About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
Founded in 1913, this family-run, Italian-Creole restaurant is located in uptown New Orleans. It is famous for creating barbecued shrimp.

This neighborhood restaurant is vintage New Orleans, from the service to the decor. The oyster bar is always manned by a friendly shucker. The oysters are fresh, salty, and delicious.

The old time oyster bar and cocktail bar offers raw oysters on the half shell and all types of cocktails. We offer fine seafood, Italian specialties, and delicious steaks.

In 2023, Dickie Brennan & Co. welcomed Pascal's Manale into their restaurant family.

    Legendary restaurant, but not pleased with the food or service. Turtle soup was served warm but not hot. Best thing about their food was the wonderful New Orleans French bread.

    Bill, I am dismayed to hear about your experience on Tuesday for lunch. Warm soup and less than stellar service is not what we're about! I apologize for the afore mentioned and would really appreciate you giving us another opportunity to have you back. Please follow up on the private for my contact information which I'll send right after this. On a positive, our bread really is NOLA comfort food! Thanks for taking time to communicate your feedback as it is very important to us. Take care, Lee

    Great food, great service. Our waiter, Carter, was exceptional. This will be on our list of restaurants to go to every year we go back to NOLA.

    Service was slow. Both the main menu’s baked oysters were overly filled and they weren’t good. The specialty oyster of the vending was good. The gumbo was mids and overpriced for what it was. Our entrees took a very long time and their specialty bbq shrimp dish was overcooked and underwhelming. They did comp out entrees which was appreciated and deserved. I guess it’s always a good idea to choose the newer spots over the ones that have name recognition and have given up on prioritizing food quality. 3.6/10. Won’t be back

    The bar area is the most fun. BBQ Shrimp (specialty of the house!) was a letdown, as was the crab remoulade - not much character or flavor. Stick with the pan roast... it's great.
