Loved this place! I have never had service like this in a restaurant. It is no wonder why it has won awards. Outstanding!

Given all the times we've visited NOLA, it's funny that we never tried Commander's Palace, so this trip it was a must visit; and we're delighted that we did. Some might find it pretentious given its insistence on a dress code (I enjoy that -- who wants to spend a lovely evening out sitting next to someone who thinks sweat... More

Commander's Palace is a legend in this city for good reason. The chef's that have been trained and nutured in this kitchen - from Paul Prudhomme and Ermil LaGasse - are among America's best. Nothing has changed in the last 40 years. It is still one of the best with a unique but calssic French/Creole menu, excellent service and ambiance.... More

We went as a large group and the service fantastic. There are lots of great local dishes to try. This place has been around for a long time and highly regarded by our local friends who said it's the finest in New Orleans. We got to try most of the items on the menu and everything was excellent. It's also... More

We ate here twice on our visit to NOLA and experienced the ultimate in dining, for dinner and jazz brunch. The food here is excellent from the turtle soup, gumbo, smoked salmon carpaccio, shrimp remoulade, red fish, to the bread pudding soufflé and strawberry shortcake. Our favorite dish was the whole snapper that was cooked to perfection. What sets this... More

We have been coming to New Orleans for 4 years and finally made it to the Sunday Jazz Brunch at this historic site. I had all the great dishes - Turtle Soup, Duck duck goose and the must have soufflé bread pudding. Amazing! The jazz band played on while we enjoyed this great meal. The service and hospitality is world... More

I tend to focus on food when I rate restaurants as I have had some of my best dining experiences in fairly casual settings. But if you love the idea of dining at Downton Abbey, Commander's Palace clearly has trained its staff to be attentive and unobtrusive, and only at your side when you think you need something. It is... More

Service is top notch, food is excellent, considering the fact you get to choose an appetizer,entree and desert for brunch makes the cost a little more reasonable. But it is still expensive. Free valet parking. Make reservations! Menu is available online. Dress is business casual (no shorts) collared shirts.
