TANA

We had a really fun time at Tana. They have absolutely the best service! All the pasta dishes were tasty. The wine was lovely. The atmosphere was unique and beautiful. All in all, it was a great dinner experience! Next time, I want to try the pasta in the cheese wheel. Would recommend!

Very nice place to dine. The decor is beautiful. And the service was quite good too. The light up menus are a nice touch. We ordered the tomahawk, the potatoes on the side and the focaccia bread. Steak was incredible, the potatoes were very well seasoned and cooked. Was a bit disappointed when it came to the focaccia, I don't think it said on the menu that it would arrive toasted. It was very hard, kind of difficult to eat. Other than that it was an extremely good dining experience. Had the service was very good. Very attentive waiters. One of the members of our party had a nut allergy and they were very thorough explaining if there was nuts in any of the other dishes in case they were to be shared. That's very important and was very nice. Would return to dine there again.

Beautiful restaurant wonderful vibes. Food was delish! Wonderful customer service! I paid about 80$ plus tip… But I added crab and shrimp to my pasta, had a pizza as an appetizer and had a scrumptious original tiramisu… It’s probably better for a dinner date or if you’re sharing with someone a quick lunch… Someone recommended it to me for my birthday dinner so I wanted to check it out before deciding if we should have our event there… And I believe so I’ll definitely be back. There wasn’t much people when I got there so my experience with my service was really great, Yumm!

My family visited this place last night after hearing numerous rave reviews. I have to say it did not disappoint. From the moment of arrival, you become part of a truly fantastic dining experience. The valets are friendly and make parking a breeze! The decor is chic and inviting. We also loved the variety of seating they had from cozy, intimate booths to the classic dining tables with lovely comfortable chairs. We started off with cocktails. They were well crafted and beautifully presented. The espresso martini was one of the best that I've ever tasted and the tiramisu liquor was to die for. I also tried the Blushing Belle, a special cocktail they had for Valentines weekend. It was a perfect blend of tart and sweet! The bread for the table was paired with a pepperonata olive oil dipping and a fluffy smoked butter. The olive oil was so good, I would have bought a bottle of it! We ordered the pasta cart and were blown away with the knowledge of the chef and the experience. For an appetizer, we tried the octopus. This would not be something I typically would order, but I'm glad we did!! The octopus was so tender and the explosion of flavors in this dish made it well worth it! For entrées, we ordered the pork chop parmesan, veal marsala, and red snapper. The presentation was beautiful and the portion sizes were more than enough, especially the pork chop with a beautiful crispy crust and light tomato sauce. Lastly for dessert, we tried the tiramisu, bundino chocolate "cake", and the special dessert which consisted of two Gelatos encapsulated in a chocolate shell with truffle and pistachios. The desserts were sweet, but also savory and truly left us speechless! I swear that bundino chocolate cake was better than falling in love. Even with the check, we were left with an amuse Bouche chocolate truffle. From start to finish, this was a true fine dining experience and will be a place that's added to our list of favorites. Thank you for the impeccable service and allowing us to experience a piece of Italy without the fuss of traveling!

Enjoyed dinner last night at Tana. Great atmosphere, delicious food and excellent wine. Our party tasted just about everything on the menu and everyone enjoyed each dish. Not one person in our group had a complaint about the food. Absolutely perfect dinner. The bar area is gorgeous. Recommend having a drink in the bar before heading to dinner. Will definitely be back.

I've been waiting to try this place for over a year, and I wish I had picked somewhere else for our second date. I had the four-cheese ravioli with crab meat, which had zero flavor and zero seasoning. The bread was as hard as a rock – I'm not exaggerating, it wasn't edible. The oysters were okay, but they had so much mayonnaise in the sauce that I had to scrape it off to enjoy them. The atmosphere was cold and loud, and we sat between two dirty tables for the entire visit. My date had a burger, which they said was okay, but again, it had zero flavor. The fries were good, and my cocktail was pretty good. The menus were overwhelming in size and underwhelming in terms of options. Needless to say, I won't be returning. Even if they offered me a free meal, I would turn it down. It was horrible.

Went for Sunday brunch/lunch. What a pleasant Italian-Cajun style meal! The service by Justin was on-point with a touch of humor. The dining room was elegantly upscale contemporary, and I could easily spend a few hours chilling in the bar area! Would definitely go again for dinner menu! Recommend the Braised Meatballs and Veal Picatta. Crawfish Cavatelli was decent, but not my favorite compilation of flavors.

I went here for the first time with a girlfriend to celebrate my birthday, and everything was just fabulous. The food was delicious, the wine was tasty, the atmosphere was relaxing and beautiful, and the staff were so incredibly nice. Shout out to Mikey and Nick who took care of us. They really made our night memorable! 10/10 will go back again :)

Food is top tier, service is top tier, just go! Calamari was my favorite thing of the night next to their tiramisu! Can't go wrong with any of their entrees.

Michael has truly outdone himself with Tana, it's absolutely top-notch! The decor is stunning, and the bathroom is so cute (love those little details!). The food was excellent, I stepped out of my comfort zone to try a few new things, and everything was a hit. One of the highlights was watching the pasta being made right in front of us by the lovely lady, they've really thought of everything! It is on the pricier side, but you absolutely get what you pay for. The service was great, and I'm already looking forward to going back. Michael, kudos to you and your team. Thank you for such a delicious and memorable experience!

Ambiance is wonderful. Quiet and relaxing. Service is top notch. Thin fried calamari is to die for. It comes with fried zucchini slices and pepperoncini. Tagliatelle Al torfuma is amazing and I topped it with jumbo lump crabmeat. So creamy and delicious. Highly recommend this dish. Hubby had the Crispy Porchetta and he said it was impeccable. Extremely crispy! Peppers and potatoes were also very tasty. Tana is on the pricey side but well worth it.

Went for happy hour. The charcuterie board was kind of sparce and the pizzas were small but everything tasted delicious. We also tried the meatballs and a few differences cocktails. the lemoncello lemon drop was delish! I would definitely go back for the dinner menu and order the meatballs again! I don't know that I would do happy hour again due to such few options but the vibes are worth it! The place is absolutely stunning- unlike anything else in Metairie. Service was also good at the table and the bar!

I didn't take any pictures of food because I was so into my the night. First the decor here is amazing. It's beautiful. And there's completely valet though the parking lot is close enough to self park but why not. We did fried oysters and grilled octopus for appetizers. The oysters were just okay especially in comparison to others in the city. However, get the grilled octopus! Cooked perfectly! For entrees we did the blue crab squid ink pasta and braised lamb shank, both were pretty good. Drinks also were decent. The place is really cute and cozy!

I had a fabulous birthday dinner at Tana! My husband made the reservation and I had no idea what to expect, so I was a blank page. Everything was SO delicious! We started with some cocktails (the peach Bellini for me and the Tana old fashioned for hubby) and the appetizer meatballs. The meatballs came with crusty grilled focaccia bread and were just perfect. Next we had the cheese wheel pasta to share and the veal Marsala. The pasta was the best cheese wheel pasta I've had. Fresh pasta swirled in a wheel of incredible grana padano cheese. So good!! The veal Marsala was rich and earthy, with a clear taste of the Marsala. Really, really good. The service was friendly and polite and they did a great job making sure we had a special evening. Ambiance is modern and bright while being comfortable and feeling special. Note: They can only do the cheese wheel pasta table side if you are seated in the front room. If you are seated in the back room and want to see it done, you have to walk to where the cheese wheel is. It's not a big deal and the chef on the cheese wheel gives a nice play-by-play of the process. However, if you do want it table side, be sure to ask for a table in the front room.

We went for the happy hour but stayed for dinner and it was amazing. Great service, food and atmosphere. First time here but can't wait to come back.

Food was amazing. We got the ravioli with crab meat. Also got this rigatoni which tasted fresh. The pasta tasted homemade. The atmosphere is nice. Waiter was good as well. The only thing which was odd is they gave us a huge table for just 2 of us for my birthday so wasn't as intimate as I wanted.

Oh, let me tell you about my dining experience at Tana restaurant! Picture this - I was there with two other couples, enjoying an intimate yet conversation filled, dinner date. We started with the delicious meatballs appetizer, and Cesar salads, followed by the mouthwatering Ravioli and red fish dishes. All meals were a good portion size, well seasoned, and came close to a true taste of Italy, The Phony Negroni drink was sweet and delightful, perfectly complementing our meal. One of my friends ordered the table-side pasta cooking experience, where we received a brief lesson on the process using a cheese wheel and other authentic ingredients. It was a fun and interactive way to engaging.. This was a memorable moment for all of us. And having a sommelier on hand for wine pairing made the evening even more special. It was truly a memorable dining experience. The ambiance was so welcoming, charming, nicely decorated and the restroom amenities like real towels and mouthwash added a touch of luxury.

A really spectacular Italian restaurant. From the high-end decor to the great service and amazing food, Tana delivers on all aspects of the dining experience. While it is a fancier restaurant, you don't have to wear exceptionally dressy attire, which is nice. They do offer valet parking, which is a nice convenience. Their wine selection is great, the digital menus are a interesting and unique touch, and the food will leave you dreaming about it the next day. All of the ingredients, including pasta and sauces, our fresh and amazingly flavorful. The menu is great because it includes both classical and more modern dishes, which are also changed on a regular basis so if you visit often, you'll have the opportunity to try something new. Having visited several times everything has been consistent and this is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the city.

I am basing this entire review on one appetizer, Glazed Octopus * smoked bone marrow, tomato agrodolce, crispy risotto nero. This was entirely sublime and made the entire meal. The octopus was cooked to such amazing perfection.The texture was of a delicate scallop. The flavor from the oxtail was intoxicating. The rest of the meal was fine and overpriced. Cocktails were beautifully presented and delicious. The decor was well done., the service attentive and valet kind. Would I go back, yes. For the

Food was really good! From appetizers to main entree. Loved the decor and the staff was pretty funny

Mamma Mia I have been seeing Tana all over my Instagram and had to try it. One of the best restaurants I have been to. The food was VERY from scratch tasting and the presentation was perfect. We got a plethora of options from meatballs, to ravioli to steak. Every single dish was liked by everyone at the table. Highly recommend if you need a night out and Italian is on your mind

Wow, Tana is fantastic! The atmosphere, staff, and food were all top notch. The inside of the restaurant is spacious, filled with beautiful decor, romantic, and dark. But don't worry, the menus light up! I started with a Paloma and it was flavorful and refreshing. For appetizers, the braised meatballs and fried calamari were great choices. The fried calamari was unique. It came with fried Zucchini noodles and at first I was skeptical, but I would definitely get this again! For my entree, I ordered the roast chicken alla tana. It was a roasted chicken with potatoes. The chicken was juicy and the potatoes were flavorful. The best part of this dish was the flavor from the pan drippings. Lastly, the dessert, wow. I ordered the chocolate dessert and it was delicious. Everything I ate and drank at Tana was SO GOOD. I will definitely be back and cannot wait to explore their menu!

Delicious food and amazing service! Johnny (might be spelled wrong) gave us great recommendations, try the oyster appetizer you will not be disappointed! It was a flavor bomb so was the creamy Italian salad. I understand why it's so hard to get a reservation now, well worth the wait

First and foremost I am a Yelp elite. I help the public find awesome food and put shade on those who waste my dining dollar. The occasion was a TY dinner for all those who helped lead the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans forward this year. Others there could be plied with 3 wines (10 plus bottles no doubt) and gourmet tasties but not me. It will take something special to coax a review from this "pen". The President Shivers Nellon cleverly tried to buy this review by naming his baby Dave (after yours truly) but my resolve was unshaken. I WILL wear my Yelp hat no matter what! My resolve began to weaken when they seated me by beautiful ladies and charming dining companions who all shared my drive to make the home building industry prosper. Clever! Hold! The service swarmed around the table like a whole hive of bees seeing to the needs of the queen. Glasses remained full, table was swept of crumbs, wine kept appearing from the cave and I didn't see anyone have to ask for something omitted from service. Hold! The bread arrived with dipping sauce and butter all covered in toasty sesame seeds. My resolve began to weaken. Maybe Tana was "the one" after all. An onslaught of apps, salads, pasta courses and entrees began to arrive. My resolve was melting under the unrelenting tastebud pressure. I tried to rally but somewhere along the way (I think it was the meatball course) I gave in to peer pressure, loosened my belt, unbuttoned my collar, freed my mind of the worries of the day and lost myself in the moment. Thanks to all who put on this appreciation gala. Please stop appreciating me, my attitude may not survive additional thanksgiving fetes and the holidays are coming. I need to save a little something for that! Bravo! We'll done by all! A definite repeat!

We experienced Tana for dinner last night and it was excellent, especially considering it's only been open for 2 weeks. The restaurant is gorgeous with a modern and elegant ambiance. We waited just a few minutes for our 7:15 reservation and were offered to wait in the cocktail lounge. The server there was so nice and I almost wish we would have stayed there for dinner. There is a full bar with specialty cocktails. The wine list is limited but there were reasonable choices. I hope they add some by the glass wines in the future. The wine is highly marked up so I recommend bringing your own bottle and pay the corkage fee. We sat at a table in the back section and it was fairly loud. I did overhear that they are getting sound dampening boards soon. The service was OK but not great (like it was in the cocktail lounge). We definitely had appropriate expectations given that it is very new so we weren't upset at all. I'm sure they will work out the service kinks with time. The food was OUTSTANDING! We started with the Italian and Cesaer salad. Both were delicious. The pork chop parm and radiatore pasta were delicious. The NY strip was good but I would recommend trying the pastas first. We had the siciliana and chocolate desserts which we delicious as well. Overall I highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

This is probably the cutest restaurant I've ever been to in the New Orleans areas. The interior is breath taking. Every single person that worked there was really nice. I had the braised meatball appetizer. That was really good and the bread that came with it was devine. I also had the Cesar salad which was surprisingly filling. I had it without any protein. You can add protein and have it for lunch. It would fill you up and it was really good. I ordered the radiatore pasta and it was also really good. It has a good amount of cheese and the flavor was good. I will definitely be returning.

Great experience for such a new restaurant. Inside is setup with 3 distinct areas - the bar/cocktail area with lush velvet booths, the middle with more traditional dining tables, and the back was like eating out on a terrace (although it was indoors). Started off with the meatballs and at first I was a little bummed by how little sauce they had on them, but realistically the sauce would have obscured the flavor of them. I got the lamb ragu with hand made noodles. It was good but needed a punch of flavor. My partner got the veal Marsala and it came with a ton of mushrooms which were really flavorful. We ended with the tiramisu, but it was a little too much of a departure from the classic version that I wasn't really a fan. Bonus- the menu is backlit when you open it so for those of us that have a hard time reading in lower light, we're covered.

Def a top fave! I love the ambience at Tana!! I'm one of those people who go to certain spots for certain dishes. When I go to Tana, I always order the Red Snapper and potatoes w| peppers. Always so tasteful and I'm huge on consistency -- this meal has always been consistent each time I've ordered. Love the bartenders who always whip up my special drink. This place is always a great vibe!! 10/10 recommend.

Beautiful interior design. Pasta from scratch delicious! Pasta wheel cool! Shrimp pasta that sauce just wow . Calamari love how thin it is my only suggestion .. lose the napkin underneath... I understand but it isn't needed. That Caesar omg yum yum . My kid loved the meat balls ! If ever in Nola this place is a def go to ! We will be back !!!

Everything was amazing. The appetizers, dinner and drinks were great. The ambience and decor were beautiful. I feel like there's a space for everyone whether you are dining alone, friends, or a small group. The service was amazing and personable and they can describe the dishes.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Old Metairie. The ambiance is a winner. From the lovely lounge area and bar to the seated table area, aesthetics achieved major points with me. The drinks are good too! I've been twice so far and the last time, I sat at the bar during Happy Hour with a friend. Our bartender Dustin was amazing. He even treated us to a special drink for my friend's birthday. Th BBQ lobster was even better the second time. The Gulf Shrimp Paccheri was so good the first time that I ordered it again. The pasta dish that is made table side with the cheese wheel is also a pleasure to watch. My friends and I truly enjoyed this place. Needless to say, I'll be back!

Great ambiance. Food & drinks were good. I'd recommend the restaurant and the items we had oyster's bordelaise, four cheese ravioli, blue crab and squid ink pasta. Our 2 servers were attentive and provided good service during our dinner. I'd definitely recommend trying this spot for dinner.

The bartender had great energy, the decor and lighting. Excellent the pizza could've been better the drinks were chefs kiss

we had heard a lot about Tana so when we wanted to go out for a special occasion decided to try it out. overall, food is decent and portion size is good but customer service is non-existent we started off with the caesar salad and fried calamari and then got the shrimp with pasta, lamb with pasta, creamy soup, four cheese ravioli, creamy polenta and potatoes. the salad was decent but just had lots of dressing; the calamari was good and plentiful and was more like calamari strings. the polenta and potatoes were sides - the polenta was creamy and tasted good: the potatoes were also good but tasted more like homestyle potatoes you would get at brunch. the shrimp a oh the pasta and the lamb with pasta were good, the cheese ravioli was decent, and we also got grilled focaccia on the side which was average. portion size for each item was good and flavor profile was decent. the prices for the dish was really high so we're the dishes worth the price? i would say not, because while they were decent they were not outstanding and the prices overall, the food quality was good and the portion size decent. negatives would include the high price and the poor customer service

The lunch menu presented an assortment of nice dishes to select from. The Italian oysters borderline were wonderful. The crab and squid ink fusible were so good. I noticed perhaps a hint of lemongrass in the broth? It was subtle, and complemented the pasta and lump crab. And the tiramisu was delicious. Service was quite good, attentive but not intrusive, thanks again to Caitlin. Looking forward to my next visit!

I had another opportunity to dine at Tana and it was another awesome experience. I'd comment that the food was not as on point as my first time (where the one star dock comes in) but only by very minor details. I had the meatballs as an appetizer and they came out piping hot. My one comment about this particular dish is that the bread it comes served with is slightly lacking in flavor. I suppose that's what the sauce is for, but the bread itself almost tasted slightly oily. It was odd. But the consistency was good and once slathered in meatball, marinara and cheese it didn't really matter. The Caesar salad was a smidge overdressed but still delicious and large enough to share with another person. And the shrimp paccheri (I swear I really do crave this dish) was as delicious as I remembered it but the tomato cream sauce was broken so it wasn't "pretty." I still ate it, though, and it was yummy. I opted for liquid dessert and sipped happily on a chocolate martini that had delightful lil bits of chocolate shavings on top. My service was top-notch but that's because I asked for Jason since he was so phenomenal last time he waited on me. Luckily he was working and he made sure the night went smoothly and was enjoyable. I really enjoy coming here. Maybe next time I'll branch out and try a different entree but it's hard when the shrimp is so good!

Went to Tana for our anniversary. The restaurant was beautiful. We arrived a little early and sat in the bar area for a couple of cocktails before our table was ready. The limoncello lemon drop was delicious. We enjoyed the fried calamari to start and shared the ceaser salad. Both were perfect. There was an amazing family sitting next to us that gave us a sample of their pasta cooked in the cheese wheel which was perfectly cheesy. I got the gulf shrimp pasta. The pasta was amazing. Just the right amount of food. The staff was amazing and attentive. They brought us each a glass of bubbly to celebrate our anniversary and the dessert said 'Happy Anniversary.' We will definitely go back!

Wow!! A great, new spot in Old Metairie. The customer service was excellent, we met multiple employees and all of them went above and beyond. I had the radiatore pasta and it was delicious. The "pink drink" was so yummy too, and not too strong! The place itself is very nice and modern, photo worthy for sure! Will be back!

Absolutely will be back! I don't know if the food, the staff or the ambiance was the best thing about the restaurant. We went on the first night that they did table side cheese wheel pasta and we never would have known it was the first night! They were pros! The staff is super friendly and gave great recommendations. Make sure to make a reservation, it was very busy. However, the bar is open seating with full service which is nice if it's a last minute meal.

Loveeeeeeee this place everything was amazinggggg! Would definitely go there again !waiters were very sweet !

Please show yourself some love and check Tana out! Ask for servers Whitney and Michael. I was a bit nervous reading the menu , but the staff can answer your questions and make you comfortable. I went for it and ordered the Crab and Squid Ink Fuccilli. Guys don't get fooled by the name, it was amazing! A found it lighter than other pasta dishes I've had but wonderful flavors that come through, crab, a little lemon and tomato. The pasta cart was an experience and our Cam Jordan lookalike table side chef gave us all the info on the dish!

We had a lovely experience here. Great setting for a date night. Food and wait staff were both top notch. Very good cocktails as well. We will be back! The oyster bordelaise appetizer and the Veal Marsala entree were incredible! Paired the veal with a smoked ole fashioned.

Posting this review little late as i visited on 9th august 2024. Waited quiet a long to visit this place as when it opened it was hard to get reservation so wanted to take my time. When i arrived i thought parking is full i might be struggling as i went little further the best feeling was valet parking they offer parked my car, valet person was amazing greeted very well. Arrived 15 mins late as i was trying to call them to tell them i am On my way! But they kept me on hold for 15 mins so i decided to cut the call, when i arrived i got my table immediately so no worries !! Place is huge, decor is amazing it was a busy evening and i got greeted by everyone. I donot wanted 6 pm reservation as i donot eat that early but since the service was slow it worked out perfectly well for me.l as i don't like to get rushed. The food was amazing everything i ordered was fantastic also got the sides live pasta on wheel experience. Personally i did not like how focaccia bread as a side was made could have been different or better as it was almost burnt.l and soaked in olive oil. I think they should keep more options on cocktails, After ordering a lot of food one of the best part of service was the server don't let you pack you own food which i have exepericed only at forbes level restaurant. Desserts were beautiful and tasted great with well presentation. Manager came and checked on every table which was also a good part to make sure everyone is comfortable. One thing i would advice is to add 2-3 vegetarian appetizer instead of just salad. Great wine selection and they have a small wine room towards restroom. Talking about restroom you will rarely find restroom with scented towels , impressive !! Overall great experience matched my expectations just service could be little faster. Would love to visit again ! :)

The braised meatballs ($15). The focaccia was rather soggy than airy with a crispy exterior. The cheese pull was not it. Once cooled off, it was just thick. & the meatball texture was too dense for me. Flavor, also nothing worth noting. So definitely skip this dish. Cobia crudo ($21). Some flaky salt would've really elevated this dish. The oil and all was very tasty but oil versus amount of cobia given didn't add up. Pasta Con Vongole Nola ($27). Throughly enjoyed this dish. Light seafood broth with acidic/ orange notes ? Reminds me of a seafood boil with noodles. Hot sausage crumbles remind me of Pattons. Smoked Pork Cappelletti with Blue Crab Crema ($27). Another dish throughly enjoyed. Reminds me of a bougie shrimp Alfredo but with crab and lots of Cajun inspo. Veal Marsala ($34) + truffle shavings ($30). SKIP the truffle upsell. It does not enhance the dish and if anything, the black pepper is very overpowering and you do not taste the truffle. Bubs kept saying it's like a healthy version of country fried steak. was a little salty, recommend getting a side of buttered noodles or rice to complement and tone down the saltiness. Zucchini ($9). I enjoyed the overall flavor of the side. The marcona almonds add a nice crunch. I wish the zucchini wasn't so over cooked and still had a bite to it. Dish had a lot of residue oil which made it less appealing. Tana recently opened. I definitely see potential in it being great. I would come back. The restaurant is beautiful and has tons of big tables for large groups.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. Went here with my sister to try it out since it's still pretty new. First things first it's very nice in here, like really great aesthetic and it was dim light but they were smart and had lit up menus. The food was very good. First they brought out a complimentary bread that was very tasty and had some tasty sauces with it. Then I ordered the red snapper and it was so good, very light and fresh and zesty and the fish cooked perfectly. My sister had squid ink pasta which they said they are unfortunately retiring but it was very tasty and much heavier and rich in contrast to my meal. We both enjoyed it very much. For dessert we had some type of chocolate pudding dish and it was delicious and perfect to share. Also got the focaccia which I didn't like and a cocktail that was average. Service was pretty good though it was weird we had like 2-3 different people serving us. We will definitely be back.

Extremely hip and chic offering in Metairie. Warm welcoming. Different experiences under one roof. Longer bar area is stylish with velvet banquettes and large club chairs. Bar is one long spot. Then rustic dining room family cozy style. Large tables. Wood furnishings. High ceiling. Then the back sunroom modern European flair. The food incredible! Service excellent Loud vibrant atmosphere Pork parmigiana- huge!!! Will do pasta in wheel of cheese for sure next time. Can't wait to return.

What an amazing meal at Tana. Everything was delicious and we loved all of the items we had. Some stand out dishes were the BBQ lobster and the table side pasta along with the pork chop and let's not forget be black squid ink pasta! Cannot wait to go back!.

My table of 9 thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Tana. My favorites were the Foie Gras Mousse on Toasted Brioche Col Tuppo (rich), Oysters Bordelaise, Roast Chicken alla Tana, Blue Crab and Squid Ink Fusilli, and the mango ice cream (super fresh). For my drink, I had an old fashion, which I thought was smooth and aromatic. The setting is super professional, and everything came out timely. The Pasta Cart was a nice and fun experience, but I highly recommend it more to my cheese loving fans as it has a deep, rich flavor! I love that the restrooms have a mouthwash dispenser. The staff are also considerate and helpful if you're celebrating anything. I wish to come back and try their other dishes.

This is our second time at Tana and it did not disappoint- we had an earlier reservation which changed the ambiance of the location compared to our prior later reservation- the natural light was welcoming and complementary to the Mediterranean esthetic. Service was improved since our prior reservation, with two staff members assigned to aid in caring for service for our table of 4. We did bring our own wine though keep in mind the uncorking fee is 75 dollars and they will not be able to uncork any brand of wine that they have which is something we had experienced- so you might want to call ahead if you wanted to ensure your bottle is able to be opened since the wine list is not available online. The menu had changed from our prior experience to incorporate seasonal local flavors including Ponchatoula strawberries and the combinations were flavorful and light. We had came with a group of 4 versus 2 of us prior and with portion sizing we did have to double up on some of the appetizers including the salad so that everyone could have a decent portion. Cannot rave enough over the Spring Pea Stuffed Girella with Louisiana Crawfish- such a beautiful balance of flavors with a sizable portion! We additionally tried the lemon dessert and we have admit it is our new favorite- Tana is still a top restaurant on our list for a night out on the town and one that we will be looking forward to with the seasonal adjustments noted!

Our entire experience at TANA was incredible. We went to TANA the Friday after Valentine's Day. You definitely want to have reservations because it was very busy. Everything we got food wise was incredible. For an appetizer we got the Barbecue Lobster. This was both my wife and I's favorite thing we got. It was a half lobster in a cream sauce style bbq sauce. It came with bread. Take a bite with the lobster, the bread and the sauce - it was INCREDIBLE. Next my wife got the creamy Italian salad. It was super light and very good. I got the Roasted Garlic, Mushroom, and Artichoke Soup. It was great. We both joked that we were ready to lick the bowl / could drink this. For our main course we split 2 pastas. The Gulf Shrimp Paccheri was incredible and we both agreed it was the pasta to get. We forgot the name of the one my wife got. Hers had hot sausage and lumped crab meat (was almost more of a dumpling style). This was good, but we agreed was our least favorite item of the night. Service was incredible. And we definitely plan to come back! They had valet parking that was free (but you may want to bring a few bucks cash to tip those guys).

My husband had the pork chop. He used to getting a thick cup pork chop cooked to his liking. Instead, it came out, looking like paneer veal. It was about a half a inch thick overdone and very tough. It also had a humongous amount of cheese on it. He ended up sending it back. It was a real disappointment. There is no ambience. Not a good place to go for a romantic dinner. However, we had a wonderful server that took care of us. We really enjoyed the service from him.. I give it three stars

Since Tana opened up, I've been there couple of times and it was always great and never disappointed!! It's that type of place you go for a special occasion or even if you just crave some great homemade pasta !! What I also loved was the fact that chef came out and talked to his customers and that was a plus for me .. I've seen him in action at a food festival in lafreniere park where their small bites won the competition in my opinion!! Besides the food and service, the restaurant it's beautiful !! The lighting, the colors, the decorations .. all gorgeous!! Thank you for creating such a delightful place !!

The ambience of beautiful! The food is delicious and the drinks are delicious! Highly recommend!

I never usually write reviews on restaurants, but we had an amazing experience at Tana for my husband's birthday dinner! Everything we ordered was spectacular (meatball appetizer, cheese wheel pasta, radiatore, tiramisu, limoncello lemon drop martini, cat 504 drink, and espresso martini)!! The cheese wheel pasta experience was amazing. The chef came over to our table and asked us how spicy we wanted it, if we had any allergies, or if we wanted to add anything to it. He was awesome! We are already trying to figure out when to go back. Service was amazing and the ambiance is just beautiful! Highly recommend! Also, I expected the ambiance to be very formal, so we dressed for that, but there seemed to be a large variety in what everyone was wearing. We saw a few people in jeans and some in dresses. Nobody looked over or under dressed or out of place. I know I am always trying to figure out what to wear to a new place so I wanted to add that in!

A friend and I visited Tana to celebrate our birthdays. We were promptly greated and sat at our table. The wait staff was friendly and explained the menu well. The food and drinks were very good. I like how each room is a different vibe. There's a lounge area, main seating area, and a room off the the side. Very cute space. Getting into the parking lot is a bit weird but they do offer valet. My only complaint is our birthdays were not acknowledged. I listed it on our reservation and the hostess confirmed. The wait staff never mentioned it, which was unfortunate. I will be back to try more items.

We were excited to finally try it! Restaurant is very fun looking inside- beautifully decorated. Most of the food was great but a few things were just ok and the huge price of everything should mean each dish is almost perfect. Our biggest problem was how pushy and rude the waitress was- kept pushing over and over for us to order more things. Kept pushing us to order an expensive bottle of wine when we told her we just wanted two glasses. Very snippy and mean girl vibes. One of us asked a question and she replied "obviously that's in the dish. It says so". I guess because the tip was mandatory at 20% because of our group of 5 she didn't really care. Overall a fun experience but be prepared to spend a ton of money for food that is very good at times and very mediocre at other times. And watch out if you get a mean snobby wait person! I'm not sure I would recommend.

TANA!!!! Wow! My wife and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary at this establishment. The staff and management went above and beyond when it came to making our night special and memorable! It was our first time at this restaurant and I promise you I will be back! Cleanliness: 10/10 Recognized the cleanliness as soon as we walked in the doors! Tables were ready and utensils placed correctly. Employees aware of spraying table cleaner on the towel instead of on the table. (Protect overspray) Well Done! Atmosphere: 9/10 Very inviting! Homely atmosphere! A little loud but if you know anything about Italian culture and ppl, they are loud! Service: 10/10 Absolutely 0 complaints about the service! The only thing that I thought was interesting was having to order appetizers, entrees, sides, desserts, literally everything I wanted from the start. As soon as I closed my menu, it seemed like the server needed my entire order. Taste: 10/10 True authentic Italian food! Amazing flavor profiles! Creamy, cheesy, and savory! Everything you could need to compliment an amazing dish! Overall we had a great experience! I highly recommend this place! Go check them out! Ask for Paul, Kaitlyn, or Jason! They will take care of you! I promise!
