    Enjoyed our dining experience at RedFish last night however the musician outside playing in the street was excessively loud and right in front of the windows. I feel bad for the establishment because had we not had a reservation I would have quickly moved past it to a quieter location. Luckily we were seated in the back and could not hear it too much. Service and dinner was exceptional - loved the cornbread !!

    We had a wonderful Christmas dinner! We decided to split a bunch of apps and everything was DELICIOUS! Favorites were the crawfish bread and crab spinach dip. Our waitress was so nice and made the whole experience for us! We were on the second floor with a gorgeous view of the Mississippi River & with a giant Christmas tree sparkling beautifully out from the other window! Highly Recommend!

    Why is this place so good? Because it's beautiful, the food comes out hot and fast (but not too fast!) and is uniformly delicious, the prices are right, and I can state without equivocation that there is no better service in the city. No better service in the city? Our waiter yesterday was so on top of things, courteous, attentive, present, etc. – I cannot complement him, his assistants, and the restaurant enough!
