Good food and service but overrated. I live in San Francisco area so we have classy restaurants but they are very warm, friendly and welcoming to all. This place felt like a rich-folks eatery in a plantation-of-the-past for few reasons. Not sure if it's by accident or by design that we could not help notice, that every server in upstairs Garden room except for one lady was white and all African Americans were in black attires bringing food from kitchen to a corner, with no interaction with any customer (Photos attached). After watching it for a while, it just felt wrong, and we wanted to finish and leave quickly and not patronize this business anymore. Also, (this happened with us) watch-out for undertones of disapproval and passive aggressive rudeness with a smile if you try to change the table they designate for you. Feels like the ambience is fake and is unpalatable literally. Our 1st and last visit to Commander's Palace.
PS. They have such a great opportunity to recognize, understand, appreciate, respect and embrace diversity to rewrite history of Louisiana. Hope they evolve some day.
