Everything was delish the service was the BEST our twin brothers were perfect and attentive.
My wife and I went to Desi Vega’s Metairie location last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were seated immediately per our reservation. The restaurant was full but the service and the food were both top notch. Thanks to our server Paula and to the entire staff for making last night a very special occasion for both my wife and I. Although the restaurant was full we were treated like the only customers there. We will definitely be back again.
