    We came on a rainy evening and there weren’t many people inside. So it was nice and quiet. Our server Jeremy was lovely! The drinks were delightful and the duck leg was crispy and well seasoned! We enjoyed our experience and will be back on a sunny day to hopefully sit out in the courtyard.

    We had the most memorable experience at Red Fish! This is one of our favorite restaurants in Nola and the food was superb tonight as always! The redfish entree was amazingly delicious and the oysters on the half shell were perfect! We highly recommend the fried green tomatoes! Our food was brought out quickly and our waiter Desmond was one of the best waiters we have ever had at a restaurant in Nola!! Please ask for him! He is terrific!

    The food was excellent! Our group enjoyed trout dip with bacon fat saltines, brussel sprouts, shrimp and grits, schnitzel, creme brulee, and bread pudding... all delicious! The service was exceptional, too, with attentive and friendly staff.

    Such a wonderful experience. The service is superb. From the moment you pull in. The grounds were immaculate. Doorman was sharp. Service is of EXCELLENCE. Sharp & precise. This was my first visit to Windsor Court & The Grill Room and I had the best time and was too impressed. Helen's service is something serious. She was wonderfully nice. Our dining room attendant Edgar was phenomenal. He made us understand why The Grill Room has won World's Best Award. Absolutely lovely time brunching here. The band played a beautiful Happy Birthday rendition tableside. Chefs kiss! Outstanding! 🥂
