Ralph Brennan’s Red Fish Grill delivers on the promise of locally sourced, expertly prepared, fresh New Orleans seafood. For more than 25 years, this polished yet unpretentious favorite has anchored Bourbon Street—capturing the authenticity and vibrancy of New Orleans in every bite. Our signature wood-fired grill is at the heart of every menu, infusing fresh Gulf fish, shrimp, oysters, and crab—and even “go fish” cuts of meat—with a rich, smoky sweetness unique to Red Fish Grill. From our "BBQ" Oysters, a 10x New Orleans Po-Boy Festival winner, to our Wood-Grilled Redfish and Alligator Sausage Seafood Gumbo, each dish reimagines New Orleans seafood classics with bold local flavor. A lively bar, colorful dining room, and warm hospitality—delivered by a spirited team who love what they do—create an inviting setting that celebrates New Orleans’ seafood traditions with well-seasoned excellence.

We three enjoyed the evening breeze at a table on the porch under the oaks with a lovely view of the golf course . Food and service are consistently good and the house Chardonnay is a good value.

For a Monday, at 1:30, I suppose it was slow, which was to our advantage. The service was quick, and the food came out in good time. My travel partner had jambalaya pasta, while I had the arugula, strawberry and tomato salad with dollop of delicious cheese!

Everything was absolutely delicious!! We started off with the bone marrow and escargot app along with the beef tartar, both were amazing! The shrimp bisque was excellent with a little “kick.” My husband loved the French onion soup as well. The short rib was also delicious!!
