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.

    The food was delicious. Prices were fair. It was Christmas Eve at 2pm. We had a reservation. Got seated at our reservation time, but waited 20 minutes for anyone to come to the table. They brought water, then took our drink orders. Took another 20 minutes to get our drinks. The food was wonderful and came in reasonable time once our food order was taken. We weren't in a hurry, so time didn't matter that much. Just seemed like everyone was really busy and didn't have enough help.

    We had a variety of appetizers for a table of five and they were all excellent notable was the remoulade and the oysters dryades, although all were spectacular. The barbecue shrimp was not as good as I remember, part of it was, the barbecue itself was not as flavorful and the cooking technique left the shrimp, soft and not the more firm texture of fresh shrimp. Hopefully it was just a bad batch because this is what they’re known for. But the stand out was really the service. Our server Louie was was a local who grew up in Metairie and exemplified everything great about local in New Orleans service. Will return again.

    Overall food was okay but not as good as before. Waiter was nice but service took 2 1/2 hours for lunch and it wasn’t crowded!. We were frustrated. The back waiter/bus boy nice but needed way more training. Decorations were festive but Bathrooms and hallways were dusty, dishes piled up in open bins, the waiter ran out of saucers?!! Etc etc. Either short handed or poor management or both. The manager on duty wasn’t helping his staff by pitching in and doing “real” work. We waited so long to pay our bill we finally had to go and get the manager to charge our credit cards. This old grande dame restaurant needs ALOT of TLC.

    Very good N.O. “Hole in wall” restaurant. Have been several times in the past few years when we visit the big easy. BBQ shrimp poboy and stuffed shrimp were delicious. The house special BBQ shrimp were good but did not peel easy as usual. They were difficult to peel.
