I have eaten here many times, and I made sure to bring my wife here on her first trip to NOLA. Unfortunately the service was subpar. We ordered drinks and my wife got hers but mine never arrived. I finally had to ask somebody to check on my drink. Once we finished our entrées to when we got the check took almost 45 minutes. This was due to nobody coming back to check on us. Even after desert we waited 15 minutes to get the check which was not even correct. The check had on it our side dish that never had came, and when I pointed out that we were charged for the dish the waitress just said OK let me correct it. No apologies for the mistake, just walked away and brought it back. I will probably go back one more time but a place of this caliber should never have bad service. The staff is such an important part of the dining experience. The food can be outstanding but if your servers are not bringing their A game(or B game) then the dining experience is going to suffer.

Easily lives up to it's reputation as one of the best countries in US. And very reasonably priced for the level of service and the quality of food and wine. This was my 5th time here and it always exceeds expectations! The Turtle Soup, any fish entree, and the bread pudding would let any person die happy! You're also not going to go wrong with anything else! Enjoy!

Underdelivered on my expectations. I waited seven years to try out Commanders Palace and among the plethora of restaurants that offer creole cuisine you can find in New Orleans, there are other restaurants I would recommend over this restaurant that are more budget friendly and have better food. However, the staff was nice and as a woman.. was always taken care of first over the men at the table and that was noticed. Drinks were made perfectly. Food selection was lack luster and unfortunately… a side I had ordered was not brought out to me during my time there. Overall I believe you are mainly paying for aesthetic when coming here.
