We LOVE Deanie’s! The food is so good and the staff is so friendly. Whenever we’re in NO, we go a couple of times. And the Garden District spot has such a great neighborhood feel!

Great evening and my groups food was all good. My wife had the pecan crusted gulf fish with a BBQ butter sauce that was really good. My branzino was excellent as well. We started with some char broiled oysters which was a great way to start the evening.

The crawfish bread was divine. The catfish was awesome and succulent. The Chilean Sea Bass broiled) was flavorful and I hope you save enough space for dessert because that chocolate cake was huge. The server was attentive to all out needs. Enjoyed it all we will be back.
