    We moved to New Orleans over 6 years ago, one of the draws was the vast possibilities for dining out. Although we will probably never exhaust our list of places to try we return again and again to GW Fins. It’s been #1 on our list for years now because they consistently deliver the best dining experience on every level, first and foremost the quality of the food and service. Last night was another perfect meal from appetizer to dessert, and Marlon was delightful. Much praise and many thanks go to Gary Wollerman and Chef Michael Nelson.

    We were looking for a delicious French restaurant with a nice wine selection and Justine exceeded our expectations! Angelo our waiter was so wonderful and made some great suggestions. Jasmine who was the server in training was so sweet & attentive. The hostess Taylor was also very sweet. The food was amazing as well. I had the Justine burger and my husband had the shrimp and grits. We ate every last bite and enjoyed the entire experience. We highly recommend Justines and will definitely come back next time we're in NOLA!!
