Today, the shop is no more, but the feeling of excitement and wonder still exists on Royal Street today. And so in the heart of the most premier art district in New Orleans, we’re bringing back the curiosity – reintroducing New Orleans to a circus of flavor so vibrant it makes other restaurants nearby pale in comparison.

For apps, we did BBQ Shrimp, Firecracker Tuna Tacos, Lobster Dumplings + Yellowfin Tuna Yakitori. We shared the Scalibut. It was the best dish we had last night. For dessert, we got Bread Pudding + Carajillo. The service did feel a bit pushy. We ordered a bottle of 2022 Pinot Noir, would have liked to “drink in peace”. The restaurant smelled fishy when we entered, guess it’s expected from a seafood establishment.

What a wonderful experience! My sister in law says she always visits Red Fish so we had to go. Our server was fantastic. The food was amazing (remember to order the bread pudding in advance!) and we will be back.

We were there to celebrate 4 birthdays, the waitress took her time to explain the menu to us and didn't feel rush to place our entree order. Overall, everything was excellent we will definitely go back.
