bread pudding was also a stand out! Impeccable service too!
