    My young adult daughter and I travel frequently but had never been to New Orleans; we very much enjoyed this casual eating experience- service started off with a bang but slowed significantly- but the food was excellent from the starter of fish bites to the entree of grilled fish and Cajun pasta - thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend

    I am local and have not eaten here in a couple of years but was pleasantly surprised to find the food and service was as good as ever. It is in the Brennan owned family restaurants which are the epitome of New Orleans cuisine.

    We had a wonderful experience at Red Fish. Our server, Caleb, was amazing! He gave great recommendations. We definitely would recommend and will come back again next time we’re in NOLA.

    BBQ oysters were amazing and the Rustic NOLA Shrimp creole was good. The noise level was low but the restaurant was half empty. I will go back for the BBQ oysters! The service was excellent!

    My husband won’t go anywhere else for red fish! I had the LA Cobb salad with shrimp and crab and it was the perfect light supper. Service was great and nice ambience, but it is a little noisy. I highly recommend Red Fish Grill!

    This is a good visitor/tourist venue. It is friendly , the bar pours a good drink, and the service is good. Tonight I wanted a quiet, not elegant, but refined dining experience. Redfish Grill is not that, but it has value and the food was good.
