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.

Stopped by here because I'd heard this was a classic New Orleans spot that's worth checking out…read more Fun fact: it's actually attached to the Hilton, which I didn't realize before visiting! Overall, the food was tasty, especially the seafood dishes. The green peppers were definitely spicier than I expected, so I ended up picking most of them out, but everything else was really flavorful. The portions are on the smaller side considering the price, so I'd keep that in mind when ordering. That said, the crispy Brussels sprouts absolutely live up to the reputation -- definitely one of the highlights! Service was another strong point. Everyone was attentive and friendly, and they checked in periodically without being overbearing. Everything felt pretty well managed throughout the meal The ambiance is more of a classic, casual diner-style setup, with dim lighting and paper-covered tables. Seating was comfortable overall, although the space felt a little tight in some areas Overall, if you don't mind paying a bit more for smaller portions, I'd still say this is a spot worth checking out while you're in New Orleans. The location is also super convenient if you're exploring around Bourbon Street, so it's an easy stop while checking out the area!

It's filthy, top to bottom, the back bar looks like shit with old dusty bottles and sports memorabilia hanging from strings from the ceiling, The football jerseys that are used as decoration are gross, old covered in years of Bourbon street muck. The restrooms havn't been touched in some time and the toilets are covered in feces. No privacy or paper towels so ther you have it. Domestic beers are 8 dollars each and certainly go hand in hand with service that was indifferent at best. I was in no way staying for a second beer but neither of the bartenders tried to sell me one. There are nice quality bars on Bourbon but Old Absinthe House isn't it.

Our server was excellent, being very attentive, engaging and willing to partake in our good humor. For dinner, I had the Andouille Crusted Fish with a side of crawfish. The fish was tender and flaky, and the beurre blanc and chive aioli sauce added a delicate yet rich flavor. The side of crawfish, unfortunately, was a bit bland. In hindsight, I would have added it directly to the dish in order to benefit from the sauce. My husband had the Rock Shrimp & Scallop Risotto, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The seafood broth mixed with Italian cheese created a creamy and lightly sweet risotto, the smaller sized scallops were juicy and the fried shrimp had a nice crispy coating outside and succulent inside. For dessert we had the Creme Brulee & Blueberry Upside-Down Financier. Both were brilliant. Mildly sweet, velvety and satisfying. The perfect way to end the evening's meal.

My wife and I visited Tableau last week expecting an upscale dining experience based on the…read moreatmosphere and presentation of the restaurant. Unfortunately, our experience didn't live up to those expectations. The service was particularly disappointing, especially considering how empty the restaurant was. After taking our drink orders, our server didn't check back with us until we were nearly finished with our meal. What made this more noticeable was watching the tables around us receive regular attention throughout the evening. At one point, someone who appeared to be a manager came to our table, abruptly dropped off a bag containing a loaf of bread, and walked away without saying anything or providing plates. The bread was cold, despite appearing to have been toasted at some point, and we were left cutting it directly on the bag while crumbs went everywhere. The same manager also bumped into the back of my chair several times throughout the evening without ever acknowledging it. We also waited quite a while for our food, and during that time noticed several staff members, including the manager, on their phones. Given the lack of attention we were receiving, that was particularly frustrating. The food itself was underwhelming and the portions were unnecessarily large. Neither of us finished our meals, and by the end of dinner, we weren't interested in staying for dessert. We simply wanted to leave. Tableau certainly looks the part of an upscale restaurant, but our experience didn't match the setting. When you're paying for what is presented as a higher-end dining experience, the details and level of service matter. Unfortunately, those details were missing throughout our visit. There are too many great restaurants in the area for us to choose Tableau again. This was definitely not the white-tablecloth experience we expected.
