We passed a hundred restaurants along Magazine St leaving the Zoo and when I looked in an saw the kitchen I knew it was our kinda place!!! Well a half a menu order later Dorian the Chef buried our table in a ton of amazing food!! We had cheese sticks, and spinach/ artichoke balls for appetizer. for dinner I had the Summer special of grilled channel cat on a bed of rice and smothered in crawdad etoifee, wife and kid shared an Irish Club,ohh and the HANGOVER FRIES....this is a meal in its own right!! Opps lol! Side for those like us that look forward to a late-night meal!! Highly recommend. Well stocked 25 ft wall bar if thats your thing!! Glad we pass all the others and stopped early before we got back to Bourbon Street!!!

Busy and fun spot! Plenty of seating inside and outside. Lots of family's with little ones as well as us old timers. Always great to see in an Irish Pub! Patients is needed. Constant influx. Good food, good people!

Having a pint

Did not even want to stay and try the food because the service was not the best and the vibes were off. Beer was okay - only 2 true Irish beers available on tap. The bartender seemed hungover and unwilling to be patient with out of town guests. Bathroom smelled like the night before's mistakes.

Breakfast
Brittany S.

Updating my pictures from my last visit. Always an enjoyable time. Chef, bartender, service = fabulous. They've recently added breakfast Wednesday through Sunday. We've enjoyed having a new place to walk to in the morning. Sausage and bacon are peppery which is a fav of mine. Pancakes were sweet with a nice crispy edging.

Sample wing :)

The wings were delicious. Also, the fire cracker shrimp po boy hit the spot. The salad was refreshing and light.

Stopped by Manning's Spots Bar and Grill on our way back to the hotel after our Saturday…read moretournament, and I'm so glad we did! My daughter is a huge fan of chicken wings--like, she wants to eat them every day --so she was beyond excited when we walked in. We were seated immediately and ordered drinks--me, a much-needed beer, and my daughter, a soda. For food, we went with the lemon pepper wings, nachos, and onion rings. Let me tell you... these wings were . Some of the best I've ever had! Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside . I honestly wish we had a place like this back home in Cali. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and super helpful, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to next time! Highly recommend for wing lovers.

We did not enjoy our experience here. We popped in because the bar across the street that was…read morewanted to go too was just super packed and we wanted a bite to eat after a long day of walking around the French quarter. When we walked in the hostess hardly acknowledged us. I asked if we could sit at the bar and she said yes so we walked over. The bar was full so we went back and asked if we could do a table instead. She laughed in our face and looked at us like we were crazy or inconveniencing her. And she was lounging on the bench on her phone, not even behind the counter to greet guests. There were tons of empty tables that hadn't even been cleaned off yet so we just sat at the cleanest one that at least didn't have dishes on it. It took FOREVER for a waitress to even come to us and take our order. After we placed our orders I think our waitress sensed that we were not having a good time so she apologized for the wait and was very kind and pleasant compared to the hostess. I wanted to try the pepper jack boudin egg-rolls. My boyfriend got the fried local shrimp. I did not like the boudin egg-roll. It was fried very hard and I wasn't the biggest fan of the boudin sausage but I wanted to try it because I never had it. You win some you some. I just ended up eating my boyfriend's shrimp because it had taken so long to get our food that the kitchen was basically getting ready to close so I didn't order anything else. Soooo yea. Not my go to choice for a bar. They did have these cool movie theatre style lounge chair in front of the big screen though so that was cool.

If you love a dive bar, this is a must! We stopped in because my fiancé wanted to have absinthe as…read moreis, not in a drink. So I saw for the first time how they light a sugar cube on fire, then pour it in to make the drink. It's cool. The bar has old football helmets hanging from the ceiling and the walls are lined with business cards.

I'm disappointed that I'm disappointed. Maybe it's what is to expect from NOLA and the Bourbon St…read more experience because I found several missed opportunities . This is an old, full of history building and business. And is very dive bar feeling- until you walk into the back bar- which is old saloon vibes but dead quiet and empty. But the chairs score a million stars for comfort. Absinthe has this feeling behind it- not cold beer and well drinks for cheap let's see how drunk we can get and party... it's an experience. And that experience is lost. Which is really disappointing. I imagined something more than we got. The back bar doesn't serve all the drinks and mainly does the traditional absinthe experience- great- but there's nothing that says that and there's tables and chairs but no one to educate you or offer suggestions. There's the back bartender. It's all very confusing. The back area would be sick with a piano player or acoustic guitar player or even a small jazz band and someone to invite you to experience "absinthe" and more so, traditionally. If you're spending $60+ make it worth it. Inviting. Educating. Alluring. An experience. This wasn't the experience I thought we might get at such a unique, historic spot.

Great experience…read more 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.

Tableau has that nice, classic French Quarter charm.The white tablecloths, warm lighting, and even…read morebalcony 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.
