- RRUTHLos Angeles •13 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis place is legend, and lives up to its long-standing reputation as a truly special, charming, and fun experience! We had a delightful time, enhanced most of all by the elegant, yet warm, attentive service. The four of us very much enjoyed all of the dishes, including my husband's shrimp remoulaude starter. Also loved the ricotta gnudi -- soft, silken pillows with eggplant, as well as the chopped salad, the Cornish hen, the oyster j'aime, and the deserts,... all delicious. We enjoyed the experience of sharing the scent-sational London cocktail, poured from a gilded teapot into delicate teacups.More infoBrennan'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.7
- SSharonNew Orleans / Louisiana •41 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoDinner at GW Fins was outstanding as always. We booked a reservation to celebrate our anniversary. The table was decorated with confetti and a souvenir menu. Before dinner we were served the famous warm GW Fins biscuits. They are legendary. My husband can't get enough of them. We shared the Lobster Ravioli appetizer which was delicate and delicious. My husband had the Lobster Bisque, which he always enjoys. For dinner, I had the Parmesan crusted Sheepshead and my husband had his favorite, the Scalibut. Both were delicious. For dessert we share a Creme Brule. The Creme Brule is classic Creme Brule and kudos to the chef for preparing it perfectly. The staff was attentive and friendly. Felix was our waiter and did a fantastic job. We were also served complimentary chocolate truffles and a server, Kenny regaled us with a Happy Anniversary song. GW Fins was recently remodeled, and the new decor is beautiful.More infoGW FinsPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• French Quarter•4.9
