    I’ve been going to Broussard’s since I was a little girl. My dad and I would come here when visiting family in New Orleans and it was our place. This was the first year I came here with my fiancé and got to tell him stories of my dad. The food has always been wonderful, the memories, delightful.

    First time we dined at Arnaud’s Jazz Bistro and it was definitely one of the best dining experiences I had in a long time. This is southern hospitality at its best. Starting with the host and everybody that stop by the table to make sure we were having a great experience. Food was phenomenal, baked oysters the best we have had, the soufflé potatoes blew me away something so simple but yet so delicious. The Amandine which was Crisply fried Trout almond Topped with sliced almonds and Lemon Butter Sauce just amazing. Again everything was perfect from the staff, the food the music. We were celebrating my birthday and anniversary and they made sure to get the jazz group to sing for us and as a gift a mini baked Alaska which was a great touch to end our dinner. Will be back for sure!

    Overall this was a very good experience. The restaurant is nicely laid out. There was music on the patio. The service was excellent. We started with the Crackins' and Caviar (1 caviar, 4 roes) which was very good. We had the blue Cheese salad which could have been excellent but it had too much dressing and got a bit soggy. We ended with the crispy duck with a side of brussel sprouts. Both were very good with the slight exception of the pieces of sliced duck which, weirdly, was too salty. The leg that was on the plate was perfect. We have no idea why the breast part was salty. Overall, I'd eat there again as the menu has a lot to try.

    Quiet and intimate atmosphere and a peaceful and slow surrounding neighborhood. Everyone was friendly and insightful and the food was amazing. Lowcountry Shrimp and grits 10/10 Waffle Du Jour 8/10 (super sweet but I know some folks go for that so may be 10/10 for you!)
