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.

Although not for the budget minded client, Commander's Place is a lovely, charming and special place to enoy a dinner with friends and family. The food and service is actually worth the price. It is THE place to dine if you are in New Orleans.

We have to go to Commanders whenever we are in NOLA! Attentive professional staff and beautiful space. Food Is great. We have been lucky to have Mary at the helm on our last two visits- she is top notch. The Garden District is a nice place for a stroll before or after lunch. Wear something nice and enjoy a great...

The quality of the food is simply excellent. There is an overt effort made by the staff to see that anything that you want is possible. There is a very nice courtyard in the middle of the place where one can both see a great garden or catch a smoke. It is a little difficult to find so it might... More

The service is exceptional and the food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was as excepted for a nice restaurant. I was told I had to order soft shell crab, but unfortunately they were not available on my visit. Went with the whole snapper and loved it. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. I will definitely come back the next... More

Commander's Palace is a must visit when in New Orleans. We opted for the Chef's table, an eight course feast that depends entirely on the Chef's whim. Let me just say that eight courses is not for whimps; I was ready to throw in the towel after the fourth course. I am glad I persevered, though, because this was a... More
