Nobody does Creole/Cajun food like the Brennan's. The seafood is always fresh and the servers are amiable and well-trained to provide a dining experience.

Know before you go - single diners are always offered a complimentary dessert or after dinner drink.

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!!

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.

I don't think I can ever forget the perfectly fried oysters that I had for dinner here. The service is impeccable too and just a perfect dining experience. Our waiter couldn't have been more gracious during my last visit and he had a genuine sense of excitement and pride to be working there. I wish i could remember his name! I've been back quite a number of times since its Katrina reopening and i must say that they are a beacon of restaurant recovery. This is a must for all tourists so they can get the best NOLA seafood out there.

We were just there last night (unfortunately, we're back in cold-ass Denver tonight). The Red Fish Grill was our best meal in New Orleans, although the Gumbo Shop was a very close second. We had the BBQ oysters, crusted andouille gulf fish, a really interesting (good interesting) hickory flavored tuna, gumbo, and the double chocolate bread pudding. Our servers (Greg and Paul) were awesome. Very informative, very nice.

We got a ton of food, and the bill was around $90. We're not exactly high rollers, and the food was well worth it. Seriously, just go. And get the double chocolate bread pudding for desert, no matter how full you think you may be.
