Darla and Daniel were incredible waiters. Knowledgeable, great interaction. Food was perfect! Fried oysters with tasso gravy reduction was bomb. For those who don't know, tasso is Cajun smoked pork legs with extremely deep smoke. Then duck confit, thigh and drumb. Finished with peppermint ice cream and glacee drizzled with chocolate.

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!

Very good food! Big servings! Loved the rabbit dish even though I could not eat it all! Other parties had lasagna that was individually served in a big pan for each. So close to the Orpheum theater which we attended thst evening. All so very convenient snd good. Plenty of time for everything.
