    The food was fabulous. If you want good service with a great steak come here. We sat at the piano bar and had a wine prior to dinner the piano player was exception both playing and singing. We started with the chopped salad that had a really good Italian dressing.. My husband and I had the bone in ribeye with a loaded baked potato with sautéed onion and mushrooms. Was scrumptious. Highly recommend. It has an old school steak house feel. Very dark and sexy atmosphere. The service was outstanding. .

    I like Red Fish Grill. My first meal on my first trip to Nawlins was there and I've been a fan ever since. Good food, great service and ambiance that fancies up Bourbon Street a lil bit. Loved the Boufin balls and whatever sauce that is that they came in. Only thing I want a fan of was their fried okra, which tasted pickled or horse radishy but everything else was excellent. Who puts Rosemary in a boozy lemonade? Red Fish does, and it was gooood. I'll be back my next trip to New Orleans.

    The yellowfin tuna tartare, firecracker tuna tacos, and BBQ shrimp were very fresh and delicious. The complimentary biscuits were served right out the oven and cooked to perfection. I was blown away at how good the Golden Beet salad was, and it was perfect paired with the Scalibut and Parmesan crusted sheepshead. I was pleasantly surprised with the entree fish portion sizes and to top it off, our waiter, Cardale, was phenomenal!

    Food was all delicious!!! We had the wedge salad which was amazing! The blue cheese dressing was outstanding. We also got the bone in prime rib and it was absolutely delicious! The quality of meat was great and the seasoning and flavor was great. We got mash potatoes which were creamy and perfect. Finished dinner with the butter cake!!!!! It was HUGE but totally worth it even if it was just the two of us!
