I had planned a nice dinner for our family and decided to give Tableau a try (despite the mixed reviews I had seen on Reddit, Facebook, etc) and it was a mistake. The food was pretty good (the fondue app, almondine fish and dessert in particular) but the service was really bad and frankly ruined the whole experience. Our server (James) was aloof and condescending...and gave bad service to boot. Do yourself a favor and skip this place and try one of many other great restaurants in NO read more

Why yes, I did show up just for the crab cheesecake and bananas foster (formally of the Palace Cafe) and they did not disappoint. Kyle's knowledge of the building & restaurant history really made the whole experience next-level! read more

Upscale setting and quality food. Tableau is an oasis in a desert of average quality options in the Quarter. This spot may not be for the average Joe or Jane but if you're looking for class and quality then look no further. New Orleans is a mecca of great food and I find myself wanting to go back to Tableau the next day. read more

One of our most memorable meals in New Orleans! We had the pleasure of dining here during the week leading to Christmas and the restaurant was festive and well attended. Our server Ms.Ashley was by far the best server you could ask for. Her charming warm smile greeted us, as she explained the specials and allowed us time to soak in the menu to determine a choice. The RedFish with Almonds was so delicious. We opted for a cup of Gumbo n Rice for starters and it was very good too. The finale of our meal was the Chocolate Torte, that was rich smooth and intense. We certainly recommend this place , and should you be lucky to request for Ms Ashley's area, you're gonna have a great meal with impeccable service. Thank you for a wonderful meal! read more

We made a reservation as this was my friends favorite restaurant in New Orleans. The inside is very large and the tables are far apart giving you lots of space and privacy. The inside decoration is nice and the servers are very friendly. I got the truffle crab claws. I probably won't recommend getting them. Although they were good for 19 bucks the amount of meat was very underwhelming. I also got the gulf fish almondine which was very tasty. read more

Location and ambiance were great. Food was good but not amazing. We got the truffle crab claws, mussels/frites, and shrimps and grits. The truffle crab claws were flavorful but to be honest the truffle oil was the only flavor here. The claws came already cracked so they were super easy to eat. The mussels came in a white wine sauce and I think they didn't cook off the wine because it tasted strongly of alcohol. The shrimp and grits were very tasty. The grits came with sausage, garlic bits, and a semi spicy sauce. Pretty flavorful and hearty. I really liked the flavor profile here but the shrimp was slightly overcooked. Still, I really enjoyed this dish. The bartender seemed moody. Not friendly. It made sitting at the bar feel weird. But the cocktails came quick and were very tasty, so at least he was good at his craft. read more

This was a charming little venue for a private event! Food is decent but we especially enjoyed having our own space upstairs in the Parlor. Great service provided by our bartender at the open bar and a variety of alcohol options available for our group. Our dinner started with Duck & Andouille Gumbo, which was probably my favorite from this meal. The BBQ Shrimp & Grits were also pretty good, and the Crème Brûlée was okay. This place had a very classy vibe and the best part about our room was the courtyard view over the balcony - a great place for photo ops! read more

While on a road trip we took a detour to New Orleans and wound up in the French Quarter for Sunday brunch. The location is perfect, right on Jackson Square, and our party of two was sat right away. I had the special which was an eggs benedict with fried oyster and beef au jus. The textures were so unique and the flavor was on point. I loved this dish and wish I could get it again. There was a band coming around to each table and accepting requests. They were incredible and the vibe was top tier. We got bottomless mimosas and the waiter offered us to go cups so we could walk around the French Quarter with them. Absolutely would return! read more

Two things: 1) make a reservation for an upstairs table outside & 2) ask for Ruby and order whatever drinks & food Ruby recommends!

The service here is great. It seems as if everyone is doing their best to ensure a flawless experience. Meg was our waitress and we couldn't have asked for better service. Great attitude, friendly and helpful. Shout out to D'mon! This guy was running food and drinks up and down the stairs, quickly, with perfect balance and seemed to never get tired, always with a smile on his face. The food here was amazing. We ate on the second floor with a view of the street. I'm sure if the weather was warmer a seat on the balcony would be better. Especially the Caesar's salad; although not the authentic Mexican recipe, this one was elevated. Talk about great. The French onion soup was delicious. We enjoyed several of the craft signature cocktails and they did not disappoint. We also enjoyed a bottle of wine from their well rounded wine list. Our steak was cooked perfectly and so tender that I just used my fork to cut it. We ended our meal with the crème brûlée. All I have to say is that I have never had crème brûlée in this presentation and now I don't want it any other way. Save room for dessert! Thanks again! read more

First time in New Orleans and celebrated with a nice dinner, southern style! Pasta Bouillabaisse was slightly briny with an array of seafood, spicy and citrusy rouille, and fresh dill and basil. Shrimp & Grits... hands down the BEST grits, I've ever had. Every bite was deliciously creamy, topped with garlic chips. Turtle soup was quite tasty. Apprehensive at first, the soup was topped with sherry (straight from the bottle!) and wow, every sip was spicy and hearty. Turtle meat has the consistency of ground beef, but almost melts in your mouth like tofu. Creole French Onion Soup was a little sweet for my taste, thought the onions could've been caramelized longer for a more natural sweetness. Truffled Crab Claws are the new hot girl summer app! Boujee and fresh, biting into the juicy crab meat with shaved black truffle was quite the flavor combo! Crème brûlée was the BEST, I've ever had! Cracking the torched surface is so satisfying, but every bite was a wonderful mix of vanilla and caramel. So much fresh vanilla bean! If you find yourself in New Orleans, make a reservation and check this place out! read more

So many restaurants in New Orleans but I really wanted to try something new; and SO SO SO HAPPY we came here for dinner since it was magical. They are in one of those corner buildings in the French Quarter that look amazing and it was right next to Jackson Square and the Saint Louis Cathedral. I went in and it was just as nice inside. The bar wasn't very big but it was nice and VERY BUSY. We were sat at a table right away in the main dining room. I had a view of the open kitchen and my hubby had a great view of their outside courtyard located in the middle of the restaurant. I husband loved his French Onion Soup appetizer and his Gulf Fish Almondine but even he said my dinner was the best part of the entire meal. I absolutely loved my Pasta Bouillabaisse; it was loaded with seafood over squid ink pasta in a very light sauce/broth. Even though we both were full, my hubby couldn't resist trying their Creme Brûlée (it was soooooo huge !). He loved it but I couldn't even take a taste since i was ready to explode. read more

BEST Crème brulée ever!! Love love this spot! Especially for a special meal. The balcony and courtyard seating is my favorite! The dining room is quite nice, as well. As a nola local, I've been to Tableau for several occasions and always still love this spot. As a vegetarian, I can always find something interesting and delicious here. I love the brown butter gnocchi, the maison salad and the happy hour cheese board. read more

Tableau is on my top 5 lists of must eats in NOLA. It is a Brennans restaurant and that comes with great service, food, and atmosphere. The balcony view is the best of Jackson Square period. The downstairs has the upscale NOLA feel, but I like the second floor for views. Even if you not in it for a meal the bar, there is an upstairs and downstairs, is a great spot to grab an adult beverage in the French Quarter. This is a great place for brunch, lunch, or dinner. I can't say enough about the restaurant. Maybe I eat here once a month and living in NOLA we have many options so I think that says something. Drink up my friends! read more

My French onion soup was superb and quite a hardy serving. My son had the turtle soup and said it was good but not as good as Mandina's. He had the Wagyu Denver steak as his entree and raved about it. My husband, the food credit he is, ordered the Tableau cheeseburger, he loved it. Better be hungry though,it a very thick ground steak cooked to perfection. I ordered the strawberry salad with fried oysters added. The salad was very good and the oysters,excellent! The hostess and waitstaff were professional and friendly, catering to you with big smiles. The thing I like most was the atmosphere. It was elegant but comfortable. I will definitely be visiting again. read more

We dined on the balcony on April 28. The service was wonderful. The food was very appealing though some items had some issues. The waygu steak was tough. The TARTE À LA BOUILLIE was delicious.

Tableau - This is how the soup arrived to our table. Absolutely ridiculous for an upscale restaurant. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Loved the outdoor dining experience here, which overlooks Jackson Square. The truffled crab claw appetizer and gulf fish almondine were both delicious, but the pasta bouillabaise was awful. The pasta was extremely al dente and there was no delicious bouillabaise-y broth or sauce that you would expect with this dish. Instead, you get a smear of what I assume is concentrated bouillabaise broth (assuming so because it's read) and a shallow broth that's not typical bouillabaise. We didn't complain but we also weren't asked how the food was. If you get the right dishes, this is a winner, but that pasta really killed the meal for us. read more

What's better than BEING A TOURIST IN YOUR OWN TOWN? Today was a spontaneous day it was AND what better place to spend it, than in the French Quarters? I'm listening... ok you agree, THERE'S NO BETTER PLACE. Located on the corner of Chartres + St Peters, this dining establishment was the place for me TODAY!!! I was greeted by fine, well uniformed wait staff. They took me to my table to meet my awaiting guest. Dining indoors or outdoors on the patio was the question. Upstairs, outdoor patio please. The stairs were a surprisingly unwelcome treat, I wondered where was the elevator (lol). Wearing a mask & climbing stairs was a challenge, but I persevered. The server was pleasant and informative. She delivered iced water in a REAL WATER GLASS & a mini loaf of bread with warm butter... ummmm, Tableau you had me at HELLO. The food was delivered in a timely fashion. I found the gumbo to be seasoned well, but a little like a gravy versus a roux. The blackened fish in the ciabatta bread was moist and well seasoned. The pommes frites that accompanied the sandwich were hearty and filling. French 75, mimosas & the Old Fashioned were perfect & to my pleasing. I mean messing up a cocktail is a cardinal sin in my book. For the most part, everything was tasty and quite to our satisfaction. I loooooved, loveeeddddd, loveeedddd the ambiance of the restaurant. Inside & outside IS A VIBE!!!! Parking is a challenge. Excellent service, fit for a king/queen, classic Dickie Brennan's style. I'll be back... read more

Service was perfect, professional, efficient, and motivated. Food was really good, taste wasn't exceptional but really good. Food portions are what is expected at fine dining, but not small. Presentation was good. Balcony seating was the best of the dining experience. Escargot was prepared on a different platform and presentation. It was very good, appetizer portion is for one person. The duck andouille gumbo was good and we divided it between two people for a good tasting and portion. The shrimp wrap and frites were excellent. Mimosas and cocktails were refreshing. read more

Had a festive holiday dinner with colleagues in the upstairs private room at Tableau this week. The room was decked out with holiday decor a private bar and the largest most delicious caricature cheese and meat board I've ever seen - amazing! We had fixed menus where the appetizer and salad were not what I would have ordered but I was able to share it with others at my table and had doubled up on the caricature board so I was good. The entree gulf fish and beef béarnaise both got great reviews from all in our party and I really did enjoy the beef béarnaise. The dessert creole custard may have been the best part of the meal and had a cream soda vanilla rich flavor with a French pastry topping and rich thick bottom flavorful crust. read more

Came here based on previous Yelp reviews stating that they can modify dishes for vegans. Nice ambiance but they don't have anything on the menu that is vegan. They were able to modify a salad and provide a side of veggies that were not cooked in butter. I realize that New Orleans isn't going to have many options for vegans, but would think that restaurants would figure out how to have at least one vegan entree option on their menu. read more

Absolutely love the food at this restaurant, we have gone multiple times each trip we make down to nola. The food is top notch, get the crab claw appetizer it's divine! The pork chop is massive and heavenly. Usually the service is divine but unfortunately we popped in on Halloween night and sat at the bar which apparently was a mistake. We had Greg, who when greeting us right off the bar was curt and quick to want to get our order. One of our friends was along about one of the drinks, read of one of the ingredients and was asking what type of drink it was based off. And greg just responded well you just read the ingredients so there you go. Didn't give any insight if it was their take on a whiskey sour or an old fashioned, and our friend tried to portray that was what he was asking and Greg just responded it's a mixed drink is what it is. So we just ordered after being very put off by how rude he responded, ordered appetizers which he wasn't listening and got the order wrong. Another couple came up after us and he was also extremely rude to them and trying to hurry them along as well. It's extremely unfortunate, the other times we have gone here we have received exceptional service and this time Greg treated us like we were the fly in his gumbo. read more

I came for lunch with a group of 10. It was awful. Service non-existent. Although restaurant was empty, took 10 minutes to seat us. I ordered a burger medium rare without bacon. It came out with bacon and might as well had been shoe leather how well done it was. Worst part, no one came over to check how we were doing. Service just awful! They said they took it off, but as no one came over to explain the bill of 10 people, I serious doubt it. NoLA has too many great restaurants. Stay far away! read more

Beautiful fine dining setting, from the courtyard to the bars and dining rooms. Most definitely a perfect spot for group dining. The location is also prime, directly next to the cathedral and Jackson square. I highly recommend the gnocchi and oyster pan appetizers. A few mentioned that they go heavy on the pepper - which some preferred against, but I enjoyed it on my steak. The service was also wonderful. Thank you, Mya B, for a fantastic birthday dinner.

We live in the Quarter and stopped by for lunch. For a Brennan's restaurant it was underwhelming. No, it was not good. We split a soup, salad and main course, which the server said she could split onto separate bowls/plates, which was great. The soup that arrived was the wrong soup, but we were happy to try their gumbo (they did offer to give us both soups, but that would have been too much). The gumbo was good. The salad had big chunks of old, rusted pieces of romaine in it (I had to cut off an end of a romaine heart), with very sparse dressing. We order the poached eggs, and both eggs were fully cooked. We sent them back, and on the second try mine was still over-cooked (a bit runny, but not up to the standards of a restaurant like this). Anyhow, the staff was good, but the kitchen wasn't putting its best foot forward on a quiet, hot, slow Sunday. I post this in the hopes that this will improve things. I want this place to succeed, but we won't be back for a while (they compted the soup, so they know). Tip your waiters and bar staff! read more

Came in on a Thursday for happy hour with my parents while in town, and honestly? We've never seen a staff more checked out on their phones ever, and we've worked in the industry for decades. It was slow. There was less than 5 tables in the entire restaurant. We know how it's goes, but then we got some cold food because the staff was too checked out to run it before it got cold. We had to send our bartender to check on it because it had taken so long. Our bartender Derek was great. Fast, efficient, and paying attention to his guests, but he can't do everyone's job for them. Drinks were great and the food tasted great... once it got to us. The gnocchi and the frites were phenomenal. Goat cheese was great. The pulled pork sliders were cold but could've been amazing. The atmosphere of the place was cool, if a little empty, would've loved to have seen it when it was more full, but I guess it doesn't get too busy during happy hour. We were so excited to come to a New Orleans classic, but honestly we couldn't come back to have hosts who would rather scroll on her phone and be anywhere else and where the food runners are FaceTiming and on TikTok instead of running the only ticket in the restaurant. I really am not exaggerating when I say every single time we turned to look at the line or host stand we saw people, leaned over on their phone and acting like having to do their job was an inconvenience to them, and we were there over an hour. We watched the managers walk by and not say anything to the 5 different team members openly on their phones for our entire visit, and some even had AirPods in while they worked. The one manager on the floor seemed like he was too busy being their friend to say anything and he pulled out his phone too... The dining room servers and the female manager seemed to be on top of it and professional when they walked by, but even when we left, the hosts didn't look up, and there were two young servers on their phones standing in front of the door talking to the hosts. This place has so much potential with a great history, location, and menu, but the execution by the support staff left much to be desired. read more
