The food here was soooo good! Came from New York with my mom and sister and we absolutely annihilated the blue crab boil. Chance took care of us and he was fantastic. Made sure we had everything we needed and had really good energy. Will definitely be back if we come back to visit New Orleans!

Holy Cow!!! This is some of the best seafood I have ever had in my life and I've lived in the south near the water my whole life. The atmosphere was amazing and the server/bartender is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Very attentive! For those leaving bad reviews because they didn't have any crawfish, it's not crawfish season!!! If you stop in New Orleans and want seafood, this place is a must!!!

Got the boil. Not use to the mealy Shrimp but that may be just how they are. Margaritas w cheap tequila- tastes like toothpaste.
Service was pretty good but server couldn’t remember and had to write down a simple 5 item order.
Grilled Gator bites good though a little salty and over seasoned. Crabs are a waste of money because very little meat. Couple of us had to order something else to fill us.
Had high hopes but left disappointed.

Ordered the Messy Clesi today and the portion size was small and will not make you feel full, especially for $18 base price. The taste was amazing but still not worth the price.

I was a little surprised that they didn’t have any crawfish, but it’s totally understandable because they’re out of season. I’m not local to New Orleans, so I thought they’d be available year round. Not the restaurant’s fault at all btw, I just wanted to point out why I came here in the first place :)
I ordered the charbroiled oysters and I was a little disappointed by how salty it was. The cheese was so overpowering and plentiful that it drowned the small oyster meat in a bad way. The bread and butter that they used was really good though!
While the food was kind of a let down, service was great 👍 Super kind and friendly staff! The guy who took our order was really accommodating and helpful.
The atmosphere was very casual, but the place was kind of small and tight, so if you’re coming be prepared if you are bringing a large crowd. They have outdoor dining as well.
I wish I had the chance to have gotten one of their delicious sounding drinks. They seemed really interesting!

Core memory unlocked.
Outside of a short stop on Bourbon St last night, our 2200 mile trip to NOLA started with one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever been a part of.
After finding some highly rated reviews on Reddit, we made our way to Clesi’s and were blown away with our time there. Chance took care of us and delivered the highest quality service experience I’ve received in many years. Not only helping guide us through the menu with recommendations, but also giving us a very intentional idea of what we should check off our New Orleans list while in town.
The boil was everything we hoped for and more. As much as it would have been nice to have them, big respects on skipping out stocking out-of-season crawfish. Everything they put on that plate was really fresh and well sized. The burger and po boy the rest of our party was fantastic as well. Gold star for the candied jalapeño and bacon charred oysters!
New Orleans quickly became one of our favorite destinations we’ve been to and Clesi’s helped ensure we’ll be lifelong travellers based on the hospitality alone. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could!

We went to Clesi’s and it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Service was quick and the staff was super friendly, they really made us feel at home.
The best part? Besides the great food, they also recommended some awesome spots to go listen to live jazz… which was the perfect way to enjoy New Orleans to the fullest.
Definitely a must-try!
Great seafood boil! Unfortunately it wasn’t crawfish season- but the crab and shrimp were great. The seasoning was just right- adding flavor but didn’t overpower the shellfish ( it was also gluten free). Everything was very fresh and the shrimp were large . We sat on the patio at a picnic table . The bartender/ server was extremely nice and even showed us how to get the meat out of the crab. The corn and sausage were also really good.

Just used Clesi's through EZ Cater for a work baby shower. The food arrived right on time, was hot, plentiful and delicious. I look forward to using them again. The delivery server was very pleasant and attentive.
