    Our dinner was good at Redfish. The restaurant has multiple rooms yet we and others were seated in the room that had a street percussion group on the other side. Having that rattle the room took the noise level from moderate to energetic. I would have expected they would steer people to their others rooms first. I figured they would stop soon and by the main course they did. The food was sound. The pasta jambalaya was tasty but mild. Same with the blackened gulf fish. I ordered by redfish without mushrooms but there they were. Redfish was quite good. The pumpkin spice brulee was excellent as was the praline sunday. I would return.

    Oysters great, entrees terrific. Desserts also wonderful. Two rounds of drinks made the total bill very pricey. Noisy but it’s on Bourbon Street so you expect it.

    Food was great! Catfish and shrimp creole was delicious and a very ample portion. Service was sporadic. Tried to get the chocolate bread pudding to go. The order was placed and the check arrived. Waiter said he had pre-ordered, but didn’t follow up. The entrees were king! But, better service would have made a top-notch evening.

    The restaurant was extremely loud and we felt rushed by the server the entire time. There biggest concern was turning tables as quickly as possible. The food was okay but overpriced. We will not be gong back.

    I like Red Fish Grill. My first meal on my first trip to Nawlins was there and I've been a fan ever since. Good food, great service and ambiance that fancies up Bourbon Street a lil bit. Loved the Boufin balls and whatever sauce that is that they came in. Only thing I want a fan of was their fried okra, which tasted pickled or horse radishy but everything else was excellent. Who puts Rosemary in a boozy lemonade? Red Fish does, and it was gooood. I'll be back my next trip to New Orleans.

    As it happens, I had two business dinners at Red Fish Grill in one week. Therefore, I had the opportunity to try different dishes. The first night, I had the Gulf Fish with Shrimp. The second night I ha the Redfish with crab. Both of them were fabulous. I also enjoyed the oysters and the Boudin Alligators appetizers. The service was excellent both nights. And, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I heartily recommend this restaurant.
