Voted Best New Restaurants "Class of 13" by New Orleans Magazine. Desi Vega is the restaurateur of Desi Vega's Steakhouse and Mr. John's Steakhouse. Both restaurants are consistently outstanding and locals' favorite place to "see and be seen." Desi grew up in the restaurant business and was groomed by Ella Brennan at Commander's Palace, Ruth Fertel of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and Emeril Lagasse. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence makes for a truly memorable dining experience. Our USDA Prime steaks are carefully selected, hand-cut and aged for tenderness, then seared to perfection and served on a sizzling plate. We hope you'll visit to see for yourself!

    Waiters were horrible except for DJ, he went above and to satisfy us after we told him what was going on. Hate to see that racism still exists in this world, but it is what it is!

    We had a reservation for 7:00pm and still had to wait for a table. We noticed by the time we got our entrees that other tables had bread and we were never offered any. We would run out of drinks before asked about another round. The Caesar salad was dry. The fish of the day and the ribeye were delicious. For the price we paid for dinner at a steakhouse we would not return.
    Desi Vega's SteakhouseResponded 3 days ago
    Hello, We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at Desi Vega's Steakhouse. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our ribeye and fish of the day. However, we're sorry to hear about your wait for a table and the service you received. We understand how frustrating it can be to wait for your meal, especially when you have a reservation. We also apologize for the lack of attention to your needs. Your feedback is important to us and we will certainly address these issues with our team.

    We enjoyed a round of drinks at the bar and Andrew was kind enough to carry our drinks to the table for us when our table was ready. Kevin and his team were excellent. Very attentive. Steaks and sides were perfection. Can’t wait to come back.

    We chose Desi Vegas for our executive team Christmas Lunch. The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The manager at the restaurant, Chris, was very helpful and worked with his employees to help provide the best service to the customers. Highly recommend.
