    It was a slow night for Landry’s when we visited, just days after the terrorist attack on Bourbon Street. But that didn’t stop the maitre’d, waitress, and manager from welcoming us and providing excellent service. We had both of the Mahi-mahi dishes and finished with cheesecake. Overall, a lovely dining experience to start off the Carnival season.

    First time here in NOLA, was recommended the Red Fish Grill from a local working in the French Quarter, me and my family absolutely loved the food. The BBQ Oysters were amazing, would definitely recommend trying even if you don’t enjoy raw oysters. It’s a completely different texture and taste. Overall, the food was great and would definitely come back when in the French Quarter.
