Reviews
First night in New Orleans with my colleagues, and Red Fish Grill said, “Welcome to NOLA, baby!”⚜️ And honestly… they did NOT disappoint! We came hungry and decided to do it right, everybody tried something different, including dishes we probably wouldn’t normally eat back home. When in New Orleans, you HAVE to step outside your comfort zone and taste the culture! Everything was flavorful, seasoned, and full of that New Orleans goodness. The food was GOOD, the drinks were GOOD, the hospitality was on point, and the service was great. We laughed, we ate, we drank, and we had ourselves a TIME! Red Fish Grill gets my stamp of approval!
Absolutely lovely place!! Short wait time despite being busy and wonderfully friendly servers who are so kind and helpful. Food is delicious, I got fried green tomatoes for a starter and they were awesome. I highly recommend the blackened redfish with crab, the fish was so crispy and flaky and the crab was divine. Even the potatoes were good, I was so sad I couldn’t finish it all because everything was so delicious. Will be my first stop when I return to NOLA someday
Was really looking forward to the creole, its on one of the menu photos on here and it has been taken off the menu. The best thing about this place were the staff, they were really good. I got the gumbo to start, this is when I thought we made a mistake with restaurant choice, it was basically an egg cup portion on a giant plate and it was mostly liquid. Luckily the mains were much better! The rest of the meal was great.
The most outstanding dining experience we’ve had. The staff including Jenny, Samantha and Frank made us so incredibly welcome. Generously providing our party of 8 with complimentary tastes of their delicious fare, showing us how to peel the crawfish and explaining the local culture, and ensuring we had an amazing time. The food and cocktails were exceptional (best espresso martini ever) and reasonably priced and they treated the birthday girl with dessert and traditional pinning of the dollar note. Would highly recommend dining at this restaurant in the New Orleans French Quarter. 11/10!!
First dined here in 2021, but recently returned for lunch while visiting for a work trip in NOLA. The food, ambience, and service still remain spectacular. All the food and drinks were delicious and freshly prepared. Food dishes were seasoned to perfection and had impeccable flavor. Richard, our server was very personable and attentive. He ensured we were taken care of throughout the entire dining experience. I appreciate how hard he works and his enthusiasm. Samantha, the manger in training, was extremely welcoming and truly cares about the restaurant operating smoothly while guests enjoy their dining experience. Hakeem brought the food out in a timely manner and was very friendly when engaging with my friend and I. This restaurant is one not to miss during any trip to NOLA. The staff is a prime example of premiere customer service. I look forward to returning to this restaurant on future trips to NOLA.
