For twenty-five years, Red Fish Grill has celebrated the fresh, seasonal bounty of local farmers and Gulf fishers. We stand apart for our wide variety of fresh Gulf fish, expertly grilled to perfection on our signature wood-burning grill.

Our vibrant, polished-casual seafood restaurant, owned and operated by Ralph Brennan, anchors the first block of Bourbon Street and delivers innovative twists on New Orleans Gulf seafood specialties like BBQ Oysters, Hickory Grilled Redfish, Alligator Sausage & Seafood Gumbo, and Double Chocolate Bread Pudding.

Red Fish Grill's lively decor, expansive bar, and welcoming vibe beckon Bourbon Street revelers and serious diners alike in search of gracious hospitality and a commitment to inspired, locally sourced seafood.

    Service was great. Took our server Frank’s recommendations on everything and he helped us pick some great food. Was a bit nervous walking in as the restaurant was not too busy but that turned out great.
