    Our group of 5 had a great time for dinner! Our waiter, Ike, was the best! He was so pleasant and attentive, and he was very thorough on explaining the menu and helping us to understand all of the great choices! We enjoyed the BBQ oysters and alligator boudin balls appetizers. For dinner the shrimp and short rib grits were excellent and a fun twist. The short ribs were so tender! Others in our party also enjoyed their crabcake and red fish and crabmeat signature dish. Pricing was reasonable, portion sizes appropriate. Location was outstanding right in the French Quarter. Atmosphere had a fun decor and noise level was comfortable for our group to converse. We felt welcomed and had a great time. Would def come back.

    Redfish Grille is our number one stop for dinner when visiting New Orleans. First of all, great food. The Woodfired Redfish is our favorite paired with a bottle of Prosecco. All the food is fresh and prepared to order. Waite service was top notch. Our server, Runaka, knew her stuff about the food, drink selection, and she constantly kept watch over us if we needed anything else. The atmosphere is moderately loud but fun, everyone having a good New Orleans time. I would highly recommend Redfish.
