Service

"You get what you pay for" at this "posh" "den" of "French-infused" "elegance" attached to Arnaud's restaurant in the Quarter, where "professor-level bartender" Chris Hannah creates a "magical experience" with "crazy good classic cocktails" ( "order the French 75, of course" ); part "cigar bar" , the "intimate" confines are an ideal place to "kick off or end a classy evening" that feels "worlds away from the bro-fest of Bourbon."

I do not understand the 4-5 star ratings. The gumbo and warm bread were the only items we enjoyed. Both fish (different) dishes were bland. We had better creamed spinach at your average diner. We won't mention the hearing challenged waiter who practically was screaming at us the specials of the day nor his lovely long and dirty fingernails. Clearly, management is asleep at this "upscale" establishment. Don't bother looking for quality or creative cooking here. Upscale it is not! Suggest traveling outside the "tourist zone".

Nice upscale setting with exceptionally friendly staff. Don't let the upscale setting put you off, we were dressed down and tired after a long day of sightseeing and received a very friendly welcome. Would recommend you give it a try.

Great spot to have a drink. The French75 cocktail is very good. A bit disapointed by the band. I was expecting a real jazz band. No real jazz music in the city of jazz... even if the 3 guys was playing well.
