Pascal's Manale by Dickie Brennan & Co.

We were able to get a last minute reservation at Pascals Manale. We had impeccable service and the BBQ shrimp were a hit. I had the combination bake and didn't love it as much. It was a bit too rich to enjoy the whole dish.

Fish species was very good Bread always tastes driod out. Don't know if it's old or not warmed up properly.

First time in many years, and was very disappointed. Drove into uptown from the suburbs. THe last time I was there was in the early 1990s when I was a student ambassador for Loyola and we took out speaker Jimmy Wright there for dinner. SInce Ralph Brennan bought it I have been excited to see what the food and atmosphere was like. FIrst impressions, bar and bartenders were a delight. Combo shrimp and crab cocktail was a disappointment on the crab side, too runny. Wife had the turtle soup which she enjoyed, I have the gumbo which was cold and rather disappointing We split the Veal and BBQ shrimp, added the potatoes au gratin and added the pasta with olive oil and shallots. Veal was dry and fried too dark, potatoes were well overcooked and very dry and the pasta did not look at all like the pic on the web menu, just OK. The pealed BBQ shrimp were something I would expect to get in a midwest city restaurant trying to mimic a NOLA recipe. Overall not good

The waiter was awesome. Loved my dish. Back sooon. We have to keep this place open. Need to try the oysters again

Overall just an okay Italian dinner out. Parking and safety was great; has its own lot and security guard. The food was blah--from appetizers to entree, some salty some bland, not too much flavor in any dishes. The service was decent; food came out on time and was well paced. Server had to be flagged down for some refills but he did come check on us at times, so no complaint there, except he didn't seem too friendly. The ambience: very loud--had to raise our voices to have a conversation. We tried it because of great online reviews but was slightly disappointed. Our appetizers: charbroiled oysters, fried eggplants, a combo of seafood casserole-like dish; entrees were a couple of veal dishes and a special red fish, with wedge salad and sides. I can't say any of them was spectacular, perhaps we didn't order the right ones. The cabernet was good though.

I have never eaten mozzarella sticks as soft as these, the wedge salad was high quality and the grilled redfish was elite.

My husband and I drove 13 hours for our 8:45 pm reservation on 6/11/25. Upon arriving for our Open Table reservation which was confirming our reservation we found the restaurant dark and closed. When we called the number we received a message with the hours of operation and left a message that we were outside for our reservation. After several minutes we left while our Open Table reservation continued to show our reservation. Tony the manager called about an hour later saying he received our message and that they had lost power and had to close the restaurant and to call him with any questions. I called the next day to express our disappointment in the fact no one contacted us to let us know and how much we had been looking forward to dining there after our long drive. Tony claimed that they had contacted us and left a message and had noted it in there log. I told him I had checked all of my messages and nothing was received from them or Open Table. He continued to argue that they had contacted us and talked about how much money the restaurant had lost. While I understand as a business person the loss of business and frustration I am still the customer. At no time did he empathize or offer any level of customer service including offering to make us another reservation or ask how they could make up for the inconvenience. Having eaten there and other Brennan restaurants it was definitely not the level of service I expected. In addition I received a notice from Open Table a day later saying I had failed to honor my reservation and asked for an explanation to avoid any penalties. I explained that I honored my reservation and it was the restaurant who had failed to communicate or offer any type of follow up service. Needless to say we were very disappointed and have removed them from future dining destinations.

Very good food and very good service in a nice environment. This is the place for BBQ Shrimp. The eggplant appetizer, red fish special, veal parmigiana and bread pudding are also very good. It was loud and the tables are very close together. We could hear the couple at the next table arguing. The eggplant was the best thing we had, followed by the bread pudding, if the entrées were as good, 5 star all the way.

Always a favorite when we visit family in NOLA. Everyone in our party of six raved about their dining choices. The evening's standout was the special Grilled Redfish "annointed" with Barbeque Shrimp. Perfectly prepared and absolutely delish! The table staff were attentive and courteous. The evening was made extra special by our waiter Eric who brought dining fun with professional panache.

I was dining by myself so I sat at the bar. It was Happy Hour and they do offer nice half price drinks during that time. I ordered the Frutta del Mar pasta, and it was quite delicious - full of seafood and the sauce was great.

Came here for Thanksgiving based on reviews. Ordered veal paresean and couldn't cut it because it was rock hard. By the time the waitress came by it was too late to get something else, but at least she took it away and didnt charge for it. So no dinner for me. My wife's turkey dinner was mediocre at best. Thanksgiving at Dennys would have been better.

Waited a good 15-20 minutes after we were seated to be given menus. Had the worst veal picatta I’ve ever tasted - coating was undercooked and gooey, pasta was overcooked and all was lukewarm. All this served in a brightly lit, overcrowded “dining room”. Total tourist trap.
