It'd been at least 20 years since we were last here, so it was wonderful to see they're still a special treat. The gumbo is spectacular (my wife is from Louisiana, so she knows gumbo), the pecan fish is outstanding, as is the quail. The...shuffles are to die for. The service is old-world excellent. The ambiance of the garden room can't be beat. Commander's palace is the excuse you need to go to New Orleans.More

Our family was celebrating nephew's graduations from Tulane with both MD and PhD Medical School. Our brother arranged for a private dining experience in the wine cellar. From start to finish the entire evening was beyond compare. Between our arrival at 6:30 PM and our...departure at 11:30 PM the entire staff was involved in making sure our evening was a 5 Star Experience. Everyone on staff was involved in one way or another in either food preparation or food delivery, this was truly one of the best experiences of our lives.More

Jazz Brunch at Commander’s Palace — What a fun, delicious experience! Starting with warm, welcoming staff; then colorful balloons decorating tables; a great jazz group; lovely, attentive table service; tasty cocktails; and, of course, ample good food. We had a group of 11 and everyone...was happy with their food. Choices were: shrimp and tasso henican; turtle soup; melon cucumber salad; gumbo; pork belly cinnamon roll; pecan crusted fish; jerk pork; catfish; beef tournedos; fancy French toast; shrimp tamale; bread pudding souffle; rum cake; cheesecake; praline parfait; pecan pie; creme de menthe ice cream; bloody Mary; peach Bellini. It was a wonderful, joyful, New Orleans experience we would happily repeat.More

Steve , the person who answers the phone , is the one you have to make reservations with and he discriminates and will not allow anyone he does not like to come eat there.

Everything was excellent, from the moment we walked up until the moment we left. Greeted by at friendly doorman as we walked up to the restaurant. Then at the reception desk we were greeted again by a very welcoming host and receptionist. Our wait staff...was efficient, competent and attentive. We had the crawfish strudel, gumbo and cucumber and melon salad to start and then the pecan crusted fish of the day, the seared red fish and crawfish and the shrimp with risotto. All the dishes were delicious.More

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner here. We were warmly welcomed and shown to a great table in the main dining room. My fish and my husband's shrimp dinner were both delicious as was the fabulous cheesecake we shared for dessert.

We were apprehensive to go here at first because friends from New Orleans had heard it may have been under new management and changed. That's all I can say is this restaurant was fantastic. The food was incredible and so was the service. I would...come back in a heartbeat. It is not easy to get reservations but is is so worth it. It was the highlight dining experience of our New Orleans trip.More

Absolutely fantastic for our group of 6! The service, the setting, and the food were all superb. Attentive service, excellent suggestions, well worth every penny. We had the beef filet (cooked to perfection), the pecan encrusted fish (really good!), and risotto with delicious shrimp. Strawberry...shortcake, cheesecake, bread pudding soufflé, again, fantastic. Highly recommend the entire experience!! Treat yourself to a beautiful meal!More

This place was amazing from the moment we walked in. Every employee was friendly and kind. The food was outstanding. From the appetizers to dessert we loved everything. The strawberry shortcake was perfect! The biscuit were crunchy in the outside but soft in the inside....The strawberries were fresh and the cream was homemade.More

Overall we had a lovely dinner. At first, they seated us in this weird half round table upstairs- the table is too high for the bench, and my husband and friend were very uncomfortable. I didn’t like them either but I wasn’t in restrictive pants...with my knees up. We asked our server if we could have a more comfortable table- he checked but said no. A few minutes later, my friend approached another person (the manager..?) and they moved us downstairs, which worked perfectly. After that the night was great. The somm was fun and very knowledgeable- he picked us two different bottles in our price point (which wasn’t high) and they were both excellent. The crawfish bisque was extremely salty so we didn’t all eat it. The other food was all very good. Strawberry shortcake with Chantelle cream was crazy good. I had been before and sat in the courtyard- I think I enjoyed sitting outside more to sitting inside.More

We had a large group in an upstairs room with cash bar and set menu. Appetizers and food were excellent. Service was wonderful. Overall it was a great experience. Would highly recommend for a party.

Not very impressed. Went with friends for lunch, there was a mix up on drinks where a non alcoholic order was served incorrectly with an alcoholic order, then the waiter expected me to drink the already partially used drink. They charged us for 2 nonalcoholic...drinks and never brought another drink that was ordered. Food is pretty old school. A lot of hype and they’re clearly a New Orleans institution but I would not go back again.More
