Great experience. We visited Tableau for the first time. We sat at the bar and had a a drink ahead of our 5:45 pm dinner reservation. Bartender Derek took care of us. My wife had a canned Mockly mocktail and I had a Woodford Old Fashioned. She enjoyed her mocktail and my Old Fashioned was decent. We were seated near the kitchen. It was really cold in this area. Thankfully, we both brought light jackets with us. The head waiter (young man in a suit) had the aircon adjusted and it did get better. Newell was our server. What a peach. She said she's been at Tableau since they opened in 2013. She took good care of us. My wife ordered the Chicken Tableau dinner. I ordered the Maison Salad and the French Onion Soup. My wife enjoyed her meal. I sampled the crispy chicken thigh portion of her meal and it was quite tasty. My salad was smallish and looked pretty wimpy but the dressing was real nice and I liked the nuts on the salad. The standout for me, by far was the French Onion Soup. It was the second best I've ever had. The onions were well caramelized, the broth was deep with flavor and the cheese great. The portion was quite large as well. Quite a value in my opinion and honestly, paired with the salad was plenty of food for me. A loaf of soft bread with whipped butter was served at the beginning. Miss Jewell did a good job of serving and checking in on us. I will definitely be back to Tableau on our next visit to NOLA. read more

Tableau has that nice, classic French Quarter charm.The white tablecloths, warm lighting, and even balcony views overlooking Jackson Square all added to its beauty. Service was smooth and attentive, and everything came out at a good pace. I ordered the duck and andouille gumbo and it was just okay. It had that smoky, rich flavor you expect from a Creole gumbo, but nothing that really stood out. The BBQ shrimp and grits were also just okay. The dish had that buttery, garlicky sauce and creamy grits, but overall it didn't feel very memorable. For dessert, the chocolate torte was way too sweet for me. It was dense and rich, but leaned heavily on the sugary side and didn't have much balance. Overall, a great ambiance and solid service, but the food didn't quite live up to expectations for me. read more

When we walked into the restaurant, the hostess was very icy- I felt judged walking in. The waiter wasn't the nicest either. The steak I ordered, granted it was $54, was very chewy and almost had a gamey taste. All of our dishes were luke-warm and pretty much average. The restaurant is in the Jackson square, there is a lot of construction going on around the restaurant. read more

This was a trip for my wife (NOLA virgin) and some close friends of ours. This trip was planned well in advance, and I used the Chase Sapphire Dinner Collection to book and secure the reservation weeks in advance. Soon after the reservation was secured, I received emails stating the dress code policy and its strict adherence. Based on these emails and reviews, we were excited to dress up and have a lovely date night and dinner. Boy was I shocked. Imagine my surprise to walk in and see table after table of young guys in shorts and sneakers (a big no no according to the stated policy) and the table immediately next to us were several rowdy and rambunctious guys with backwards ball caps on their heads. Now, if this was the expectation, I would have no objection. But to plan an evening dressed up for the town, then sit next to frat boys. Not what I was expecting, nor would I have booked. On the rooms and atmosphere: we were immediately taken to the back, upstairs section of the restaurant. Not knowing anything about the layout, I was hesitant to ask about this section. Big mistake. We felt as if we were brushed aside and forgotten about. Exceedingly long times between order and delivery. Missed and mistaken orders seemed to be the normal. While the food was ok... it was just that. Ok. So, my recommendation is to avoid this if you think you will have a romantic, civil evening. My suggestion would be to go to Antoine's. I would like to update/ edit this review. When it comes to food, I will say the quality, presentation, and taste is excellent. Well above average. The rather unfortunate atmosphere, the non polished wait staff, and the layout of the restaurant severely diminish the overall rating. I do hope this clarifies the overall critique. read more

I had the French onion soup which was delicious! I also had a Caesar salad which was good but small for the price. I was able to sit upstairs on the balcony which was fun. Service was fantastic. I will definitely go back there when I'm in NOLA again! read more

We started coming here for Mother's Day a couple years ago and every year it gets better. The service is always lovely and bright. They had a jazz group playing at a nice volume and the ambiance felt very Nola without being too intense. The fried fish sandwich was the best ever! Fried to perfection. The apple dessert really stood out and was something I've never had before. I appreciate that the menu changes slightly but they keep some staples around. We will keep returning for Mother's Day brunch. read more

My family and I visited the restaurant for Mother's Day and had a great experience with outstanding customer service. We were greeted upon arrival. They offered a selection of fresh bouquet flowers sponsored by Hendrick's Gin, which guests can either create themselves or choose pre-arranged. I enjoyed the steak and eggs for brunch, accompanied by grilled shrimp. The highlight was the banana foster, prepared to order at our table. I will certainly return. read more

We hadn't been to Tableau for dinner in a long time. Oh! How remiss we have been! Perched on the corner of Jackson Square, we often pop in to the upstairs bar for a cocktail or a snack, but not for dinner. This visit, we had the Chicken Tableau and the Andouille Encrusted Fish (Drum). Both dishes were remarkable! What a treat! We decided the fish was the Superstar, but the chicken was perfectly prepared and delicious. A friend ordered the duck and said it was perfect. Service was attentive and charming and the atmosphere is peak New Orleans. We are going back ASAP! read more

Let me start with the good. The customer service, the servers attending the group even were outstanding, knowledgeable and friendly. The ambiance was old school New Orleans and antiquated. The food...... yeah duck gumbo that was tasty but served lukewarm. Salads that were warm and not chilled, and BBQ shrimp and grits that tasted more like shrimp coated in vinegary Tabasco sauce. We had a custard dessert that light but bland. It was a catered group event. Although the customer service was great, until that menu improves I'll have to hold off on coming back. read more

Came here to celebrate my friend. They were having a special of $0.75 French 75s! (Limit 3 per person) They brought out warm French bread with butter. Warm bread is ALWAYS a win. We ordered the crab dip. I wasn't a fan. My friends liked it tho. Not seafoody enough for me. I had a the burger. I ordered it medium. It came out well done and dry. Should have sent it back. My friend had the steak and eggs which was also ordered medium. Also came out well done. Why even ask?? The atmosphere was great though. It was a beautiful day. We were on the second floor. They opened all the doors and let the breeze blow in. There was music playing down below which was very nice background music. Could see the people walking and mingling outside. There was potential but overall the food was a let down. read more

Call to support businesses affected by the fences in the Quarter-162 days and counting... Poor Tableau was a ghost town yesterday for an 11am seating but that did not deter staff from delivering a wonderful experience! We were fortunate to take in perfect weather in the courtyard protected by shade and soothed by the bubbling fountain nearby. House sparrows flitted across the slab looking for tiny crumbs. Keely was our delightful server, keeping drinks flowing and answering questions to ensure a perfect meal. We began with the platter featuring shrimp salad, blue crab fondue and truffled crab claws. Oh momma. After all that cheese a lighter main seemed a good choice so I ordered the fried oyster salad with a side of poached egg. My egg was overdone so using the yolk for additional dressing didn't come to fruition but the extra protein was delicious anyways. The salad is very lightly dressed so if you love sauce like I do, extra dressing might be the key. Oysters were seasoned and fried perfectly and I ate every single one. A really nice morning and dining experience, so go to Tableau and support your neighbors and industry folks! read more

An amazing place with even more amazing staff. We came here for a quiet lunch for our anniversary. Jewel was our server and she was phenomenal !! 4 stars to her for her personality and flair. She talked with us and jokes around, she made our anniversary special. We really thank her for going above and beyond to Mae us feel welcome. Now the food: I can not say enough for that food. It was delicious, and takes the New Orleans flavor up a notch. This place gives you a spectacular experience with nice ambiance. If you can ask to sit in the courtyard, it just feels like you are in your own world, not beep in the heart of the bustling city. Take you time and enjoy. read more

Slow service, but the food was amazing. This may have been a one-off but they made up for it by giving us complementary chocolate mousse. I know you're probably like, tuh, chocolate mousse, but hear me out. The texture, little scoop of ice cream on top, and the blackberry compote made it the best thing I've ever eaten. I would have never thought to order that in my own, so I'm glad they offered it. The brown butter gnocchi is the best appetizer, please order! The bread was just meh, but even though we had to wait the server was kind and friendly. There was also a strolling singing quarter that made the mood in the restaurant upbeat and fun. I'll be back and I suggest you go! read more

I was in town for work and wanted to come back here. I've always had great dinners here. The place gets booked up quickly, so get reservations. The restaurant is nice and this time we sat in the courtyard, since we arrived before our reservation and the host said we could sit there. Service of course is always top notch, and the manager came to check on us during our dinner. We had the sampler appetizer and we both had the lambshank. Both were good, but nothing outstanding as I had previously here. The lamb shank was dry and slightly overcooked. I will definately come back, hopefully next time the food will be better. read more

Well we came for the "Fence" 75s. French 75 is in my top 3 cocktails, so I was drawn to the deal with the construction going on. They were perfect, both the gin and cognac options. We were seated upstairs and jazz music from the street below drifted up to enhance the experience. We ordered the crab fondue to share. It wasn't very crabby but it reminded me of an elevated pot pie filling. For my entree, I chose the steak and eggs at medium temperature. It appeared almost well done but I was starving and didn't feel like waiting for a remake. The portion was satisfying though. Drinks were great! Food was ok! read more

Discovered Tableau from TikTok and I'm so glad we made it for dinner! The ambience in the restaurant gives off fancy so we felt a bit underdressed. However, once we sat outside there were other parties that weren't as dressed up which made us feel relieved. Recommendation for seating per TT was outdoor patio to enjoy the sunset view and live performance from locals in Jackson Square. Definitely call for reservations to ensure you get that seating! Although our sunset view was disrupted from the clouds seeing and hearing the live music was what we thoroughly enjoyed giving us the pure NOLA experience. We ordered Baked Goat Cheese, Browned Butter Gnocchi, and Shrimp & Grits. Goat cheese was a little more pungent to the palate than I was expecting but still a great app for a group. (It was just me eating it) Browned Butter Gnocchi was pillowy soft, great flavor especially with the sage, and my husband had the Shrimp & Grits. He could not rave enough about the shrimp's size and flavor! Grits were interesting and he's glad he tried but wouldn't prefer again. Overall, our dinner was deliciously memorable and the service was excellent. Pricing was not crazy expensive and we'd absolutely come back here again. read more

I had a light dinner at the bar. Located near Jackson Square, the service is always impeccable. Host is always welcoming and accommodating whether I have reservations or not. This is one of my goto places when I am doing a day trip coming from Pensacola. And my go to items is the turtle soup. Remember, always ask for sherry to top it. There is a dinning room that wraps around to the main dining with the view of the kitchen. They also have private dining room upstairs. Also the is a balcony for dining. There is also a central courtyard. Note, there is a community theater next door. So if there is a show, there is always a theater crowd around the bar ordering drinks while waiting for the show to start. This was the only downfall sitting at the bar for a meal. I was surrounded with people breathing on top of me ordering wine or cocktail while we sat and tried to enjoy our meal. If it wasn't for this, I would have given them a 5 stars. My advice, if you are to sit at the bar, ask the host if there is a show happening next door. I have been here before, and their Shrimp and Grits was yummy too. Also I like their gumbo. read more

We originally picked this location because we wanted a balcony dinner at sunset. One of our party members ended up needing to sit inside instead and the wait staff were very helpful in accommodating our needs. I thoroughly enjoyed my french onion soup and the crème brûlée is meant to be shared (it was so big!) Someone in our party was vegan was thoroughly disappointed with the salad she ordered. Really wish there was a more well rounded option, especially given the prices. Aside from that, we did enjoy our time here! read more

This restaurant is right off Jackson Square. Unfortunately, there is construction right around the restaurant at the moment. But, we were able to get in without a problem. We were greeted warmly in the beautiful restaurant. We were seated upstairs on the balcony, overlooking the square. Our server was very outgoing and friendly. We chatted and got our orders in. She brought us warm, fresh bread with butter. We also ordered the brown butter gnocchi to start. It's a small plate with just a few gnocchi and it was amazing! It was suggested we soak up the butter with the bread and we absolutely did! My husband got the seafood bouillabasse and loved it. He did say he wished there was more fish, but then he said it was just the right amount. As he was full but not overly stuffed. I got the Chicken Tableau, which is a roasted chicken breast and a fried chicken thigh over potatoes. This was also extremely delicious. Because we were celebrating my husband's birthday, we did get a surprise dessert! It was a dish orlf a very thin creme bruelle. It was just enough for dessert after all the awesome food we had. Check them out! read more

I'm very happy with the outcome of my experience here. I was a bit skeptical bc we couldn't find reservations anywhere but this place had an opening. It was a bit of a wait for seating outside on the balcony on 2nd floor but only for about 15 minutes. It was a cloudy day and a random outing to NOLA from Mobile but turned out to be sunny and nice! Perfect lunch outside for my son's 15th birthday. All the appetizers were delicious! From the complimentary warm bread, to the glazed pork belly app, blue crab fondue (my favorite) and truffle crab claws. Server noticed I ate all my crostinis for the crab dip and offered to bring me more. A lot more! So generous. Entrees ordered were chicken tableau and pork chop which were both very good. My son's crème brûlée was served differently from up north which was a nice different touch. It was wider and flatter but easier to share. I would def return to Tableu next time when In the area. Oh! Four stars is bc the bathroom was so far from our table, also very filthy, and all toilets backed up except for one. Wasn't sure if I was stepping on pee or leaking toilet or what. Otherwise, food and service gets five stars. read more

We were headed towards Jackson Square and decided to rest our feet and have a snack. We were passing Tableau and it looked like a good option. We decided to sit at the bar and we could see people passing by through the nearby windows. There is balcony seating but we didn't know that until later. Bet it's nice up there. We opted for truffle crab claws to try an authentic local dish. I can't say they were my fav but they looked pretty and I was happy to try something new. Our bar tender offered us some warm bread as well. Staff was welcoming and eager to help us. Great stop. read more

Brunch stop with friends. This well known spot sits close to Jackson Square. No street parking due to location and construction this day. We parked, then walked. Based on reputation alone, I recommend making a reservation. We arrived soon as they opened and had to wait for our table. No problem though since we were allowed to entertain ourselves at the bar until then. The French 75 was only 75 cents this Sunday (limit 3). My friends enjoyed, said they tasted great. Bartender was also great. We sat in the beautiful, serene courtyard, perfect weather. Our server was very attentive and accommodating, able to make suggestions. For starters we had the crabmeat cheesecake and fried oyster pan roast. The cheesecake was topped with crab claws and full of crabmeat. I thought the texture and flavor would be weird, but the flavors and texture paired well. The oysters for the pan roast had a cornmeal texture and fried well. The apples and sauce were a delicious base for this dish. For entrees, all but one ordered the gulf fish almondine. The fish was cooked perfectly, crispy outside, fluffy inside. The almonds were a little overcooked. Overall, we all felt the dish lacked flavor. Not seasoned with anything. I asked for a sauce to hopefully add something but to no avail. I didn't want to complain, so I just kept my dish. They forgot our one different entrees, so we had to wait for it to be prepared. As a courtesy, my friend was given the duck and andouille gumbo while waiting. She was appreciative, but only ate two bites. We all tried it and were not fans of it. Her entree finally came, the steak and eggs. She said the steak temp was correct and taste was just okay. Everything else on the plate was delicious and well cooked. There was a jazz ensemble that made for a pleasant afternoon. Recommend trying at least once. read more

Tableau - Bar and dining room - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Tableau is the place to go if you want to feel like family, be embraced by a gorgeous atmosphere, and eat amazing food. I went here for my birthday with my family on somewhat of a whim. None of us have ever heard of it before and aren't local, but we were able to secure a reservation and thought them menu seemed good enough. Wow did I underestimate it. Upon entering the two hosts were extremely welcoming and kind and even got us sat early since we got there a little before our reservation time. The whole venue is gorgeous but I really recommend upstairs. The inside is warm and cozy while still feeling luxurious, and the outside balcony has the true energy that embodies all of New Orleans. You can't go wrong. We received some fresh French bread and butter which was simple and effective. We ate probably three loaves of it, it's what you think bread should really taste like. Our server Ruby deserves a whole review of its own but simply put, they were AMAZING. We didn't need to ask for anything, we were treated with continuous kindness, and she was hysterical making us feel at home. It is some of the most fun I've ever had in an upscale dining experience. I couldn't thank Ruby and the staff more. The manager of the sister restaurants was there as well, Lee, and he was just as wonderful. Ruby truly made my night so special I didn't even care about going out after because it was such a fun experience. Every single moment made me feel special and it was nothing I have ever received at another place. If you have a special occasion or need a place to dine, I would only recommend here. Setting aside time to talk with us and the enormous effort and care everyone put into our time there made our experience unforgettable. You think restaurants are special because of the food but they are nothing without the people. And I would come back to Tableau for them alone. That said, I had the best meal I've ever had. I had the Chicken Tableau and I wouldn't change a thing about it, it was absolute delicious. I don't normally get chicken at a restaurant, but I wouldn't have rather anything else. It was amazing. My family and I also shared the gnocchi and fried which we could've had two more orders of because they were that good. The icing on the cake or rather sugar on the creme brulee, was a creme brulee dessert which was FANTASTIC. seriously. Get it. It's amazing. The final final icing on the cake was Kyle, who does the bananas foster presentations. It is so impressive and informative as he masterfully cooks the bananas foster table side and tells you the history of how it came to be. Ruby, Kyle, Lee, and the hosts who I unfortunately didn't get the name of but must include because you are all so so important to the whole experience, thank you. Genuinely. This trip was one I've waited on for a few years to save up for, and you guys made it a memory that I will cherish forever. I would wait a hundred years on a waitlist if I meant I got the opportunity to dine here again. Unfortunately, nothing may ever live up to it again. Until next time, anyone who sees this place, on here, on the street, recommended to by a friend, please go. It's a one of a kind and you will not be dissapointed. (Once more, Ruby, you are a STAR. You felt like a best friend and I am in admiration of how talented, kind, funny, and skillfully you are. No one can measure up to you in a million years and you made us all feel like family. Thanks for being you. ) read more

Thought off the book A Tale of Two Cities. The fish almandine was one of the best fish dishes I've had. Then two people on my party had to return Their mussel dishes as uneatable. An app of brown butter sage gnocchi was attractively presented but bland and tasteless. Then came sticky toffee pudding- well, that is what the menu said. What was delivered was a thick, brown, dry cake with a bland sauce and a large scoop of ok ice cream. Nothing memorable about it, not bad but definitely was not sticky toffee pudding. Finished by ordering a Sazerac which came out almost room temp and the orange peel was just dropped in the drink, not expressed over it. The fish was memorable but probably not good enough to warrant a return visit due to other issues. read more

I redownloaded this app to leave this review. I lost my appetite after this meal. Here are a list of cocktail bars/small restaurants that are true New Orleans favorites (and won't make you nauseous while eating their french onion soup with mediocre service) Jewel of the South: (upscale and prioritizes their ingredients while also giving neighborhood vibes and BEAUTIFUL SERVICE). Went here twice in the same week . Fives: quick bites, great location, delicious oysters, and PHENOMENAL cocktails. Mamou: WOW. As a chef/bartender hybrid, this experience changed my life. Words are limitations for how beautiful this experience was. This chef put his entire heart into every dish. They reimagined celery. PERIOD. ...good luck if you order the ceasar, luke warm frites, broken sauce that comes with the fried oysters, and getting time back for writing this review. As a woman of color that loves this city...... this feels like a Karen ass review but wow. read more

I had high hopes for this place, but it was a complete letdown. First, the shrimp and grits were absolutely *bland*. No seasoning, no flavor-- . The chicken sandwich was overcooked to the point of being dry and tough. To make matters worse, our waitress forgot to put in one of our party's meals. By the time we realized it, we have already waited an hour for our food. she offered to finally put it in, we just opted out because we were already frustrated. She got an attitude when we asked for separate checks as well. The only saving grace was the host--super friendly and welcoming. The fried oysters were good, but everything else? Lackluster at best. To top it off, we paid a $70 bill only to walk across the street to grab a Lucky Dog because we left hungry. Not worth it, save your money and time! read more

5/5 stars for lunch here on Mother's Day. I got the brown butter gnocchi appetizer and the red currant crepe entree. We shared the Instagram worthy large creme brulee dessert. There are vegetarian options here. The food tasted gourmet level and the service was outstanding. I ate every last drop of food. My only complaint would be that the portions of the appetizer and entree were small. But the creme brulee dessert was a huge portion on a big plate for 2-4 people to share.

My coworker recommended Tableau to me. Though my fiance and I have been to a handful of New Orleans institutions, I took my coworker's word for Tableau and was not disappointed. I made reservations for 12:15pm on a Thursday. We arrived around noon. Not only were we seated right away, but we were also able to get a balcony table as I requested. The restaurant is pretty big. It may not look like it from the outside, but once you venture in you'll find that they have a a few dining spaces including the downstairs bar, "The Library," The Green Room, the courtyard, the balcony, etc. Overall service was great. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. Food came out in a timely manner. We ordered a few things off the menu including the turtle soup, crawfish etouffee, and the shrimp and grits. My fiance and I shared the turtle soup. The soup was good. The flavor was great, but I found their soup more on the runny side. I was a big fan of everything I tried, but I must say that the crawfish etouffee was the standout dish. The shrimp and grits were good, but I can see them being heavy and buttery. read more
