My daughter and I ate at Pardos for the first time last night. The restaurant is lovely, the food was fantastic and the service was the best I can ever remember having. They even served an unexpected, but delicious amuse bouche. I am looking forward to dining at Pardos again soon. read more

Absolutely amazing! I've lived in Louisiana for 15 years and hands down this was my most enjoyable service and meal!

Food is amazing. The servers are on point. It's pretty $$$ but very much worth every penny. Need to upscale there deserts though my only complaint. Bartender guy is amazing too btw. read more

Fantastic experience! The staff was very attentive and the food was fabulous!! I highly recommend this restaurant!

We found a fabulous little gem tucked away in Covington across the street from Target right off of I-12. The meal started out with freshly baked bread and a wonderful dipping oil. My wife ordered the Filet n Shrimp and I had the Special pizza of the day. My wife (who is not a huge fan of seafood) raved about the shrimp, not to mention that the filet was cooked to perfection. I was in food heaven - thin crusted pizza topped with steak, caramelized onions, mushrooms & a 3 cheese topping. Debbie took care of all our needs, our only regret is that we did not leave room for dessert! First time customer, will be back & soon. read more

I took my family for my mother's 86th birthday lunch! The service and attention was 5 star. The food competes with any of New Orleans finest. It is comfort food with a unique upgrade on the par of Susan Spicer. As a foody, I consider this in the top 5 restaurants on the northsore, but for overall ambiance, service, and experience, it is 1st on my list. My 11 year old was treated just as well as the birthday girl. And yes, there is a childrens menu, which matters when you want to expose your children to fine dining, but also want them to enjoy it! I pray it stays the jewel it is and does not ruin it with getting bigger! read more

I can't say enough great things about this place. Disclaimer: I've only been twice, both times were for lunch, and I got the same dish each time. The crab sandwich is incredible. Their staff (wait, kitchen and bar) is incredible, friendly and knowledgeable. Truly 5 start dining in a suburban strip mall. I will be back often. read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant, their food, and Darlene, a waitress there. The soup that I had for lunch recently was amazing. I can't remember the name, but it was a special that Darlene recommended. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their order, and the service was terrific. My dad wanted to go there for his "last supper". A nurse gave him two weeks to live, and of all the many restaurants that he has frequented, he wanted to go to this one. He really knows his restaurants, so this should tell you something! read more

Dinner was terrific. The staff provided excellent service. Highly recommend Pardos for a romantic dinner.

Delicious, extremely well executed cuisine. Very glad to have this establishment on the Northshore.

Wow wow wow!!! I was not expecting this kind of service and food off of the I-12!!!! The food was AMAZING, service was AMAZING and the atmosphere was AMAZING! I had the Airline Chicken which is Sausage stuffed chicken wrapped in Prosciutto over veggies and it was flawless! I highly recommend! read more

The waitstaff here is so annoying! I have given this place four tries now. Every time I am reluctant to return because I always have the weirdest experience with the wait staff. They refill your wine without asking if you want another glass, and then charge you for said wine. Who does that? And God forbid you take a sip from your glass of water, because they are breathing down your back, listening in on your conversation waiting for you to put it down and fill up the one sip you just took. It obnoxious, and makes me think they just want you to use the bathroom 3 times within your meal. That being said, the food is very delicious. But it's hard for me to get past the waitstaff. They all seem awkward, and are obviously grilled to fill your water glass after you so much as look at it, and that's a little too much for me. An overbearing annoying waitstaff is almost as bad to me as an under attentive one. But if it doesn't bother you then check it out! read more

We have been there many times because it is one of the best restaurants in the New Orleans area not just the Northshore. We invited our friends from the Southshore who eat out ofter, they were blown away. From the service to the exceptional food Chef Twety puts out nothing could compare. Of course I understand why Tom Fitzmorris gave them 5 stars completely deserving! read more

One of the best on the Northshore, and it would hold its own against any restaurant in New Orleans. Generally a small menu, but all are interesting, and everything is excellent. Service for a half-dozen dinners has been excellent. Pardos has become one of our favorite restaurants. read more

We had dinner here last night, and it was amazing! We started with the Carpaccio as an appetizer, definitely one of the best Carpaccios we have ever had. We shared an Arugula salad, which was very good as well. I had the Market Fish as my entree, which happened to be Drum, OMG, was it delicious. I would highly recommend it!! One of the best fish dishes I have had, and I've had many. My fiance had the Filet Mignon, which he highly enjoyed. The crab mac and cheese as a side was very good as well! For dessert we shared the S'mores bread pudding at the recommendation of our waiter, and it did not disappoint! Service was excellent as well! read more

Really good! The cocktails were on point and the filet was very tender. Definitely one of the best steaks on the Northshore. The staff is very knowledgeable and eager to enhance your dining experience. read more

Decided to go eat at the bar as wife was out of town and wanted to re-try it. We went maybe a year ago and I recall it was less than memorable, and reason I haven't returned since. The decor is really very nice, well done and almost strikingly pretty. The wait staff, maitre'd and bartender were all also very nice and very attentive. The issue I had, as I had a year ago, is with the food. It is all well presented but am wondering what the chef is thinking. I had the calamari - typical fried with an aiolii. The calamari were salted like others do, then apparently combined with olives and olive tapenade. huh? Salted squid combined with salty olives then dipped into a sauce that also has a salty/pesto taste. Just makes no sense to me. One's palate likes different acid/salt/alkaline /sweet combinations... not all the same. The caesar salad was a typical looking caesar and it tasted okay except for the sweetness in the dressing. Not sure where that is from but it doesn't work. Then the ribeye fro the entree was okay, not great not bad... ate a few bites and saved the rest for the dog. Very nice looking restaurant, nice and attentive staff, but am now highly skeptical of the food. My guess is that it will be another year, maybe two, until I try this place again. read more

The quality of the food here is absolutely unbeatable. The service was as good as it gets. We've been twice (it's pricey) and I was impressed both times. For lunch I got a lamb sandwich that was absolutely amazing, my mouth is watering just thinking about now. The chef changes the menu from time to time but I will guarantee that whatever you get will be delicious. A must if you want good American food. read more

This was my first visit to the restaurant and I was very impressed. They took the time for all of the little details to make it a great experience. The food was delicious and our waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu and explained the dishes perfectly. read more

Needs a new hostess! When we walked in she asked if she could help us then rudely turned away from us to seat her friends. Not a good first impression of this restaurant and probably won't be back. read more

I couldn't find anything wrong with this place. The service is ultra efficient, fast and friendly. Never was I left with an empty glass or dirty plate for longer than a couple minutes. The food was great and refreshing from the stale, upscale "old New Orleans" style restaurants in the area. I like to see young restaurants succeed on the Northshore because the clientele is brutal. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone! read more

The crab sandwich is delicious! The staff are great. We have lived around the corner for almost a year, and only recently noticed the restaurant. Wow, have we been missing out! Looking forward to eating here often. read more

What a horrible experience. We were there a few months age and got a burnt pizza. They handled it well, but not great food. Tonight, we tried again. Food was good, drinks were good. Server was ok, although every time I thanked him he said "no problem". That's great, because serving someone who pays shouldn't be a problem. Try "my pleasure" or " you're welcome". Great food! Towards the end of the meal, the dining room filled with smoke and the majority of the patrons stepped outside, including our waiter. We waited for him to pick up our check and finally handed it to someone else who was more attentive than he. After 2 issues with the oven and ventilation, we're done. This isn't just one poor experience. Now 2, a few months apart. So sad, we loved this place. read more

Just left Pardos on a last minute reservation. The specials were outstanding and you had fish, meat, and veggie type options. Very few NOLA restaurant s are in the same realm. Their dessert is not really named yet but it's the one with the cookie,banana and chocolate read more

Went earlier this fall and was very impressed. The location in a strip mall kinda odd, but the space is attractive and the service was good. Had the crabmeat eggplant stack appetizer which was very good and then a salmon asian fusion dish which was delicious. Salmon with a coconut lemongrass broth on zoodles and ramen. The broth tasted like a ramen packet - it was actually very elegantly presented. Did not have room to try dessert, but this is on our list to go back and try. Worth a trip across the lake. read more

Had a great family dinner at Pardos. Delicious food and craft cocktails. Love the open kitchen. Does not feel like you are dining in a strip mall once you walk in. read more

Ordered a chicken and shrimp dish at lunch and it tasted as if they'd poured vegetable oil over the whole thing. When brought to the waiter's attention he said it was topped with a butter and egg sauce that probably broke. Thanks. read more

So appreciate this fine dining option in our little corner of the Northshore. Amid a slew of chain restaurants and national retailers, this little restaurant turns out finely crafted cocktails, inventive dinner specials, impressive small plates and desserts. We like to select a few appetizers and cocktails then maybe order a salad and entree to trade back and forth. Leaves room for dessert!! The hardest thing is that the wine list is also spectacular. If you're going to enjoy everything this place has to offer, you might need to designate a driver. read more

Can you say Scrumptious? Everything from the second we walked in the door was unbelievable! Paige was an excellent, attentive server, who helped us make all the right choices with drinks. The pear martini with sage... Wow. Chef Daniel was ridiculous with his dishes, I felt like we were on Top Chef, his food was Amazing!! From the Cremona mushroom appetizers to the smoked salt tenderloin, it was Delicious. Every Bite. Chef Alex did a phenomenal job with the grill, the Brick chicken was mouthwatering. Love love Pardo's!! read more

This is a sophisticated, classy restaurant with great food and good, friendly servers! Perfect for a nice evening out or for a special occasion. read more

The food is FABULOUS!!! I have had the pork belly twice-one of the most amazing dishes i have ever had!!! The "bleu salad" is to die for, and my husband LOVES the filet!!! The service is OUTSTANDING!!! Especially our waitress, Maria:) read more

Delicious food, semi casual atmosphere with upscale flavor. Went for lunch and I can't wait to try it again.

A great restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food. However, it is extremely expensive and as long as you know that going in, you will have a memorable meal. I tried two appetizers, the scallops and the grilled oysters. The scallops should be called scallop as I only got one. It was good, but I expected more than one. The oysters were great, all six of them. So, I would get the oysters over the scallops. For dinner, I tried the drum with fried oysters and spinach. It was wonderful. I also tried the veal special which was on top of paleo. It was okay. Both entrees were huge and served piping hot, which was a pleasant surprise. I would rate the fish over the veal. For dessert, I tried the cheesecake and vanilla ice cream. Both were big portions, but not better than any store bought cheesecake and ice cream. The server was animated which most of my party enjoyed, but I'm not into that sort of service. Just be attentive, which they were, and forget about entertaining. Again, most of my party enjoyed it, I did not. Great experience, but very expensive. read more

I will preface my review by stating that the atmosphere is nice, food is good and servers are great. The night manager is an unprofessional nightmare. Due to his atrocious behavior, I will never return to that restaurant again. This gentleman, and I use that term loosely, loudly chastised two servers that were trying their best to give good customer service. He did this in front of the entire restaurant instead of speaking to them away from the clientele. The night manager went on to yell at us across the building that the restaurant had closed 45 minutes ago. And he informed us the server was only 17. This, in my humble opinion, was an insinuation that we were trying to flirt with the young man which was certainly not the case. We were both completely mortified by the experience and quickly left the restaurant after paying the bill. My friend apologized to the server since we had gotten him into trouble. We said absolutely nothing derogatory about the manager. This man, followed us out to the car and yelled at us again. My friend simply said we do not appreciate being yelled at across a restaurant. We got into the car and left. This place is literally 8 minutes from my home. I adore the truffle fries and have been there many times. It is a shame that I no longer feel comfortable returning. This man must of gotten his hotel and restaurant management degree online from an unaccredited institution of higher learning. He should not be managing a fast food restaurant much less a high end eating establishment. I will take my money to Del Porto, La Provence, Lola (on the weekends), Ox Lot 9 or Dakota. They know how to treat a customer! read more

My wife and I went here for Valentines Day, service was top notch and the food was even better. Great atmosphere, very good wine list, wonderful service and absolutely great food. I could not have asked for and thing better. read more

I had hoped to write a review of the food at Pardos but instead must address their service. We were looking for an excellent place on the Northshore for a dinner on Mardi Gras for my husband and me and two close friends. We used to live in New Orleans but were just visiting now. It would be our only chance for a nice dinner in the area for a long time. My husband had booked an online reservation using their web site. Realizing that Mardi Gras Day might be an unusual time, He called the restaurant to reconfirm the reservation and they assured him they would be open for that day. When we drove up at the appropriate time, Pardos was completely dark. If their plans to be open had changed, perhaps they could have called him since his phone number was included in the reservation information. Needless to say, we are VERY displeased with service from Pardos. So much for the claim on their web site: "Pardos takes pride in accommodating patrons at our restaurant". read more
