I had a wonderful place to have a bite and catch up with friends. Great vibe and environment. Plus, Cat was the best server ever. She made us feel like family, took care of us, and served us well. Points for her! read more

The first time we went here our bartender was great. Drinks were good, service was good, bartender gave recommendations. The second time, no clue where bartender was. The waitress sat on her lazy ass playing on her phone for 10 minutes and didn't greet us. Instead she finally walked to the back to get a guy to come take our order. However, he had no clue how to make the drinks. Then the bartender finally showed up and made our drinks. read more

Tacklebox is the restaurant attached to the lobby of the Renaissance Pere Marquette, and as such it is also the restaurant where Bonvoy status members can get a breakfast credit depending on their level. I have status so I used Tacklebox for my spot for breakfast each day during a recent stay. Nothing special. I did the American Heartland breakfast one day and plain ol' eggs and cheese on other days, so that I could focus on bad eating elsewhere (NOLA makes that pretty easy!). Service was up and down, but food always came out quickly. Portions are large so no issues there, and prices seemed fair. It was always pretty cold thanks to the AC pumping in each day, so I learned to dress more appropriately after the first day. Tacklebox. It's...not bad? read more

Food:2/5 Service:4/5 Ambience:4/5 I ordered a stuffed avocado on toast for breakfast. It was ok, but it only came with one piece of toast! It also only came with 3 mozzarella balls. I was pretty dissatisfied with the portions. The food came out relatively quick. Good service. Interior was interestingly lined with different displays. Unique ambience. Overall I would not recommend this place, it was ok. read more

The charbroiled oysters were good. Got there and was not advised of when the kitchen planned to close so missed out on dessert. Just based on my experience, I can say I tried it. read more

Located in the Renaissance Hotel, just a block away from Bourbon, sits Legacy Kitchen Tacklebox. Very nice upscale bar and restaurant featuring a tap bar as well as a full bar service area. I wanted a snack to help me power through the day till dinner. I can't help but to have have some comforts: red beans and rice, crawfish etoufee, and gumbo. I tell you, what a treat. Good flavors. I like all of them equally. I would definitely visit again next time I am in town. read more

Here in town for another round of Tales of the Cocktail and I stopped by to get lunch while waiting for my room to be ready. I had the All American Beignet-wich, which was incentive and delicious. I also had the cheese grits which were very average for me. I did appreciate the $3 lunch beer. Very quiet in here but I feel like it could get a little wild during some times of the day. read more

Let's cut to the chase...the food is Okay. Now for the details. I work in the area so it was a short walk to meet my brother here for a quick lunch. We opted to sit at the bar. Our bartender was cool. It's Mardi Gras season so there's a couple of seasonal drinks. I tried the pineapple parade drink. It was good, weak...but good still. I expected that in a touristy area. Everything is always as far as drinks are concerned. We got 2 orders of Chargrilled oysters which is usually by the dozen but they sell theirs with 8. I was shocked to see that came up to $28/an order. while oysters can be expensive, this pricing is another tourist trap. They tasted decent tho. I got the salmon with Brussels sprouts for my entree and my brother got the fried seafood platter. The Brussels sprouts were honestly the star on my plate. The salmon was pretty good paired with it. My brother's seafood platter was piled and had a lot of food. Definitely enough to share. Personal preference though, I feel it could've been seasoned a little better. While I know this isn't a rave review, I have to say, the food was okay. The prices just don't match the taste. Again...it was okay. lol read more

Stopped in on a Sunday night and still got delicious food. Service was good, food was very tasty, and the drinks were good too. I had the New Orleans trio and my wife had the red fish. She got a side of the cabbage to go and it was delicious. Good spot to check out for some local flavors and a nice atmosphere. read more

Cat helped us get fat! She was wonderful keeping the table clean, and drinks topped off. I ordered the catfish poboy. The fish was bigger than the flaky bun with lettuce and tomato, with as much tartar or red sauce as I could keep inside it. My wife had the spinach dip instead of an entrée. It was wonderful! We had a couple of house drinks that were surprisingly well crafted. All in all the Tacklebox was an awesome experience. We're already looking forward to coming back. read more

This place seems to be hit and miss on food and service. Had exceptional service Sat morning with amazing beignet bites and scrumptious breakfast sandwich. The female server was attentive and helpful. A great experience. So we went back Sun morning and order beignets and gravy - yuck... chewy beignets clearly just heated up. So different from the fantastic mini ones we received the day before. Service was slow and inattentive, exact opposite of our prior experience. So a solid three stars.... might be fantastic, might be awful. read more

I only had dessert and drinks, so that's what I'm reviewing. The bananas foster bread pudding w vanilla bean ice cream is a must have. Their bar setup is visibly small, but the selection is notable. They actually have some Haitian rum on deck, which you're not likely to find at many venues. Also they had some interesting looking mezcal selections that I will be back to sample. Service was friendly and excellent and the ambiance was was whole vibe with the musical selections that were varied and at perfect decibel to enjoy but not interrupt conversations. Definitely worth a visit if you're visiting the 504. It's in the Renaissance hotel on Common. I wish my memory served me to remember names readily, but one of the bartenders, a local, that works the day shift til 3 was a whole vibe. Even if the food had not been to my liking I'd have been back to drink off her representation alone. read more

This was recommended by an Uber driver, saying she had a great time celebrating her birthday that she and her fam came back a second time the same week. That sold Hubbers, so he took it upon himself to decide this is where next dinner is. It was only a few minutes' walk from our hotel, so it was pretty convenient. I wasn't really hungry since I had a snack a couple of hours prior, but I thought the Grand Tower was a good idea to share with my party of 4. Paired that with a Bloody Mary. It is plenty for a starter. 6 fresh shucked oysters, 6 charbroiled oysters, 6 shrimp cocktail, smoked salmon dip and crawfish remoulade. It's practically a meal for two! The oysters were fantastic, but I think my favorite here are the dip and remoulade. Loved the smoked aroma from the salmon and the crawfish tails on the remoulade. Don't get me wrong: the oysters were great as well as the shrimp (bigger than normal) but the salmon dip did it for me! My party ordered their own dishes, but I was set with sharing the tower. And to finish it off: an order of beignets to cleanse the palate. Someone in my party said they liked it better than Cafe du Monde's version! FOOD: 4. SERVICE: 4. Our server, Tiana was attentive in a non-stalkerish way. VALUE: 4. More than fair! PARKING: Street only as far as I know. I didn't see any lots nearby. OVERALL: 4. Gotta give credit to Hubbers for the good call. Would recommend! read more

We just checked into our hotel and saw this place had the best oysters in town...they were not lying! They were incredible!! Cat was our server and she was super friendly and knowledgeable about the entire menu. Everything was delicious, we all left happy and full!! read more

Our waitress Cat "Motha" was amazing! She knew that menu backwards and forward. She provided such a warm and welcoming environment.

If you're hungry and you're staying at a hotel near by, it'll do. I ordered a shrimp poboy and asked for them to sub fries with a cup of gumbo. It was alright, nothing to write home about. The service was good, it took a while for the food to come, but when it did it was clear that it was made fresh right then so the longish wait wasn't too bad. My opinion is that the food here tastes what you would expect food to taste like at a restaurant near a hotel. If you're hungry, it'll do. read more

If you enjoy waiting for 30 minutes when there's no one else in the restaurant with you for a small meal for one and this is the restaurant for you. The service here is very sluggish, the staff is not friendly whatsoever, and definitely overpriced for what you get. read more

A few strangers I met while on my trip mentioned Tacklebox to me, and I decided to slide on in and give them a go. Listen here, best decision to end my night. Eve provided me and my new friends with 5-star service. She's great at her job, very kind and attentive. She made great suggestions with the menu. She customized our drinks based on what we typically would drink. Girlfriend knows her way around the bar, trust!!! She's so amazing! I will be back for sure she gave me excellent NOLA customer service. The restaurant was empty but still a steady crowd flowing in. I sat at the bar and was able to see all the action outside. It was nice to witness a NOLA wedding parade right outside the window. Now, let's talk about the food because I know that's what you came here for... I ordered the southern Georgia chicken sandwich with fries.... Babay, it did what it was supposed to do. So juicy and full of flavor that were well balanced out. The sauce on the chicken had the perfect amount of heat and sweetness. The bread was buttery and soft. Honestly, there was nothing special about the slaw on top, but it worked altogether. I would highly recommend this dish, but next time I visit, I hope I'm bold enough to try the oysters. They looked so mouthwatering. The liquor in my system almost gave me liquid courage. I grabbed some beignets to go. I did the original flavor and the cinnamon sugar. Sorry ya'll, by the time I remembered to snap a picture I only had 3 left out of the 2 bags.... I'll leave it there cause I already feel guilty for my gluttonous behavior read more

This place was trying a bit too hard to be fancy. The food was just okay. The service was not great. Our server didn't write down our order and of course my requested customizations were missed. Then the oddest part of the meal for me - I ordered a latte which was listed as a menu option. This place is connected to the hotel next door, so they ordered the latte from the hotel and brought it over in a paper cup about halfway into the meal. The latte was also not good. This place is a white table cloth place - so why am I drinking a hotel latte out of a paper cup? Bizzare. read more

Great service. Our server Cat was AWESOME Happy Hour daily with Oysters on the 1/2 shell . The Tackle Box is definitely worth going to.

lol - they offer a trio sampler, but one of the three things was not available. I tried to crab & corn bisque. Usually when I order soup in a restaurant, it's served lukewarm. This was just the way I like it - piping hot!!' Quite yummy. The smoked salmon dip was good too served with great crackers. read more

Decided to stop in and try last week while on a hut for some food that is in walking distance to my house. I met the sweetest hostess, Renita. She gave me a few recommendations on the menu. I ordered the shrimp and grits which was okay. I also had a drink, Rosie's Cosmopolitan which was very good. I probably wouldn't go here for food again but drinks + service was A1. Ambiance was nice and chill. This restaurant is actually connected to a hotel. read more

I didn't spend a lot of time here - came in to grab a drink before a business dinner. While it was not heavily populated (not always a good sign but it was monday night), i can say a couple of things: 1) outstanding cocktail ingredient list - and bartenders that understand how to craft them. They made my Naked and Famous like pro's - even if not on the menu. That's a great sign. 2) grabbed some oysters as an app - holy smokes! well beyond my expectations - both charbroiled and raw. Sweet, fresh and plump. Real NOLA style. These guys deserve a repeat engagement for sure. read more

Great food! Great service! Super kind staff! Deadly good desserts! Warm and welcoming with lots of southern charm.

I'm torn with this review. On the one hand pretty much everything that we ate was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, on the other hand, the service was probably the worst experience I've ever had in my life. Our server's name was Cat. It started when we were ordering and one of the people at our table wasn't quite ready, but the person who wasn't sure of what they wanted to eat yet assured her that she would be able to order right after the others ordered. Apparently that was not acceptable to our server and so she said everybody has to be ready at the same time, so she would look after four other tables and then would come back. That was odd and a little unnerving, but we moved on. While we all ordered at the same time, our main dishes came very staggered to the point that several of us were completely done our food by the time a couple of the other mains arrived. This was not the end of the world, but we found it to be odd. A big part of what made us so uncomfortable is that we got the impression that she was punishing us the entire time she was serving us. When we would ask for something different (because of a food allergy, for example) it took an incredibly long time to get what we asked for. Things really got bad at the end when we told her we wanted to split the bill, as we were obviously a mixed crowd, and she made us feel terrible and said that we're supposed to tell her beforehand. We wanted to tell her before she printed the bill, but she came with the bill before we had a chance. Then because we inconvenienced her she left again and came back a long time later again like she was punishing us. Then when we were trying to pay the bill, she got quite upset and went and got the manager because she wasn't listening to what we said and misunderstood because she didn't hear the rest of the sentence of the person who had the right payment method. Because of how she made us feel, it's hard to put into words just how awful the service was during our dinner. Easily the worst I've ever had in the world and I've been literally all over the world. A 20% tip is automatically added into our bill because we were five people altogether, which was tough to swallow because we didn't want to reward her for treating us so badly. The mistreatment was unjustified because are a group of genuinely nice people; not once were we short with her. Wealways thanked her kindly and, in the end, let all of this mistreatment slide. Perhaps we shouldn't have let it slide, but we really didn't want to argue with her and let it spoil the rest of our evening. read more
