For twenty-five years, Red Fish Grill has celebrated the fresh, seasonal bounty of local farmers and Gulf fishers. We stand apart for our wide variety of fresh Gulf fish, expertly grilled to perfection on our signature wood-burning grill.

Our vibrant, polished-casual seafood restaurant, owned and operated by Ralph Brennan, anchors the first block of Bourbon Street and delivers innovative twists on New Orleans Gulf seafood specialties like BBQ Oysters, Hickory Grilled Redfish, Alligator Sausage & Seafood Gumbo, and Double Chocolate Bread Pudding.

Red Fish Grill's lively decor, expansive bar, and welcoming vibe beckon Bourbon Street revelers and serious diners alike in search of gracious hospitality and a commitment to inspired, locally sourced seafood.

    A great spot on Bourbon on the quieter end-amazing food always. We always luck out and have Frank as our waiter and we love him!! Every dish we've had here has been incredible. The woodfired red fish topped with crab meat is sooo good!

    Average food. Average service. I cook better at home, and I had their “supposedly” signature dish.

    It was our anniversary. Our waiter started us out with complimentary champagne. We ordered the signature wood grilled red fish and it was fantastic! Ike was the best waiter we have ever had. He has worked there 18 years and we hope to see him next time! Thank you Ike!
