We live in the Quarter and stopped by for lunch. For a Brennan's restaurant it was underwhelming. No, it was not good. We split a soup, salad and main course, which the server said she could split onto separate bowls/plates, which was great. The soup that arrived was the wrong soup, but we were happy to try their gumbo (they did offer to give us both soups, but that would have been too much). The gumbo was good. The salad had big chunks of old, rusted pieces of romaine in it (I had to cut off an end of a romaine heart), with very sparse dressing. We order the poached eggs, and both eggs were fully cooked. We sent them back, and on the second try mine was still over-cooked (a bit runny, but not up to the standards of a restaurant like this). Anyhow, the staff was good, but the kitchen wasn't putting its best foot forward on a quiet, hot, slow Sunday. I post this in the hopes that this will improve things. I want this place to succeed, but we won't be back for a while (they compted the soup, so they know). Tip your waiters and bar staff! read more

Came in on a Thursday for happy hour with my parents while in town, and honestly? We've never seen a staff more checked out on their phones ever, and we've worked in the industry for decades. It was slow. There was less than 5 tables in the entire restaurant. We know how it's goes, but then we got some cold food because the staff was too checked out to run it before it got cold. We had to send our bartender to check on it because it had taken so long. Our bartender Derek was great. Fast, efficient, and paying attention to his guests, but he can't do everyone's job for them. Drinks were great and the food tasted great... once it got to us. The gnocchi and the frites were phenomenal. Goat cheese was great. The pulled pork sliders were cold but could've been amazing. The atmosphere of the place was cool, if a little empty, would've loved to have seen it when it was more full, but I guess it doesn't get too busy during happy hour. We were so excited to come to a New Orleans classic, but honestly we couldn't come back to have hosts who would rather scroll on her phone and be anywhere else and where the food runners are FaceTiming and on TikTok instead of running the only ticket in the restaurant. I really am not exaggerating when I say every single time we turned to look at the line or host stand we saw people, leaned over on their phone and acting like having to do their job was an inconvenience to them, and we were there over an hour. We watched the managers walk by and not say anything to the 5 different team members openly on their phones for our entire visit, and some even had AirPods in while they worked. The one manager on the floor seemed like he was too busy being their friend to say anything and he pulled out his phone too... The dining room servers and the female manager seemed to be on top of it and professional when they walked by, but even when we left, the hosts didn't look up, and there were two young servers on their phones standing in front of the door talking to the hosts. This place has so much potential with a great history, location, and menu, but the execution by the support staff left much to be desired. read more

My girlfriend and I made reservation here for 5:15pm on a Wednesday. The restaurant opens at 5:00pm so there was no one around when we got there. The restaurant is beautiful and has a gorgeous courtyard. We read that the balcony there is amazing and must go, but we did not unfortunately. We were seated at ground level and the service was on point. The waiter knew just what we wanted! Food: for the starter, we went with the truffled crab claws($18.00). The crab claws are so good! I can barely taste the truffle from it, but the crab meat was so juices and fresh. It came with three pieces of bread that was perfect with the sauce used on the crab claws. For the entree, I went with the chicken Tableau ($25.00). The chicken was cooked perfectly! It came with the crispy chicken thigh and with a roasted chicken breast. My favorite was the sauce that gives the chicken more flavor. The potato with the crispy thigh just worked. Overall: I would come here again just to try the pasta bouillabaisse ($34.00) read more

Came in for a nice dinner superbowl Sunday. Turtle soup: just like most down here and it was great Gumbo: very good but needed a bit more spice Shrimp and grits: some of the better I've had down here and super flavorful and tasty. Sheephead fish almondine some of the best fish of the trip. Cooked perfectly. Well done. We had the two offered desserts which was both on the menu aside from the creme brulee sadly, but they were phenomenal. Great meal. Will be back. read more

Had an amazing dinner here on our last night in NOLA. Ruby was an absolute gem! The attention to detail was much appreciated. Knowledgeable about dishes and drinks!

Everything was delicious! read more

The food was flying out of the kitchen and arrived to happy guests. The flavors were authentic to the region. Service staff was well prepared for service. It looked like a solid team.

We came in for dinner on an anniversary trip! This was our actual anniversary night dinner, and it was very good! The fried oyster plate was delicious, very good flavors, and a different take than the chargrilled and Rockefeller we found everywhere else. My husband had the gumbo and it was delicious, but my French onion soup was amazing! We split a salad - which was good - but quite a bit of brown lettuce - which was a little off putting... my main dish was the gulf fish almondine, and it was so good! The husband got the filet, which was pretty good. The Creme brûlée was very tasty! We had a couple muddy waters cocktails also. The space is beautiful, and a really nice experience! Our server was very nice and engaging. Overall it was a really really nice night! read more

We went for my friends birthday, and had a wonderful experience. The food was amazing. We ordered the Gulf Fish Almondine, the Wagyu Denver Steak, the Shrimp and Grits, the Brown Butter Gnocchi, and the Creole French Onion soup. Everyone loved their meal! The service was good, because the waitress was friendly and helpful. The best part of this place was the ambiance; it felt like classic New Orleans with jazz music playing. read more

Made reservations just in case but on Wednesday at 1pm it was not busy at all. Got a table on the balcony. Ordered the smoked salmon toast. Came with lots of spinach. It was a delicious healthy option. The wagyu steak and eggs was to die for. So much delicious flavor. Can't leave without the brown butter gnocchi. To die for! Everything's so fancy and so delicious! read more

For our night out in New Orleans we decided to make reservations at Tableau restaurant in the French Quarter. Located in the same manor that the actual Louisiana deal occurred it connects to the historical Le Petit Theatre. The interior is very expansive and has a very romantic atmosphere. We were seated within minutes and the waitress brought us a loft of warm French bread complements of the house. For appetizers we decided to order brown butter gnocchi, truffled crab claws, and creole French onion soup. The crab claws were delicious super fresh and soaked in truffle vinaigrette, while the gnocchi were the least tasting item of the night. The French onion soup was the best I ever had with cheesy top, the broth was exceptional while croutons were not too soggy. For the main entree my wife and I ordered the pasta bouillabaisse with assorted seafoods. It was very tasty and I loved the pasta was made with squid ink. For dessert we couldn't decide so we ordered the Tarta a La bouillie and for our anniversary that brought out a large creme brûlée. The Tarta was a vanilla custard pie that felt it was in the refrigerator too long, not the best. The creme brûlée was legendary, with a perfect shell of burned sugar and the creamy vanilla custard. Tableau was an amazing dinner with great food and unforgettable ambiance. read more

Best French cuisine in all of New Orleans hands down. I also love the balcony dining overlooking Jackson square so you can enjoy your meal and people watch at the same time. My fiancé and I came on a Saturday afternoon around 2 pm and surprisingly there was no wait. We started off with the pomme frites and French onion soup. The pomme frites was nothing special but the French onion soup was perfection. Chefs kiss. For entrees we ordered the wagyu steak and eggs and the Maison salad with added fried oysters. The maison salad was one of the best salads I've ever had. My fiancé said his wagyu was tender and juicy. Food presentation was also beautiful for all the dishes mentioned above. Almost too pretty to eat. I wish I had made room for their famous crème brûlée. This just gives me an excuse to come back to order it next time. Parking in the French quarter is always a headache but dining here is so worth it. read more

This was my least favorite restaurant while in New Orleans. It's not to say that it's a place you should avoid however there are far better places in the French Quarter. My truffle crab claws nor my truffle omelet had any truffle whatsoever & while the menu states that a "shaved truffle" option is available the restaurant claims it's because they can't get them. To add insult to injury we requested a balcony table but upon arrival we were told it's under construction. I will however testify that this creme brûlée was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is quite gorgeous also. read more

Tableau - Courtyard dining and a Happy Birthday Crème Brûlée:) - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

My husband and I were in New Orleans for one night and, after reading Yelp reviews, decided on this restaurant for dinner. We were greeted and seated upon entering. Our server was friendly and helpful. We ordered the crabmeat ravigote, maison salad, and pan seared gulf fish entree. The maison salad and gulf fish were good, but the crabmeat ravigote was really bad...the crabmeat was not good at all. My husband had to spit it out. Very disappointing for such an upscale restaurant. It was even more disappointing because we weren't checked on until after I had finished my entree, so if we wanted to order a replacement, it was too late as we were ready for our bill. The good news is we weren't charged, the bad news is it was our only night and meal in the city and it was a disappointment. We've heard so much about the great food in New Orleans and won't be able to experience it this trip. read more

My husband and I came here for dinner, loved the ambiance and history of the building. This is not somewhere to be too "casual" as you will be out of place. We requested to sit on the balcony after seeing other reviews photos. It's covered and there was a breeze and view of Jackson square, a few parades also went by. Because I am "picky" my meal consisted of apps rather than an entree- sharing the crab app (small claws but delicious sauce), the French onion soup (tasty & large portion), sage brown butter gnocchi (this was an app, was plenty for one person- I didn't love, due to me not liking sage, that's my own fault) & a DELICIOUS Maison salad. (I don't usually say that about salads). My husband loved the duck entree, best he's ever had. The desserts looked fantastic but we skipped these and walked to kilwins instead. This is a "nice" restaurant that's very reasonably priced. read more

We were just headed for the plaza, to go see some street art and hear some music when we noticed this balcony with people eating and drinking. The balcony had direct view to the plaza and park so we decided to grab a drink there and enjoy the scene away from the crowd for a bit. This is also a restaurant, both downstairs and on the second floor. We went directly to the second floor. People gathered at the bar, taking pictures and video, so of course we had to go look. The bartender was making one of NoLa's signature drinks, the Sazerac. The process is Instagram worthy... they smoke a bottle with the whiskey in it, the pour this smoky concoction in the glass, add another spirit to the bottle and burns it. The Fire trick has everyone looking each time is made and makes those looking ask for that drink. Pretty neat but too strong for me, and being that it was brunch time, I went with a Bloody Mary. We all agreed that was the best one we had in NoLa. Good tomato juice mix, think and with the right amount of vodka and heat. They add olives and these pickled green beans that I had never had before and loved! They also had a local beer called Who Dat, that we're dying to get over here and can't Will just need to make the sacrifice of going back... :p With drinks in hand, we walked out to the balcony where we could see the street band and artists, and enjoy the nice weather. Really nice/ chill sport we happened to find, and would definitely go back to on our next trip. read more

A girlfriend and I decided to enjoy Sunday brunch at Tableau, though brunch is offered everyday. We were tempted by their Bottomless mimosas ($15) but were off-put to learn that they pre-mix in large batches. Additionally, they charge extra if you opt for a different juice (grapefruit or cranberry) and they completely disallow a bottomless champagne-only option. We switched gears and went for a bottle of Prosecco instead ($44) and it was quite enjoyable - light and refreshing. Entree: Though it's a finer restaurant, I was excited to order their TABLEAU CHEESEBURGER. This prime burger included an 8oz ground chuck patty with cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, and house-made pickles on a brioche bun and accompanied by pommes frites ($15). Since it was brunch, I added applewood smoked bacon ($5.50-steep) and a fried egg ($2). Although I ordered the burger medium rare, it came medium well. Since it took so long for the food to arrive, I simply began eating. When I was almost halfway done, my waiter came to check. I showed him the burger and he took it off the bill (but he did NOT take off the price for the bacon or egg, oddly). Since I did eat half of the burger, I didn't balk about it. We saved room for dessert, which was their CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO PAVÉ. It's a rich dark chocolate thick mousse with pistachio mousse atop and toasted sesame seed brittle as a garnish ($10). The flavors sounded unusual but definitely worked well together- bitter/smooth dark chocolate, sweet and nutty pistachio, and earthy/crunchy seed brittle. Overall: a restaurant of this caliber should know how to prepare burgers properly. Also, pre-made mimosas seem cheap and won't have the same effervescence. Lastly, service is slow. read more

Holy Mardi I came here two weeks ago and can't get the sticky toffee cake out of my head. This place has a great vibe. I tried turtle soup "for the experience." Wouldn't eat again, but when in Nola, I guess. The chicken (I know, why would you order chicken in New Orleans? Trust me.) was incredible, presented as fancifully as the garden district houses. We went as a large family group and it was very nice for big parties (and small parties, but we're Roman Catholic). Probably could get this type of fancy Cajun food elsewhere, but if that's what you want, this is a great place to come for it. read more

THIS. IS. AN. AMAZING. RESTAURANT. I was a bit apprehensive because I heard it was a Brennan's restaurant but it was brings amazing. It was so good I forgot to take pictures. Lol. We just ate. Lol! We order one of each appetizer. This is a Gulf Shrimp Remoulade, Eggplant Desalvo, Brown Butter Gnocchi and Truffled Crab Claws. Without a doubt the crab claws were my favorite, The Brown Butter Gnocchi was full of flavor and was amazingly yummy. The Eggplant was good, but mine is better. And remoulade is sprays wasted on me, My friend ordered the turtle soup and it was also good. My friend commented it should be green and it wasn't. We shared a Crème Brûlée and it was lovely. They made it thin with a lot of burnt sugar on top. Yummy! read more

What a fantastic location right next to Jackson square! This is a great place to get brunch if you are looking to spend an afternoon in the quarter. The service was great. We asked to share entrees and they split it in the kitchen which was very nice. I would totally recommend splitting entrees if you are in a smaller party to try to variety of dishes. Both the shrimp and gritz + the eggs tableau were tasty but nothing spectacular. The food was slightly overseasoned for my liking. Nevertheless, if you can get a balcony seat it is totally worth the try. I would highly recommend a reservation! read more

A nice upscale New Orleans restaurant in the city center. I made a dinner reservation for 5 on the balcony but it was chilly in the evening. When I asked to be relocated indoor the staff had no problem with the change. Everything here that we tried was delicious, from the brown butter gnocchi, the maison salad, the pan-roasted duck breast, the grilled pork chop, the chicken tableau, but the most memorable dish was the mushroom risotto and I'd highly recommend you get that when you come here. It was very light and flavorful for it being a risotto and honestly I was very impressed. The only dish we were not impressed by was the millionaire tart dessert which was very heavy in the chocolate department. The chocolate ganache was very dense but if you love chocolate, this is the dessert for you! read more

Food were good. Service were ok. We had two girls who took care of our group but seemed to not have had good communication with each other. Overall, not bad. Appetizers 1. Grand royale: crabmeat ravigote, shrimp remoulade, truffled crab claws, fried oysters with roasted garlic butter - All served cold except for the fried oysters, which were salty. 2. Crystal shrimp: sauteed gulf shrimp, crystal honey-butter sauce, mirliton slaw - Tasted like tomato sauce, in my opinion. 3. Caesar salad - Could've went without. Felt as though I was eating plain Romaine lettuce with sprinkles of cheese and croutons. Entrees 1. Filet of beef, A la Bordelaise: 6 oz prime filet, potato gratin - Cooked to perfection! The perfect medium rare filet that melted in the mouth. I chose to have it with the mushroom sauce, which was good but with the crabmeat probably would've been even better. My friends had it with the A la Oscar, or crabmeat, and they seemed to have enjoyed it. 2. Roasted half duck - I had a piece of it and it was pretty good and tender. It's not often that you find a place that cooks a nice duck. 3. Redfish Bienville: frislee salad, fingerling potatoes, blue crab butter sauce, white truffle oil - "Good but not wow", as my guest described. read more

Probably the most disappointing meal on our 4 day trip to New Orleans. We had a party of five and ordered pretty much every appetizer and entree on the menu, along with cocktails and a bottle of wine. The food is mediocre at best: brown butter gnocchi was tasteless, bbq shrimp was super salty, the fish entree was bland, chicken on the house salad was overcooked, duck was cooked unevenly (one piece dry, other piece moist)...and those were the memorable ones (almost everything else was forgettable). We did give feedback to the waiter on some of these items and he said he would pass the info to the chef, but there were no attempts to correct the dishes. The best thing on the menu are the crab claws, which were drenched in truffle butter. Our recommendation is to come here for a couple drinks and enjoy the crab claws, skip everything else. read more

Incredible restaurant near Jackson Square with a wonderful outdoor balcony seating and amazing seafood! HALF DOZEN OF OYSTERS - We sampled three varieties, a mix of Louisiana and Alabama oysters. I cannot recall the names, but they were all very plump and have a sweet ocean taste. Must try! DEMI ROYALE - An appetizer sampler of crabmeat ravigote, shrimp rémoulade, and truffled crab claws. Crabmeat ravigote is a dish made of jumbo lump crabmeat with celery root, lemon aïoli, and dill. Shrimp rémoulade is poached Gulf shrimp paired with fried green tomato, green tomato relish and then topped with white rémoulade sauce, similar to a tartar sauce. Highly highly recommend! You can try all the amazing seafood in one dish. The crabmeat, shrimp, and crab claws are extremely sweet and delicious. The shrimp is probably one of the most underrated seafood in New Orleans. Shoutout to Anthony, our amazing waiter, who made it very special for us. We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and they set up the best table for us on the balcony, with an awesome view of Jackson Square. We also got a special anniversary creme brulee dessert, which was delicious. My SO who was not big on desserts really enjoyed it as well. It was not overly sweet. Rather than being in a ramekin, the creme brulee was in a shallow plate so it was absolutely divine to have the custard and caramelized sugar with each bite. If you are celebrating any special occasions whether it is a birthday or anniversary, come to Tableau and you will be spoiled. read more

We decided to dine here on Halloween, we were able to get a balcony seat and we were excited to be able to overlook Jackson Square and people watch. Tableau is upscale and classic, definitely one of the "cleanest" restaurants in the French Quarter. We found our experience to be a pleasant one, I will add that it was not a very busy evening so this may have helped. We were seated quickly, service was good and timely. We started with a few cocktails, the Just as Well and the Old Hickory, both were crafted nicely and prepared as one would want them to be, in other words - we were not disappointed. We skipped the starters and ordered entrees, the Pan Roasted Duck Breast and the Chicken Tableau. The duck was tender and the flavors unique and rich, loved the gnocchi and shiitake mushroom compliments. The Chicken Tableau is my favorite, a juicy roasted chicken breast and a crispy thigh, married with béarnaise and chicken Demi glacé, so delectable. Mouth watering good. Finished the evening with another round of drinks and left feeling very satisfied. read more

I sure wish I could leave a negative 100 star review rather than a 1 star review. I am so furious, I don't even know how or where to begin. We're visiting from Kansas City for a long weekend and had heard some good things about Tableau so we were excited to give it a try for our first night in NOLA. Upon walking in, we saw it said "Tableau Oyster Bar" so that made us very excited to dig into some fresh oysters. Once we were sat, we looked over the menu only to notice It was a very limited menu. Also noticing that raw oysters were no where to be seen on the menu. Once our waitress came over to take our drink order, my first question was if they had oysters available to order. She said unfortunately, no. Well, that's a bummer. We decided to start with the crab claws in truffle oil. These were actually pretty good but just a warning that these are a very very small portion. So, if you're wanting to share with more than 3 people I would order more than one order. We each ordered the Maison Salad. I would give this a good rating but also how can you mess up a salad? For dinner, we ordered the shrimp + grits, the mushroom risotto but we added shrimp and the chicken tableau. I personally though the shrimp + grits was really good. The mushroom risotto was super bland. Once we were finished eating, we actually had to wait awhile for our waitress to come by with our checks. But before she gave us our checks, she told us that their computer system was down and we either had to pay cash or we could run our cards a different way. Well, none of us really wanted to pay cash since only one person in our group had cash. The manger came over with an iPad and asked us to enter in our credit card information into this form and they would run our credit card later on when everything was back up and running. He handed me the iPad and I started to type a number.. well this is where it gets shady. You know when you online shop and your personal computer saves your credit card info for easier + a faster shopping process? Well, when I clicked to put my number in a total of 10+ credit card numbers popped up for me to automatically choose to charge. What a way to make a customer HIGHLY uncomfortable. This manager explained to us that this was HIS personal iPad and all those credit card numbers were HIS. The fact that we all knew was a lie was upsetting but how the manager would compensate for any of this trouble is beyond me. I will never be back nor will EVER recommend Tableau to any of our friends. Horrible experience and even worse customer service. Will NOT be back. read more

I chose this restaurant based on a number of good reviews here and on Reddit. It was our anniversary so we wanted something special. The restaurant itself is ok. I liked how the tables are well spaced unless you're on the terrace. The light is dim and it's not exceptional noisy. Maybe we were there on an off night. The food and service were merely ok, definitely not what we expected. Our server wasn't friendly but not unfriendly either. Just kind of there. They were out of one ingredient of a dish, which was disappointing because it was what we both were going to order. We ended up with the truffled crab claws for an appetizer. They were average, kind of greasy and I guess we weren't expecting them to be cold. They didn't really taste truffled. I ended up getting the chicken which was incredibly bland. It was a fried breast and a roasted thigh. Which mushrooms and bernaise sauce. Again, fairly average. My husband had the hanger steak. He ordered medium rare and it arrived raw and cold. He sent it back and they brought out a well done steak instead. He gave up and ate it so we could still try to have dinner together. It was a little tough since it was overcooked. And not really seasoned. We had planned on having a nice dessert but decided to head somewhere else. Maybe it was an off night for the chef and the server. read more

We enjoyed our night at Tableau! Our server Mya was very sweet and helpful, and the food was tastey with decent portions for a FQ type restaurant. My shrimp remoulade appetizer had large, plump shrimp and the remoulade was perfect. The shrimp and grits sauce was a bit on the sweet side which isn't my preference, but others at the table liked the hint of actual bbq sauce in bbq shrimp. The cocktails were excellent also; I got the "Just as Well" without the bitters to avoid sugar, and it was still delicious. I would definitely recommend Tableau for a "traditional New Orleans" type experience! read more
