Best Restaurants for Groups in Mid-City / City Park

Have never had a bad meal at GW Fins. Food and service are consistently above average, even in a city where the average is abnormally good. We’ve been coming for over 10 years but this was our first visit with our 18 month old toddler. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. You’ve earned yourself another fan for life.

A very eclectic and pleasant environment to eat. Food was fresh, service attentive.

Great service by Rich and the entire staff. We took a friend out for her 28th. Birthday. They even gave her a kitchen tour. Food was excellent. Highly recommend the Crawfish & Goat Cheese Crepes and the District Tournedos. Phenomenal. Great experience. We will be back.

I recently held my birthday dinner in the courtyard at Vessel and it couldn't have been a better experience. Everything from the ambiance to the service to the food and drinks was perfection. It's a lovely courtyard with beautiful lighting (and a tv for those wanting to keep up with whatever major game is on, though the sound was not loud or distracting in the slightest). Our server was attentive and engaging, and kept up flawlessly with our large group. The food was delicious; we ordered an assortment of items for appetizers, entrees, and desserts (my faves being the smoked fish dip, seared scallop risotto, the filet, and the key lime pie), and everything was wonderful! While we loved sitting outside, the interior is absolutely stunning and we will definitely go back to sit inside. If you live locally or are visiting, this place is definitely worth a stop.

Excellent food and location. Venue was pleasant and quiet. Waiter was green and not well trained but he did get our food to us. He phoned it in tonight. Would highly recommend restaurant got the food but have low expectations of professional service.
