About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Good for groups

It’s been that way since Drago & Klara Cvitanovich opened our restaurant in 1969. They set out to offer delicious seafood and a good time to guests for a reasonable price. At that time, they couldn’t even imagine how many guests that would become.

Today it’s still a family atmosphere. Klara is still at the front to greet our guests. Tommy Cvitanovich, Drago and Klara’s son, is there to see that things run smoothly.

Thank you for choosing Drago’s Seafood Restaurant at Hilton New Orleans Riverside for your dining experience. We don’t accept reservation, however, walk-ins are always welcome to join us. Hope to see you soon!

Great food and service! We were a party of 10 and there wasn't any one person disappointed. The charbroiled oysters and Fleur De Lis Shrimp were amazing. I had the twin steak filets topped with crabmeat and everything was perfectly cooked. They did run out of Lobster, but it was a Monday and a large convention was going on so somewhat understandable. The menu was large and diverse enough to select many other options. Again, great spot for dinner and we'll be back.

The casual ketchups/condiments in middle of table took away from the class it could potentially have. The oysters were gritty.

Very mediocre food. Felt like a downtown Las Vegas restaurant, but more expensive. Would not recommend.

The restaurant was beautiful, but the temperature was so cold that 3 couples and us had to move. I eventually went to the gift shop and bought a sweatshirt. The waiter said they had no way to control the temperature. We moved to another table and the bus girl was so annoyed she threw the plates on the table and walked away. Not our waiter she was great! It's was cold and raining outside so we were all wet and cold!

The famous chargrilled oysters are EVERYTHING … I also had the Mediterranean crab salad and I added blackened shrimp which was a delightful accompaniment to the oysters.
