    Host stand greeted us and sat us down immediately when we checked in. Daniella greeted us and brought menus. Brought us water that is room temperature. We browsed the menu, she did not offer any suggestions towards the menu which is what I look for in a great waitress. Ordered food and my cousins food aka the fish was undercooked. Letting Daniella know that, she immediately took the plate while my cousin was still enjoying her sides. From there, she never came back to check on the table. She walked pass our table to serve others, but from then on, she never made eye contact nor did she apologize for taking the plate so quickly without communicating what happens from then on. Sweet girl. We also received cold bread and once we communicated that to her, she almost was clueless to what we was telling her. Overall, I think we would have had a better time had we had someone who was there to make our experience worthwhile.

    We had a great time in New Orleans. Was there celebrating my wife's birthday. Our waiter Kat was the best. We had the chargrill oysters, fried alligator bites, blackened catfish and redfish. Everything was good. And our waiter Kat brought out the best carrot cake we tasted for my wife birthday. We will definitely return when we visit Nola again.

    Always love to eat at Superior Seafoods when in NOLA. Redfish was great, had a dozen raw oysters & tried their grilled oyster assortment, which we would get again. Their house Old Fashioned was pretty good too...

    Personally I would have the fans blow upward towards the ceiling rather than down on the food which tends to cool it off but my suggestion wasn't appreciated. LOL, The manager came by the table several times to see that we were enjoying the food. It was my Birthday Week and overall it was a great experience. We'll go back there in a hearbeat.

    I love the happy hour. Currently it’s $1.25 oysters (multiples of 6 or 12). There’s also drinks but who am I kidding- for me it’s all about the oysters.

    This is NOT the place to go for a relaxing dinner in N.O., and while we were not looking exactly for "relaxing", after a long, tense, very hot football game we probably should have chosen something a little more toned down. We went there because my wife loves scallops and several reviews have said they have the best scallops in the city, but unfortunately the scallops are no longer on the menu. On to the good: what we did have was delicious. Split a 1/2 dozen raw oysters, then I had the pasta de la mer and my wife the redfish, which they prepared especially in accordance with her dietary limitations. We each had a mixed drink and a glass of wine. Frances, our server, was very attentive to my wife's diet and happy to make suggestions as to how they could best accommodate. This place is raucous and loud, just people having fun, and the food and service are first rate. Tab before tip was around $135.

    There's great food here and New Orleans feels is what you'd want. But service was woefully lacking our ticket got lost waitress was rude even had to go to bar to get own drinks! I would still not give this low a rating, but 18% tip being added automatically for 6 people when I normally would tip 20% or more for great service being added ? attitude of our server make it very difficult for me to consider again as option when there's so many options available in NO and not near the attitude.

    I was somewhat disappointed because the menu has changed and many of my favorites are no longer available. There is even a picture of something currently on their website that is not on the menu and the server had no idea what it may have been. While I enjoyed what I ordered, I had a friend from out of town and the few items I specifically raved about were not available.

    With family in NOLA, we visit frequently but had never tried Superior Seafood. We found it offered very good seafood in a city that abounds with excellent dining choices. Cocktails were tasty. The three of us enjoyed both Uptown Favorite entrees, very well prepared. One of us liked the popular Crawfish Cornbread, the others thought it too bland, especially for New Orleans. The bread pudding desert was so-so. Thankfully, we were seated in the enclosed side patio were we were able to visit because the noise in the main area was deafening.

    The location, food and atmosphere were excellent. However, apparently Superior Seafood has joined the new wave of subtle upcharges to increase the the cost. I ordered an extra dry martini, up, not dirty with two olives. For those who don't know, that essentially means gin with no ice and no olive juice. When i received the bill there were 3 charges on the bill associated with my order. The first was the cost of the gin; $10,00. The second simply stated "Martini $3.00" and, finally, i was charged $1.00 per olive or a total of $2.00 additional. Though aghast at the upcharge for the olives, I only asked about the upcharge for the "martini" of $3.00. Our server told us it was because the gin became a cocktail. Apparently i was charged $3.00 for the bartender to shake it and pour it in a martini glass. I am 64 years old and have eaten at restaurants all over the world. I have never seen nor heard of such a thing. Like most people, i don't mind paying more for drinks in a nice restaurant. However, like most people, i do not like feeling like i just got hustled. In short, while everything else, including our waitress, was excellent, i will not go back.

    Tonight we were in the mood for something tasty but on the lighter side. The steak salad and some raw oysters were perfect. Jonathan was our waiter. He made great recommendations and was very attentive. Happy hour oysters and cocktails were a great value. My only wish was that the piano was not quite as loud.

    We go there often and have always had great service and a wonderful experience . However on this visit we had terrible service . We asked not to be seated in thearea facing Napoleon Ave. cause the sun was glaring in . We asked for a table we’re seated in a booth . Our waitress seemed to have a real attitude and never we never figured out why . It seemed like we were being rushed and we had a reservation . This won’t stop us from going back .
