Voted Best New Restaurants "Class of 13" by New Orleans Magazine. Desi Vega is the restaurateur of Desi Vega's Steakhouse and Mr. John's Steakhouse. Both restaurants are consistently outstanding and locals' favorite place to "see and be seen." Desi grew up in the restaurant business and was groomed by Ella Brennan at Commander's Palace, Ruth Fertel of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and Emeril Lagasse. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence makes for a truly memorable dining experience. Our USDA Prime steaks are carefully selected, hand-cut and aged for tenderness, then seared to perfection and served on a sizzling plate. We hope you'll visit to see for yourself!

    We had a reservation for 7:00pm and still had to wait for a table. We noticed by the time we got our entrees that other tables had bread and we were never offered any. We would run out of drinks before asked about another round. The Caesar salad was dry. The fish of the day and the ribeye were delicious. For the price we paid for dinner at a steakhouse we would not return.

    We enjoyed a round of drinks at the bar and Andrew was kind enough to carry our drinks to the table for us when our table was ready. Kevin and his team were excellent. Very attentive. Steaks and sides were perfection. Can’t wait to come back.

    A colleague of my wife recommended Desi Vegas & we were very impressed. The seafood tower was quite the presentation & a delicious meal for two. Topping it off with bread pudding was a memorable meal. Great wine & drinks also.

    Wow! What a fantastic restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant based on the quality and taste of food, the ambience and their exceptional service. Our waiters Kevin and Pauly were the best. Probably one of the top two steaks I’ve ever had in my life. We will be back.
