Sure its old school. If you want some wi-fi hotspot with cheap food and stoopid waitpersons, you wouldn't be looking here anyway. great appetizzers, entrees, desserts and drinks. more

A New Orleans must! Located in the Garden District. It's pricey, but it's worth the royal treatment. The quail entree scared me at first but found it superb. The bread pudding with whiskey sauce is to die for. Make sure you request the main dining room otherwise you'll be seated in the gazebo. Not the same experience. Watch out for... more

Amazing!

This place is expensive and when I am eating expensive food I want it to be great. Commanders Palace food is very average. I would never spend the money to go here again. Just simply not worth it. I think this place really survives on it's name and that's about it. Although, I have to say the service and the... more

I have never been treated better than when I dined at Commander's Palace Sunday Jazz Brunch. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and whatever you do, get the Bread Pudding Souffle. It is simply divine. Brunch was so delicious, we had to take a nap afterward. more

We sat in the outdoor courtyard for a lovely late Sunday lunch/brunch. They had a great trio of musicians performing. Set menu from which you have a choice of several items for each course. I had mimosas, spinach salad, apple pecan flapjacks (insanely good, my favorite course), and bread pudding. The coffee was amazing too, even better than Peets and... more

We have been to New Orleans so many times but have never made a point of going here for the traditional Sunday Brunch until our last trip. So glad we finally did - we loved everything about it! The servers, the live music, the atmosphere, the drinks, the food - EVERYTHING!! Between the 5 of us we tried the following:... more

Good food, but very attitudinal service. "Martini lunch" is now available all over N.O. - their sister restaurant Adelaide's does a much, much better job all around. Bacco and Antoine's are other good choices for 'martini lunch' or dinner. more

The ambiance is that of a seriously fancy, if somewhat stuffy, place. The service is impeccable. The food is excellent. (Side note: deserts are very sweet, and things listed as "spicy" are not that hot.) Commander's palace is a serious splurge, but is generally worth it. The only thing that we found lacking is the jazz. A trio of musicians... more
