Editorial Review for Red Fish Grill – by Jill Gottesman
In Short
Part of the Brennan family's suite of New Orleans restaurants, the funky Red Fish Grill is stunning in its decor and in its food presentation. The restaurant's boldly hued interior was designed by local artist and sculptor Luis Colmenares, who placed pieces depicting various sea creatures throughout the colorful dining room and bar area. Gulf fish is prepared on a wood-burning grill, like the signature redfish. Other items include crab cakes, seafood gumbo and barbecued oysters.

The food here was outstanding - the service was slow. We ordered raw oysters and they took 25 minutes to arrive. We ordered some Gumbo which came out quickly and was delicious and filling. The oyster delay obvioulsy wasn't the server's fault - they had a shucking problem. But, it was New Year's Eve afternoon and they had to expect a crowd - where was the help? Instead of apologizing for the shucking issue and checking back in with us, our 2 servers were both too embarrassed to come by the table. It's a shame the restaurant put them in this position. When the oysters finally arrived - they were outstanding. We ordered more, but got tired of waiting and called for the check. If you're going to serve oysters in the French Quarter - you have to be able to get them out relatively quickly! We heard from others that the restuarant is spotty on the service side - sometimes good, sometimes painfully slow. We just came on a slow day - go with some friends when you aren't in a hurry, the food is worth it!!
Pros: food
Cons: wait

There are so many restaurants in New Orleans, it's a tall order to narrow down which ones to visit while there. Visit this one for sure. Despite it being in one of the city's most trampled sections, seating and service were great and the food was to die for. The sesame tuna was absolutely perfect, one of the best I've ever tasted. My girlfriend, who after days of NOLA seafood was ready for a steak, got what she said was the best meal of the trip hands down. Both portions were big, bread was great and even though were stuffed, we made one of the best decisions of our eating lives by ordering the chocolate bread pudding. That was quite a finish. I've always loved Jacques-imo's, Desire, Felix's and the like, but this one is deservedly added to that list.
