We have reservations at both tonight.....which one should we keep? We are only about 5 blocks away from Herbsaint and Clancy's looks like quite the journey uptown. Is the food better at one or the other or is it a win win no matter what I decide?

Herbsaint has better food and clancys has better service/environment.

That's been my experience.

Both are great. You are close to Herbsaint. Done deal.

I sent some family members to clancy's the week before last and they were upset with me. It's been a while since I went but they didn't like it that much. They are the bougie arm of my family, so I thought it was right up their alley.

They are both great. I would give a slight nod to Clancy's but it is close enough that I would let the convenience factor come in to play and go to Herbsaint.

I'm a huge fan of proximity, but I think I'd still go with Clancys, ESP if you've never been. Good service, impressive bourbon list, and great food. I will say, I've been to Herbsaint twice, and wasn't impressed (maybe just didn't order well)

Either way can't go wrong - ENJOY!

Herbsaint is consideribly more consistant and creative. Clancy's is nice, but it's a regulars joint(and if you're asking...you're not one).

It's also a pretty dated menu.


Ducks out.

I would go with herbsaint and in my opinion it's not even close.

Tried Clancy's for the first time a few months ago. Food was good, service not so good. While the decor was not my style, it wouldn't keep me from going back.

Not going back because of the service. If I lived in the area I might become a regular in hopes their service would improve.

Too many great places to eat that are closer to where we stay (in the Quarter).

Herbsaint. I get why people live Clancy's but it doesnt move my needle from a cooking side. Have always found the food very bland. But its a good spot to have a martini and a fried oysters with brie.

Double-booking reservations? Dick move. Make sure you call to cancel one so other people can eat
