Everything was absolutely fantastic! The bar staff were fabulous, the wine was superb, and Gabi provided excellent service to help with wine selections. Of course, the fries were amazing—as was our entire dinner out, especially the new dishes we tried.

First time dining at Tableau and were so happy we tried it out. Hubby and I shared the Smoked Whitefish spread with Saltines for an appetizer, and the Coq au Vin entree. Both were delicious and perfect share portions for us. Still raving about the Coq au Vin the day after. It is an "elevated" presentation (as described by our server). The bistro was very busy, but everyone helped each other and service was great. Great cocktail and wine selection. Will definitely return.

The waiter was amazing, and the hostess even let me charge my phone. As a burger aficionado, this might be the best burger I have ever had, and the waiter's suggestion of the mushroom au jus made it even better.

While inside can be quite loud, the patio is more private and far quieter.
