re: Anybody been to Tableau yet?

I think you'll have a good meal. I'm interested in any stand out dishes if there are any.

One more try. Has anyone been for dinner? I've got an early reservation tomorrow. What's the go to stuff.

Paging BlackenedOut

I haven't seen any other threads on it and there are no ratings or reviews in the dining guide.

Not sure if it matters to anyone, but Fitzmorris wrote a pretty negative sounding review of the place. Of course it goes with the standard garbage about it being too knew, etc, but the pictures of the food and review it seem like they were going for the typical tourist trap experence or something.

I'm sure things will get better and I can't wait to dine on their upstairs balcony when the weather gets better.

It's hard for me to pass up Muriel's on the other side of the square, or K Paul's right down the street if the place doesn't have a solid rating. Also there is that place almost right next door that is supposed to be excellent.


ETA Sylvain

Fitzmorris nor Brett Anderson have been yet either, it seems.

Hate to trust yelp. Thanks anyway

Never been to Tableau, but I can say that Sylvain blows Muriel's out of the water. Probably Tableau too, considering the "quality" of most other Brennan's egg-forward restaurants.

Haven't been, can't say I am in any hurry to get over there.

Just realized I never posted the review. Party of 4 went on a Friday night. Sat in the bar area which was LOUD until the theatre crowd left. Started with the appetizer platter, which was just bad. Small mealy crab claws, tiny shrimp, etc. Bread service was pretty sad as well - one tiny piece per person. The meal improved from there, however. All of the entrees were pronounced to be delicious. The drinks are well-poured. The dessert list is large and our choices were well-received. I would go back again, but with managed expectations.
