Pardo's - Mandeville

This place is fantastic!! The food and service has no words to describe this place. This is our new special occasion place.

The food was amazing and the service was excellent. Definitely the best food on the Northshore and it may have been the best meal I have ever had. The Shrimp and Tasso soup was outstanding, The Crab Croquettas were flavorful and their texture was luxurious. The Filet was the most tender and delicious steak I have ever tasted. Just when I thought that I had no room for anything else I heard the waitress say they had a Bruleed Sugar Ice Cream. It piqued my curiosity and I was rewarded with a spectacular ice cream. Pardos was just as good or better than any of the excellent restaurants I have been to in New Orleans.

Service and food were excellent! I recommend the puppy drum with crabmeat on top of sautéed greens with a beurre blanc sauce.

Tonight I ate at Pardos: An American Bistro. Originally, we planned on eating there but they had a wood fire going which I assumed was for their pizza. So we started to take our leave, explaining that due to my transplant, I couldn 't be around the smoke. To which the manager Marcus said that, they 'own the building next door ' and that they 'd still serve us Pardos ' food there. From there on, our servers, Tyler and Paige, accompanied by Marcus, took the utmost care of us. I have never been treated so well and thoroughly at a brilliant place due to the health risks I have to take into consideration. Pardos has gone above and beyond for me and my accompaniment.

Absolutely amazing dishes with a beautiful ambience from the restaurant and employees. Checked on multiple times and taken care of very well. Highly recommend. Our server Brianna was so sweet!
