We were a family party of 5 for brunch; we had reserved several days before and were seated immediately and graciously. We had a lot of catching up to do, so a bit distracted, but the meals were unanimously enjoyed and the service top level. I've already recommended Le Tableau to one friend who lives near the restaurant. Seems like a lovely ambiance for any time of day.

I haven’t been in years, as I no longer live in Vancouver and went because it was always a favorite. The food and service unfortunately has declined. A side “Caesar” with brown edges where the baby gem lettuce was cut. The beef dip barely had any beef … the pasta Ragu - very mediocre. The service was just bizarre - lack of server, then musical chairs with reservations and chilly weather. Definitely would not rush back - it’s too bad they used to be excellent.

Tableau was absolutely fantastic. Charles was excellent and was very knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. The quality of the food was outstanding and very tasty. Great ambience and well decorated venue. We look forward to return and bring our dog with us as they allow dogs on their terrace.

Terrific restaurant in every way. Bustling but still managed to seem intimate and cozy. Warm welcoming atmosphere, not pretentious, but not too informal either. Lighting and decor were great. Timeless urban vibe and even kinda sexy. Professional and friendly service. Food was well prepared and menu well thought out. Elevated classics you'd expect. Definitely be back.
