Crab canneloni
E E.

The August "Taste of Tammany" 3-course menu is excellent. Some of our favorites were the Crab Canneloni, Italian Wedding Soup, Shrimp Scampi, and Braised Beef Short Ribs. Veal Piccata (from regular menu) was also excellent. Our server, Briana, and the manager, Sam, were both so attentive & helpful.

Delicious hydrating mocktail

We are frequent Pardos patrons and will remain so. Its convenient location, just across the road from Beau Chene makes it a staple in our dining rotation. Beyond that, the food and service are simply perfect every time. I enjoyed some small plates last night, including an espresso martini, the tuna crisp and the soup de jour: tomato basil. Everything was served at the perfect temp, cold for drinks and crisp and piping hot for the soup. The martini was standalone and had the perfect hints of chocolate essence and level of sweetness. It was more coffee than liqueur which I loved and the drink was pleasant without it tasting too much like the spirit. I do mine with gin and they always do such a great job. The tuna crudo was good, and presented so nice with a pour-over of the agua chile tableside. I do feel like it was missing some spice and salt, leaving it to fall a bit flat. However it was incredibly fresh! The soup was a perfect way to end my night, light enough but also filling. So creamy and good. A major thank you and recognition for Nathan. He is an excellent bartender, server and had amazing suggestions for menu items and drinks. He kindly asked the kitchen for extra requests and helped making our dining experience memorable. As my friends ran late, I was seated at the bar alone for a while and he was personable and engaging.

Shepherd's pie at Pardos Bistro

My wife and I stopped by Pardos Bistro in Mandeville for a Friday lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Pardos sports a very well tailored, white table cloth persona that is both elegant and contemporary and its wait staff is welcoming and also quite attentive, but not too much so. The quality of their efficient staff is really noteworthy, especially in this post pandemic world, in which truly good table service has all but evaporated. Today I enjoyed the Shepherd's pie, which was very good and attractively presented in an iron skillet. My wife liked her tomato, basil, pesto pasta, which was moderately spicy and really sumptuous. Our accompanying bread, Caesar salads, and iced teas were all very good. Pardos has a nice bar area, an excellent wine list and an assortment of specialty cocktails. Although we did not partake today, there was an impressive-sounding array of desserts, among which we were told that the bread pudding is a primo offering. Reservations are recommended for evenings and we look forward to returning to try the dinner offerings. Pardos Bistro is highly recommended!

If you haven't been to Pardos in Mandeville yet, you're missing out on an unforgettable dining experience. We absolutely LOVE their food (and especially love their drinks) We eat here at LEAST once a week. My favorite is their Beef Carpaccio!! A true standout!! Speaking of standouts ... we just HAVE to talk about their head waitress Briana. Let me tell you, she's not just a waitress--she's a superstar! Briana ALWAYS goes above and beyond to make our dining experience unforgettable. She was so sweet and thoughtful with our son, Camden, that it melted our hearts. She even went out of her way to go to the store before our arrival to get crayons and coloring sheets for him--talk about next-level service! Her kindness, attention to detail, and warm personality truly made our night special. Briana isn't just the best waitress we've ever had--she deserves an award for her dedication to making every guest feel valued. Oh wait, she GOT ONE. She was named the BEST waitress on the NorthShore. If you're lucky enough to have her as your waitress, you're in for an incredible experience! You really can't go wrong ordering any of their food b/c Chef Ryan is the Best!! He is the heart and soul of Pardos' menu. His creativity and expertise are evident in every bite, with dishes that not only look stunning but are bursting with flavor. The menu has something for everyone, If you're in Mandeville and craving an exceptional meal, do yourself a favor and head to Pardos. Chef Ryan / Briana & the entire team will make sure your taste buds leave thanking you!

Went to Pardo's last night for the first time. We were celebrating our anniversary early and we had reservations. Our server was amazing. She was also the somalier so she not only gave us wine pairing recommendations but described each dish in detail with how it's cooked and the ingredients. I'm sorry I didn't remember her name. We ordered the crab cake appetizer which was the most amazing and we have tried them everywhere. We stuck to standard menu items even though the specials sounded amazing. I ordered the trout topped with lump crab and shrimp. Hubby got the pork chop. Now he's a pork chop connoisseur and he really liked it. We chose not to order dessert but They brought us a banana cream pie. I think everyone who's celebrating something gets the same thing complimentary. Overall it was a great meal.

A beautiful evening complete with great cocktails and food! Truly perfect in every way. We loved the specials, pork, calamari and steak and expert guidance on wine list - 10/10! Service by Macy and wine team amazing!

My server gave me a card.

The ambiance, the service, and the food was excellent! Best birthday dinner in a long time. I will be going back.

Smoked Shishito peppers over charred corn reduction with pickled pepper, jalepeno, crisped mushroom and feta.

I have been venturing out to favorite restaurants since my wife's passing and Pardos was always a favorite, so there I was at my favorite able in this beautifully appointed restaurant. Had gone in with a specific entree in mind, but my waitress Brianna informed me that they had just changed up the Gnocchi presentation (actually gnudi - gnocchi like dumpling with ricotta and no potato) and the description was intriguing. She was also able to tempt me with an appetizer special of smoked shishito peppers with crisp mushrooms served over a charred corn reduction. Both dishes were incredible as was the cocktail. Plus, they have a great selection of wines by the glass. Service was attentive without being over present and all the staff were knowledgeable about the food being offered. I cannot wait to go back. My youngest son and his family are anxious to join me.

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful! The interior has a very elegant, upscale feel, with…read moreextravagant decor and so much attention to detail. You can tell a lot of thought and effort went into creating the atmosphere, even down to the restrooms, which were spotless and beautifully decorated. I think this would be a cute spot for a girls' brunch, a date, or a special occasion. They also offer cocktails, and I found the prices to be reasonable for the type of experience they are trying to provide. One thing worth mentioning is that the exterior does not quite match the interior. The restaurant is located in a shopping center, so you might not expect such a fancy atmosphere when you first arrive. They also have outdoor seating, which is cute but doesn't necessarily reflect the upscale vibe inside. Unfortunately, I felt the service and food didn't quite live up to the atmosphere. There was only one server working during my visit, and although she was pleasant enough, she wasn't particularly attentive. There were only two occupied tables, including mine, yet I eventually had to walk up to the bar to request my check because she never returned to my table. I also think the staff's appearance could better reflect the restaurant's presentation. With such an elegant, high-end interior, casual cotton polo shirts and messy buns seem a little out of place. A more polished uniform or dress code would really help complete the experience. I was also a little confused by the daily specials. I was told there were two specials, a quiche and a soup, but neither appeared to have special pricing or anything particularly different from the regular offerings. I ordered the soup, which had corn and potatoes. It was okay, but I found it rather bland and lacking flavor. It essentially tasted like corn and potatoes without much else to make it memorable. Overall, the atmosphere is definitely the highlight of this restaurant. The decor is gorgeous, the space feels luxurious, and the prices are fair. However, I think the service, staff presentation, and food could use some improvement to truly match the experience the restaurant is trying to create. I'm not sure I would personally return, but I would still recommend giving it a try if you're looking for somewhere different or a pretty place to celebrate a special occasion!

The espresso flight included pumpkin spice, toasted marshmallow, and cinnamon and all were DELICIOUS! They were full sized and very reasonably priced. The Pumpkin Spice White Russian was a bit of a miss, but our waiter was very accommodating. For starters, we got the Seafood Dip and Zydeco Egg rolls. We knew after these arrived that this would be a new favorite spot. The seafood in both dishes was plentiful and we could not get enough of both dishes. For entrees, the table has the Skirt Steak, Bayou Mac and Cheese, Hot Honey Pepperoni Pinsa, Shrimp and Crawfish Gouda Grits, and Cajun Pasta. We were sharing with one another and did not find anything we didn't like. We decided the pizza was our favorite. The crust was perfect! For dessert, we had the Biscoff Bread Pudding and Blueberry Crumble Cheesecake. The bread pudding was so well done. It wasn't too sweet and the strawberries were perfect! The vibes were super cool with the moody lighting and table lamp. The art was very sleek and modern. We had a great waiter who gave us recommendations, checked in on us often, and was overall very accommodating. One of the best parts, is that for all of our meal we paid a very reasonable price for a quality that was super high. I couldn't recommend this place more!!!

What an amazing experience with service, ambience and the exceptional flavors this restaurant…read moreoffers! Truly the biggest gem in Madisonville! We dined here late lunch/early dinner. The decor from street view of the restaurant is welcoming and yet, once you walk inside it gives you the artsy, modern & sophistication to another world. I was pleasantly surprised and admire this take in its art form. We ordered 3 plates to share, Calamari, Cevice Clasico, & Pulpo Anticuchero & a couple Pisco sours. Each dish was plated and cooked perfectly, especially the octopus. Octopus is usually overcooked in most establishments, but not here... it was melt in your mouth outstanding. I honestly can reorder those plates again for the next visit because they are actually that outstanding. They do have a speakeasy (upstairs) open on Friday's and Saturdays which is themed to Scarface and even have a connecting outside front patio lounge to that. Unfortunately they weren't open at the time, as we visited on a Sunday. But we still got a pretty cool tour by our awesome server. Needless to say, this place has won our hearts and we will be back to try more! Note: if all the parking spots are taken in front of the river, there is ample parking right behind the restaurant.

We asked for the sweet plantains (a side) as an appetizer and enjoyed this choice. Then a mahi mahi based octopus ceviche and a parmesan encrusted chicken over one of the better pestos I've tasted, and the green pasta was cooked al dente not overcooked like the majority of restaurants. I apologize for the absence of food pics though leaving a review was an afterthought but felt a necessity after the quality of the food.
