    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.

    The food was good, however the noise level was so incredibly loud we were having to yell at each other at our own table of 4 to be heard. We will not return. Too many other great options with nice ambience and great food.

    There was a spice in the gumbo that was so off putting I could not eat it, or was it burned? I am not sure, but it was awful. It’s the Redfish Grill!!!!! Why don’t u just have some grilled fish options?????

    We came here for our anniversary. Everyone on staff knew and made us feel special, which is not a touch of service you get everywhere. The redfish was fantastic and the fries green tomatoes may be the best anywhere! Overall great experience.
