    We had a reservation. Showed up ten minutes late and we called to let them know. Had to wait for a table. Hostess seemed annoyed with us. When seated, the room is beautiful and jazz band was a nice accent to the mood. Service was so so. Waiter couldn't describe a wine we were going to order and tried to remove plate before done eating. Took a while to receive drinks. Most Food portions were small and just ok. The baked oysters were very good.

    Was given the wrong meal (didn’t realize until a few bites in) and the side for the table was forgotten about until the end of the meal. No apologies or adjustments on the bill. Additionally the jazz music in the dining is a nice touch but they don’t let you know there’s a charge for it until you see it on your bill. Food overall was good quality but service overall was fair at best

    The shrimp Arnaud was underwhelming. It tasted like tuna fish with dijon mustard. Not entirely sure why it’s a signature dish? The veal and souffle potatoes were amazing, but oversalted. The veal was cooked to perfection and tasted like a salisbury steak. The jazz band came by our table once the entire evening. The wait staff was very attentive but I did feel rushed throughout my dining experience. Not sure if I would return for a second time.

    A wonderful true New Orleans experience. The jazz music is top-notch, the service is incredible, and the food is chef kiss. A must try is the turtle soup and souffle potatoes. Enjoy!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Arnaud’s Jazz Bistro. The food was excellent and the staff were all incredibly attentive - especially Bailey, Judith, and Cosette. The musicians, led by trumpet player Catie Rodgers, were talented and personable, going around to the different tables to chat with diners and play special requests. The atmosphere while “fancy” was never overwhelming or stuffy.
