    We tried Grand Isle spur of the moment. What a great find. We had specialty fish dishes which were exceptionally and uniquely prepared. Classic New Orleans fare but this chef has made it with their distinctive flair. Our waitress Tiffany was superb.

    First visit, so we tried the Happy Hour. Did not disappoint as the food and our server, Ms E were the best! We chose the low country boil along with grilled and raw oysters. The oysters 🦪 were the biggest and tastiest I have ever had and only $6 for 6! Ordered another round and washed it all down with a cold draft. Best deal in town! Ms E was fantastic as was the rest of the staff. I had a very good and interesting conversation with the owner. Can’t recommend highly enough, a must!

    I recently visited Grand Isle and wanted to share my experience. Unfortunately, I found the food to be lacking in flavor.. Additionally, parking was quite a challenge, which added to the inconvenience of the visit. On a positive note, our waiter was very nice and attentive, which made the experience a bit more enjoyable. Overall, while the service was commendable, I was disappointed with the food and the parking situation.

    I was suspicious that it had something to do with fried food. It is a fine line we have to walk with people on that between them thinking that it is under spiced or over spiced, especially with people of out town. We air on the side of caution and go moderate because you can add but cannot take away. It is an ongoing battle with some fried items so again thanks for the feedback.
