Really beautiful ambience and delicious food. The service is exceptional.

Gw Fins Restaurant Review Gw Fins is truly a gem! We recently dined there to celebrate an early retirement, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The atmosphere was sophisticated yet welcoming, ideal for such a special occasion. The star of the evening was undoubtedly the food. We had the swordfish and the Ahi Tuna, and both dishes were over the top in terms of flavor and presentation. The swordfish was perfectly cooked with a delicate, buttery texture, while the Tuna was an absolute standout – fresh, vibrant, and bursting with bold flavors. Every bite felt like a celebration in itself. The service was impeccable, with the staff making us feel genuinely celebrated. From thoughtful wine pairings to their attention to detail, they elevated the experience to another level. Gw Fins exceeded all expectations and made our milestone celebration unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking exceptional seafood and a memorable dining experience!

This is my favorite restaurant in New Orleans. I have eaten here many, many times and I have never been disappointed. Highly recommend the brussels sprouts, the French 75, or anything that strikes your fancy. 

We had a delicious meal. I tried the newest menu item, the stuffed jumbo shrimp. This is definitely one you don’t want to miss. The service was the best I’ve had in the city!! This is my favorite restaurant to visit and be treated like NOLA Royalty. Our server JC was outstanding! Looking forward to returning soon.

The waiting staff was excellent all around. Their pace was perfect, they very kind, respectful and welcoming. The food was nothing short of amazing. I had the royal red shrimp, escargot and then finished with blackened grouper. Every dish was presented with precision and every bite’s flavor reflected that. I’ll be coming back every time I am in town.
