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.

    My lady and I had a fantastic experience at the Red Fish Grill. This is my first time in New Orleans, and I could not have picked a better place to visit. I had the shrimp and grits and it was out of control! I’ve never had shrimp regrets with Gouda cheese that was so rich and creamy. It was delicious!

    A bit disappointing. Started out great, lovely server. But then waited quite awhile just for the drinks. Then, people who came in after us were finished and we still didn’t get our food. Had to call over server to check and then food came out dry and lukewarm. Would recommend the corn bread, that’s about all.

    Visiting NOLA for the first time with some friends. The raw oysters, gouda grits, po' boy, blackened fish and swordfish and bread pudding were awesome. Service was awesome. A total find for us! So happy we dined at Red Fish!
