[title type="h3"]Tableau @ Restaurant Week[/title]
With just three days left in this year's Coolinary/Restaurant Week program, we take a look at what's on the menu at Tableau, Dickie Brennan's restaurant on Jackson Square. It's not only a beautiful place, but it has the feeling of having been there for a hundred years or more. The main building is in fact that old or older, having been La Petite Theatre du Vieux Carre for most of its history. (The theater is still there.)
In this final summer weekend, Tableau has lunch (two courses, $20), brunch ($35, three courses) and dinner ($39, three courses). It all comes back to normal Monday morning.Gulf Shrimp Remoulade
