The sheepshead entree is out of the world. I don’t know how the chef made this dish. It has the perfect balance of a fried/baked textured fish meal . Somehow they did it, and it was amazing.
Best service yet! Amazing Red Snapper and Scalibut is a must. Can't go wrong with a Irish Coffee night cap and if Apple Pie is on the menu, it's a must try.
Don't miss the smoked sizzling oysters (the shells are heated to 500 degrees then cold-smoked oysters soaked in drawn butter are dropped in, brought to the table semi-raw and sizzling). Read more
The scalibut was delicious. The tuna sashimi too. Overall great experience, good for an occasion, very romantic .
We celebrated our anniversary and the service and food was terrific. The sizzling oysters and tuna tartare were delicious. Entree's we had salmon and tuna both were great. Recommend a reservation .
Holy amazing. Outstanding service , coupled with amazingly delicious and beautifully prepared food. What a special night we had. Everything was as good as imagined and I will definitely be going back!
This restaurant by far was the BEST place I tried in all of New Orleans. It's perfect for a date. The food was beyond spectacular (try the scallops & mushroom risotto , if available).
Everything we had was amazing. Lobster dumplings ! Scalibut ! Swordfish ! The free biscuits were addictive, we had 3 or 4 a piece ????
One of the many nice, classy restaurants in the Quarters. Ensure you adhere to the dress code. All the appetizers were great. The entrees were great. The staff was superb.
Everything is cooked to perfection. The blue crab pot stickers and the blacked swordfish are beyond excellent! I cannot recommended this place enough. Highly highly recommended!!
Make a reservation if you can get one. Very busy for lunch and dinner everyday!the food is the star here. The service is all - pro!
Start with the biscuits & lobster dumplings . When making your reservation go Weird & order the secret item for the table to share. Business dress attire is required.
Red snapper was very good, service was perfect. But the ravioli was the peak. You must try that ravioli , heavenly good...
Sizzling oysters , Fish tail wings were two of our favorites, but everything was delicious. Men must wear a collared shirt (or could borrow one).
Scalibut was really delicious; also, have the sides, the asparagus , roasted cauliflower were yummy, and bok choy was REALLY scrumptious.
Try GW Fins blackened fish , the fish varies but the technique is always dead on - Gambit's Five in 5. http://www.bestofneworleans.com/gambit/five-places-for-blackened-fish/Content?oid=2060481
If you're getting an app: octopus and tuna tartare are to die for! Can't go wrong with the red snapper ! Great service, amazing food!
Entreés were good. Seafood and fish . Biscuits were the best I’ve had to date in Nola. Keep thinking about the biscuits .
Everything is amazing - especially the oysters , the lobster dumplings , and the pork chop .
Try the Apple pie with cheddar cheese top crust, served with vanilla ice cream - The pie is a great #dessert and the cheddar puts it over the top
Lobster dumpling & crab potstickers are a meal all by themselves. This place is so good had to visit twice in one week
Crab cake appetizer is amazing as were the Sea Scallops !! Great food and service. The most incredible dinner !!
great seasonal menu - can't go wrong ordering any locally caught fish . don't miss conundrum on the wine menu - its a fantastic former caymus wine
Get an early reservation . Ask for booth on back wall. Scalibut is a must. It's an amazing combo.
The biscuits are the best I have ever had in my life! And if they have the blackened swordfish , get it...it is Amazing!!
Try the Smoked Sizzling Oysters - These are huge, juicy, well seasoned and served so hot that the #seafood scented smoke will get in your eyes
Blue crab potstickers with pea shoot butter, a must try!
The lobster dumplings were the tastiest things I've EVER eaten in my ENTIRE life. Come 5 to an order. Order a couple and make that your meal!!
Good service , nice ingredients, but offensively dull, lifeless results. I'm not extremely difficult to please, so maybe I just had really bad luck (I see that my reaction is quite unusual).
Chef can make some deserts . Lots of great options on the menu for dinner .
Smoked oysters are a must! Ordered just a half dozen but wishing I had ordered a full dozen.
Service was a little off, way crowded , food was excellent
The swordfish was fantastic and the service was incredible. My family and I were thrilled with everything!
Addicting biscuits and great food selections. I've never had a bad meal here.
Smoked sizzling Gulf Coast oysters . As advertised but so much more nuanced and luscious than you'd imagine.
Red Snapper fresh off the boat was excellent.
Smoked sizzling oysters - amazing! Parmesan crusted drum was also great- and gluten free
Fried chicken , red fish is excellent. And the biscuits are to die for!
Salibut and Bluefin tuna ... the best of the best!!! Delicioso!
Pot stickers and dumplings could be a meal in themselves. Both are fantastic
Try the Salty Malty And Mascarpone Cheesecake - Only snapped a pic of dessert but this place was AMAZING!
A great local place. Beautiful interior and fantastic food. Sea scallops with mushroom risotto is ridiculously good.
Parmesan crusted Drum fish with lump crabmeat ????
Rick Tramonto, chef of Restaurant R'evolution, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Lobster dumplings . Read more
Perfect location for a romantic dinner , particularly the booths in the back. Jerin and the rest of the staff were extremely attentive. Our food was exquisite.
GW Fins Swordfish - intermittently available, is blackened and served with roasted corn butter- Gambit's Five in 5 Read more
The pork chops are way better at Muriels', the pecan pie is more crust and ice cream than anything, but the mushroom rissotto is pretty good...
It's a sin to not get the soft shell crab appetizer . Not a venial one. Straight up mortal sin. Get the crab !!!!!
The best seafood , delicious desserts , amazing wine list with 50-60 wines by the glass! Read more
