We had a delightful waiter (Steven). Very attentive and friendly. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested a wonderful vegetarian option which was amazing. (Did notice that our food took longer to arrive to our table. Tables next to us arrived after we were seated and after we ordered, received their food first). Still five stars ⭐️

We really enjoyed the food and wonderful presentation of our meal. We also liked our server Angelo - he was bustling around and was as attentive as he could be. It was busier than we expected for a Monday night, which made for a great ambience. Shrimp and grits had a welcome gourmet flare to a classic New Orleans dish, steak tartare appetizer was a huge portion, and onion soup was delicious (but could have been a little hotter). Bartender was busy and we ended up getting our appetizers before the cocktail, but we were overall really pleased. Fun, beautiful decor. Hope to dine again next time we are in New Orleans!

Darla and Daniel were incredible waiters. Knowledgeable, great interaction. Food was perfect! Fried oysters with tasso gravy reduction was bomb. For those who don't know, tasso is Cajun smoked pork legs with extremely deep smoke. Then duck confit, thigh and drumb. Finished with peppermint ice cream and glacee drizzled with chocolate.

My husband won’t go anywhere else for red fish! I had the LA Cobb salad with shrimp and crab and it was the perfect light supper. Service was great and nice ambience, but it is a little noisy. I highly recommend Red Fish Grill!

Food was great and service was fine. Gratuity was already included on the bill (party of 3) and the waitress failed to tell us, so we left a 20% tip on top of the 18% already incorporated into the bill.
