Good portion size, food was good, but not outstanding. The red fish with crab was tasty. Red beans and rice lacking flavor. Hurricanes were good. Service was good at first then nonexistent. Worth a visit but we probably wouldn't return again since there are so many great places to try in the area.

Six of us went to Red Fish Grill for a 7:45  reservation on a Sunday evening, following a cheer competition. Although they were out of our young cheerleaders, first choices, we found items that both would enjoy. The alcoholic choices and mocktail choices were excellent. We all thoroughly enjoyed the brussels sprouts, skillet cornbread and fried green tomatoes as appetizers. The entrées included a pasta dish with chicken, a shrimp Poboy, gumbo, and red fish dishes. All were excellent as were the servers. The maître D was exceptionally friendly and helpful to us. We will definitely return when we next go to New Orleans.

This was a nightmare! we had a 2 hour window for a business conference, I pre-booked a table for 12:30pm for 7 and arrived at 12:15, I had to ask for a server after 15min of being seated, our dinner oder did not go in till 50 mins after we arrived, worst part there was no one in the restaurant, it was empty, two large groups came in and left after 15-20 mins of not getting served. I used to love this place, I will never go back, staff did not give a s#*t.

I've been a fan of RFG for years, but this last visit will likely be my last. The food was delightful, when it finally arrived, but pretty cold - not surprising considering it was more than an hour after we ordered. We ordered 2 cocktails, 2 appetizers to share, and for main courses, I got a soup and my companion got a Po Boy. Twenty minutes or more afterward, the soup arrived by itself. I ate it then, because the room was freezing and I knew it would be inedible pretty quickly (everyone near the front put their coats and sweaters on, when the door opened very cold air came in and there was nothing to compensate for it). After 45 more minutes, we still had nothing else, nor had anyone checked in with us to offer us bread or to refill our drinks. I finally told the server at 7:40 (we were seated at 6:30, which was our reservation time) that we had an 8pm appointment and needed to cancel the order. He went to check in and suddenly we received the two apps and Po Boy all at once - all cold. No way to eat that in the time we had, although what we did eat would have been tasty. The manager came by right after the food was delivered and we were candid about the wait and temperature, to which he replied he was sorry and would speak to the kitchen. That was it. Given the many, many outstanding choices in NOLA, this one is off my list. Very disappointing.

Food was very good, but service very slow. We waited for a very long time for anything to come out of the kitchen, and had to ask for bread to be brought out after we were already waiting for a long time

The raw oysters were pretty shucked and refrigerated by the dozen. They good not great. Same for the red fish. Served over potatoes unfortunately they were cold and hard. The fish was average.

Great service, amazing atmosphere! Food was super! This was the 2nd time we have came here! I was afraid it would not be as good as I remembered! It didn’t let me down!

The food is out of this world amazing! I definitely got the clean plate award lol. Ike is the best server, very knowledgeable and so friendly, also gave us amazing service. We went back the next day because we loved it so much! Highly recommend!

We dined here on Thanksgiving while in NOLA for the Holiday. While the food was good, the atmosphere was chaotic at best. We had a 3:45 PM reservation for 2, did not get seated until almost 4:30 PM. No waiting area, except out on Bourbon street, which for some reason was open to vehicle traffic that day, so narrow sidewalks with people speeding by in cars while waiting for table. The buffet was also running out of items frequently and the chocolate bread pudding was dry from sitting out. I would not return for the Thanksgiving buffet. The cost was ridiculous as well, over $200.00 for 2 (no alcohol) with tip.
Thee most amazing food! The staff were also beyond amazing and kind to me!!! Definitely returning soon!

It was my first time visiting New Orleans and staying in the French Quarter so I was definitely excited about the food and I'm sorry to say I was thoroughly and overly disappointed with the food not only here but everywhere I visited. I don't know lately I feel like the tourist areas don't put enough effort on the food since they know people will show up because of the popularity but I wish they would really concentrate more on quality than quantity. Other than that, the food took a bit long to get to us but the alcoholic beverages were good and the service was suburb. Our waitress had the best attitude and answered all or our questions. She was very attentive and charismatic, I'm sorry I forgot her name though. Don't think I'll be returning to eat here maybe just to have a drink. But that goes for all 4 restaurants I visited while I was there.

Starter was great, Louisiana Crab and Brie fondue. We ordered two main courses, but mine (Seafood platter) wasn't even delivered 15min after the first. We asked several time what happened, finally we got it but Redfish instead! Got compensated with a free drink but overall experience wasn't great. It wasn't a busy evening, the restaurant was just half populated only. The attentive, German-speaking waiter, who was excellent, deserves special mention.
