    Excellent experience! We always love Redfish Grill, but this last visit was exceptional. Our server, Asia, was phenomenal. The food was delicious, timely, and everything we anticipated. Service was outstanding. We will definitely continue to dine at Redfish, and we will be sure to refer everyone we know!

    We arrived at 12:15 by 1:45 we had to leave and didn’t get our entrees. We had tickets to &Juliet that started at 2:00. The place was way overbooked and the kitchen was majorly backed up. Our server was great and our appetizers were great but no entrees.

    My friends and I visit New Orleans monthly from Baton Rouge for theater season. Redfish has become our favorite restaurant for pre- theater dining. Love everything we have eaten and we loved Faithy, our server from South Africa.

    We had visited New Orleans in 2011 and ate at Red Fish. When we planned a trip back in 2025, one of the first things we did was make a reservation to eat at Red Fish again. It was just as good as we remembered.

    Had the blackened redfish. Actually we split it and were both pleased with the portion amount. As well as the flavor. Brussels sprouts appetizer was tasty. We were on our journey to complete the #FleurduCouer list of participating venues. Highly recommend this place.
