Best Lunch Restaurants in Uptown

My wife and I are NOLA natives visiting after being gone for ten years. The food at Tableau was great and the atmosphere was beautiful (I’d worked in the building years ago and could barely recognize it by the new floor plan). Even my two kids (7 and 9) enjoyed their meals and the experience. Touring the building after the meal was worth the trip. Thank you to Sabrina and Kayla for the service, and to Ruby who took the time to guide us to the “secret room” where some celebrities have dined. Thank you, also, to Tanya who took our picture on the balcony overlooking Jackson Square. Those personal touches made the night really special. I’m glad we chose this place over the dozens of other offerings in New Orleans.

Wonderful experience from the front door throughout! The ambiance was 5 Stars. We made reservations for Thanksgiving dinner (night) and were greeted and seated quickly. The waiter (Devon) and his partner were great in explaining options and key items, including taking note of allergies at the table. The food options were great and plentiful. We started with crab fingers and Pork Belly over cheese grits. Followed by the Turducken with cranberry sauce, sweet potato souffle, and oyster dressing. The second plate of Turducken came with spinach, crab mac, and cheese, which were all very tasty. We were full and had to take our desserts to go. The wait staff was pleasant, attentive, swift, and responsive. I really appreciated the level of service and quality. I highly recommend it and will return when I am back in town!

I am local and have not eaten here in a couple of years but was pleasantly surprised to find the food and service was as good as ever. It is in the Brennan owned family restaurants which are the epitome of New Orleans cuisine.

Lovely & tasty, as always. We had a super helpful young lady waiter. She was delightful. Food is always excellent. We went on the early side — 11:30 — so at first it was wonderfully quiet and even as things picked up & families came in with children, it was not too loud ever, just festive.

This is our old faithful. When we all lived in town we were frequent guest of Apolline! From the candied bacon, the biscuits, bottomless mimosas! Nothing ever disappoints!
