For twenty-five years, Red Fish Grill has celebrated the fresh, seasonal bounty of local farmers and Gulf fishers. We stand apart for our wide variety of fresh Gulf fish, expertly grilled to perfection on our signature wood-burning grill.

Our vibrant, polished-casual seafood restaurant, owned and operated by Ralph Brennan, anchors the first block of Bourbon Street and delivers innovative twists on New Orleans Gulf seafood specialties like BBQ Oysters, Hickory Grilled Redfish, Alligator Sausage & Seafood Gumbo, and Double Chocolate Bread Pudding.

Red Fish Grill's lively decor, expansive bar, and welcoming vibe beckon Bourbon Street revelers and serious diners alike in search of gracious hospitality and a commitment to inspired, locally sourced seafood.

    The food and drinks were great and at a reasonable price. Our server was knowledgeable but could used a bit more training. Still a good experience.

    Service was professional and food was fine. One huge room makes for a lot of noise when busy.

    The restaurant had large grooves and the kitchen had gotten behind and the restaurant was full, so what could’ve been a recipe for lots of disgruntled customers was handled beautifully! Waitress kept checking on us and offering bread and appetizers while we waited. The manager came over and extended. Apologies but also Said that our bill would reflect her recognition of the extended weight. When our food did come, it was delicious. We were in tourist mode and not in a rush. And to our wonderful surprise at the end the manager had taken care of the whole bill! So we passed the savings onto our waitress. I’m sure I felt brunt of any disgruntled customers. They were just wonderful in my opinion and I would go back to that restaurant in a skinny minute!

    The only reason I gave 4 stars was because of a problem they had in the kitchen that took over a hour to get our food, once we ordered. Once we got our food, it was excellent (as usual), although my wife’s redfish could have been a great deal warmer. Shrimp and cheese grits was the best I ever had and the bourbon pecan pie was unbelievable! We’ll be back next trip!

    Cobb salad was disappointing. The shrimp did not appear fresh and the rest of the salad looked like it came from a bag of salad from the grocery.

    The service was fantastic. The food was good. We did wait a while for it, but we enjoyed our wine while we waited. We would do it again and again! Highly recommend it to people, be sure to have a reservation.
