Excellent sushi!! The place was packed and I’m not surprised. We had the fried Gyoza app, which was delicious. The miso soup was hot and also delicious. My wife had the Gyoza soup, a very hefty portion enough for two people and also just delicious. I had the RYU roll and a nigiri flight and I let the sushi chef pick the fish. Again, delicious. If you’re going on a Friday or Saturday make reservations.

About the restaurant

The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

Central Business District

About the restaurant

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!

I ordered the Mediterranean Redfish at Drago’s, and it was easily the highlight of my meal. The fish was perfectly cooked — flaky, tender, and full of flavor. Topped with a light blend of tomatoes, olives, capers, and herbs, it had that perfect Mediterranean brightness that didn’t overpower the freshness of the fish. The seasoning was well-balanced, and the sauce brought just the right touch of acidity and depth. It felt like a lighter, elevated option without sacrificing bold flavor. Paired with their sides and solid service, this dish is proof that Drago’s does more than just charbroiled oysters — though you might still want to start with a few of those too! Definitely a dish I’d order again.

I’m not one to generally order a salad while eating out, but decided to order the Caesar with grilled shrimp. The salad was so good I’m still thinking about it and can’t wait to have it again soon. Kudos to the chef. Eric and Jarrod were also so attentive and thorough. Jarrod was our main server- he was very eager to please and seems to take pride in his job. We had a really enjoyable lunch and will be back soon!
