    I absolutely will come back again and will forever remember the barbecue oysters. They are not for sharing and if you try you may order seconds as we did. The double chocolate bread pudding and the praline Sundae were awesome! Shout out to Jordan our server who helped ensure our experience was excellent and memorable. All and all Red Fish Grill was a winner and a must try if you find yourself in New Orleans.

    It was not the busiest night, there where lots of open tables. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, efficient menu with a medium sized menu/selection. Considering these facts service was on the slower side. Was not in a hurry, but it was very noticeably slow. Food was average, could definitely have more flavor.

    The restaurant is good , not great, shrimps are very small in comparison with other restaurants in NOLA, service was incredibly annoying, 1st they were non stop asking questions, and then disappeared with our last plate it took to much time . When we ask for the bill that was another 15 minutes. In General is a good place a little to expensive. Won't return

    We loved the Redfish Grill restaurant space. Beautiful, quiet and although we did not sit there the bar was gorgeous. Our service was supreme. Although very few people were there that is attributed to summer business in NOLA. It is extraordinarily hot but great for our dining experience. We ordered off the summer menu and I had the shrimp poboy with avocado and garlic aioli. And a delicious salad with fresh dressing. Ty he also had a lunchtime special of $1 raw oysters which were fresh, cold and delicious. Husband had the gumbo which was also excellent.

    The environment was great. The food was delicious but the amount of food served on the fish was not worth the price

    Excellent food. Excellent service. Our server was Aly and she is very knowledgeable with the menu and the way food is prepared. Looking forward to going again! The frozen French 75 is delicious as was the shrimp & grits, chopped salad & oysters.
