About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Frank was an excellent server! We had people in our party with food allergies and Frank took care to make sure all needs were met. Thank you Frank!

    Service was excellent. Food was ok. I think it gives a good idea of the NO cuisine, if maybe a little geared toward a tourist’s palate. But overall not a bad dinner.

    Very busy place and if arriving during prime dining hours, you will need a reservation. The appetizers are simple delicious. We could have eaten these on their own. The shrimp po-boy was dry albeit shrimp itself was very good. My partner had the platter and had an almost alike mood tasting. Service via Ike was outstanding. He knows how to work a table and then some.

    Our group threw every curve imaginable with the restaurant and servers and they stepped up each time. Kaleb was a great server. I would recommend the Blackened Gulf Fish, the oysters every way, the crawfish dip, the cornbread and the burger. Tremendous. I will be back.

    Firstly, the service was excellent! Our server was friendly and extremely helpful. She was prompt, anticipated our needs and seemed to really enjoy her job. We each had the signature dish - wood fire grilled redfish with crawfish topping. It was perfectly prepared and delicious. The salad and gumbo were good but typical without unusual or outstanding qualities. Our entree came out before we were finished with our soup and salad which I mildly dislike. The atmosphere was kind of loud and the tables very close together. It felt like a chain restaurant even tho it is not. I very much enjoyed my cocktail. Negroni Sour was unique and perfectly balanced. The price was about right for the area and what we ordered.
