Voted Best New Restaurants "Class of 13" by New Orleans Magazine. Desi Vega is the restaurateur of Desi Vega's Steakhouse and Mr. John's Steakhouse. Both restaurants are consistently outstanding and locals' favorite place to "see and be seen." Desi grew up in the restaurant business and was groomed by Ella Brennan at Commander's Palace, Ruth Fertel of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and Emeril Lagasse. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence makes for a truly memorable dining experience. Our USDA Prime steaks are carefully selected, hand-cut and aged for tenderness, then seared to perfection and served on a sizzling plate. We hope you'll visit to see for yourself!

    Wow! What a fantastic restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant based on the quality and taste of food, the ambience and their exceptional service. Our waiters Kevin and Pauly were the best. Probably one of the top two steaks I’ve ever had in my life. We will be back.

    We had the most delicious dinner ever! The Hoo Dat shrimp were why we came, but we added the tuna stack appetizer and it was so good! The steak with marrow butter was indescribably delicious. I can’t wait to come back. BUT, the real kicker making our dinner fantastic was Brian our waiter! His suggestions were spot on. He was funny and attentive. Brian was ably assisted by Gina, who also did a great job. Hope to see Brian and eat some tasty food at Desi Vega’s next time we’re in town!
