   The food was nice, and the server tried when he had time. It was nice of him to bring a complimentary dessert, but we were just ready to leave by that point. The wine was too old to drink and the steak and lobster were almost cooked perfectly until the blazing hot plate took over. I'm not sure why the table we were seated at even exists, it is in between the kitchen and the main floor but also right next to the walk up to the main floor. I literally had to duck at times to get out of the staff's way when rushing plates to and from tables. Hearing the kitchen yell obscenities was just the icing on the cake... This was a special event so I called in advance for details on the restaurant, mostly because it is on Vets and I've never known that to be a positive in the fine dining arena, I was told it was an upscale restaurant with a dress code. I had hopes this restaurant would be one I could rave about after, but it's just a typical Metairie restaurant.

   The two servers were excellent. Everything was so enjoyable. Moved from Louisiana four years ago and miss that luxury very much. We drive over an hour to enjoy a dinner at DesiVega.

   Birthday- We did not bring the birthday cake to Desi Vega’s because last time we did, the restaurant charged us $5 per person to serve a cake we had already paid for. So, this time the birthday boy was offered a free dessert which we all shared. After we left the restaurant, we went home and had birthday cake and saved the $5 per person, which would have been a total of $20. The cake only cost $35.

    We love Desi Vegas and usually go to the NOLA and Metairie locations. Don’t know what was going on but our visit to the Metairie location was busier than I have ever seen it on a random Thursday evening. Even though the kitchen was backed up and it took much longer for our entrees than it usually would, the waitstaff and management worked so hard to make everyone happy. The level of service is always exceptional at any of their locations.

    Great meal and service. Thanks to Blaine and Brandon for the wonderful experience for our holiday get-together! Pricey, but worth it for an upscale meal in Metairie. Also a great location with easy wheelchair accessibility and plenty of parking in the garage 👍

    Excellent restaurant! Josh is a very good waiter but he is over-worked and stretched thin. He was busy bussing his own tables when he should have been able to see to his customers. When our bottle of Champagne ran out we wanted another but by the time we saw Josh we had changed our minds. Hire bussers and more staff and if you have to pay them more just to get them in the door then do it and raise the prices of the food again.

    Desi Bucket was pricey but beautiful and delicious. Corey the Manager was great. He saved the day. Limited vegetable options. Would love to see broccoli added to the menu. Waiter Thai was moving so fast he left our table before we could ask questions. The neighboring table said the same. Will definitely visit again when the restaurant isn’t so busy.

    Overall the experience was good but left a lot to be desired for an “upscale steakhouse.” The hostess and wait staff were all pleasant and professional. Our waitresses were inattentive which affected the overall experience. They didn’t check in during the meal and it took forever for them to come back and bring us our check. We ordered a steak medium and it was brought out medium well, the potatoes au gratin contained under cooked potatoes and so much oil. The brussel sprouts were salty but otherwise amazing and I’d still recommend them. The creamed spinach was flawless. The scallop dish contained 3 large scallops that were very tasty but the mushroom sauce was very rich and heavy. I prefer a lighter sauce like a lemon butter or beurre blanc with scallops but it was nice to try a different take. Not for me but I can see how someone would like it. Like I said, it was an overall good experience. Lots of minor things to be improved on, but I would go back in the future to give them another shot.

    Quantity and Quality of food was superb. If you have to wait for your table, try to snag one by the bar- it’s full service. The noise level overall was palpable but the amazing service and attention to detail made it all worth it. Treat yoself- have the bourbon bramble, bread in a bag, the meatball, oysters and any dessert- you can’t go wrong!

    The service was not as good as usual due to the holiday rush. We were served the wrong desserts and our were billed for 2 extra items. Our server was very accommodating about fixing the errors. We love this restaurant and realize this was an exception to the usual excellent service.
