For twenty-five years, Red Fish Grill has celebrated the fresh, seasonal bounty of local farmers and Gulf fishers. We stand apart for our wide variety of fresh Gulf fish, expertly grilled to perfection on our signature wood-burning grill.

    Decent food, not overly priced, friendly service. Signature bread pudding a little heavy of an after dinner dessert but perfect with coffee or light drink as a snack. In heart of Bourbon street with live band outside, can get loud. Overall not bad but there are a lot of good restaurants outside of the French quarter

    Enjoyed the raw oysters, shrimp with blue cheese and hot sauce, and cornbread. All was very good. Cold beer and nice ambiance. I would return.

    Overall, we were very disappointed. Service was not great. Server seemed new and untrained. She did not know the menu. We had to seek her out as she was very inattentive. We had read that this restaurant would have live music for brunch. It did not. This restaurant does not seem to meet the standards of other Brennan establishments. We do not recommend eating here.

    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!
