Shrimp Etouffee... this wouldn't cut it in Louisiana. The only dish I have had at Cosmo's that disappointed me.
Shannon S.

This is owned by the same folks that run Cobalt and it's location is not as fantastic or fancy but it also is usually easier to get in and out of. They have a nice size patio area along with a good indoor dining area along with a good size bar. The service here is almost always fantastic with the occasional and rare exception. The menu and ambiance seem even more casual than Cobalt while some of the food items are the same or similar they do have many unique items distinct from Cobalt like sushi. They have a nice discount on the sushi rolls at certain times of the day and this is certainly some of the best sushi in the area. I'm not a big fan of the burger here but the Firecracker Shrimp (which seem to be on the menu of all the restaurants this group owns) are usually a good appetizer in moderation as the sauce is very rich. The one really huge disappointment I've had here is the shrimp etouffee which absolutely wouldn't cut it in Louisiana! All the other food I've had here has been good to fantastic so they just need to do some additional work on that etouffee! I would be quite happy to be their taste tester and I'm also known as making a pretty amazing shrimp and crawfish etouffee myself so maybe I would even share some of my secrets to help them do a vastly better version of etouffee. Overall I'm a big fan of this place and all the other restaurants this restaurant group owns. I even have a YouTube video about this joint you can find on the NOLA Gent Channel!

Huge outdoor seating area and indoor seating. Very vibrant atmosphere and loved all the photos on the walls. Service was great and fast. Food was excellent! Wonderful flavor and a huge menu! I can't wait to go back and try some more things from the menu.

In this picture is fire cracker shrimp Alfredo french fries and a martini.

This place was amazing. They had great fire cracker, shrimp and french fries. The Caesar salad was incredible! Great amount of dressing on the salad perfectly drenched also added with cheese yum. We also had the edamame for an appetizer so yummy perfectly salted. I had a pomegranate martini absolutely amazing taste like a pink lemonade. Service was amazing in ambience incredible. Thank you!

Salmon Salad and Blackened Chicken Fried Rice
Justin P.

This was our first time visiting this establishment. The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere is fun and colorful. I had the blackened chicken fried rice, which was very tasty! My wife had the salmon salad. I would recommend Cosmo's!

The Cosmo Roll

I ordered the cosmo roll and it was AMAZING!!!! Best sushi I've had in a long time! The flavors worked perfectly together! Definitely a must try item!

Pecan Redfish

Food was great. I loved my redfish. Everyone in my group had a good meal including the kids. I loved how the dishes were artsy but accessible to everyone. Our server was great she kept our glasses full the whole time and answered all of our questions. She even gave my Mom her recommendation on how to order her fish. Restaurant was pet friendly as long as the dogs stayed outside. The walls were covered in local art that was available for purchase. 10/10 will be back.

Happy hour menu

First visit to Cosmo's today. We were not disappointed. We brought our dog, Ellie along with us and the staff was very welcoming to her. We sat on the covered porch which was surrounded by cute shops. Each one of the shops and restaurant are named for the restaurant owner's dogs. Our server was Lee and she was very prompt, friendly and made great suggestions for us. The food was great and the service was even greater! Thanks Lee for a fun and tasty lunch!

Outdoor seating! Great service, cute little area. Food was spectacular! The cheese dip was to die for!!!!

Crab Cakes with Remoulade Sauce, Parmesan Risotto and Fresh Asparagus
Terry F.

Looking for a local restaurant with great service and food? Look no more - Cosmos Restaurant provided that and more! My first visit, we were a party of two. We were there during rush so concerned we may be put in a loud area as there are several different areas for dining. We were pleasantly surprised they chose a nice quiet corner and a perfect place for dinner! I ordered crab cakes and my friend ordered the shrimp po- boy. I replaced the rice that normally comes with the crab cakes to the Parmesan risotto! Both meals were delicious! I personally, being a southerner, would have preferred the crab cakes to have a little spice to them with paprika or cayenne. But, that's just me! Well done staff, cooks and owners!

Larceny Blackberry Smash
Leslie H.

Been here a couple of times and it's always good food and service. Also has a dog friendly patio that's a nice spot in good weather.

Food- I had the mahi mahi blackened on sourdough and it was great. Not sure of the sauce but it compliments the fish very well. Great side salad all fresh. Had a cheese dip app with some pita chips that was great. I was too wrapped up in my meal to ask, but I believe the salmon salad was great. The fettuccine I heard was awesome and another in our party had the salad with tomatoes and some nice large mozzarella balls. Will definitely go back if we have a chance this week. Told the wife she knocked it out of the park on this one. Service was great and friendly Lee(sp?) was very attentive without being overbearing. Ambiance was almost perfect ( no dogs when we were there) seriously though we've got no complaints at all. I even got a hat even though I'm not much for souvenirs.

Craft cocktails for the win!

Food was amazing! Banana leaf sea bass was melt in your mouth. Coconut Blackberry mojito was sublime! Service was impeccable and live music was cherry on top. Ambiance with outdoor seating is so chill. Over 10 yrs since eating here and it's still 5 stars

Banana Leaf Wrapped Sea Bass
Alison L.

Attentive staff with lovely outdoor seating, pretty flowers, chandeliers and a stage for live music. The sautéed crab claws were in the most delicious sauce. The meat was excellent. The Red snapper in meunière sauce was amazing with excellent flavor. The banana leaf wrapped sea bass was so soft and flaky. Amazing food!

Banana Leaf Wrapped Sea Bass. Very very good.

Hi! My husband and I will be down Labor Day weekend and are looking for a place to have a nice dinner , then stay to watch the Alabama vs Florida State game at the bar. Would this be a place to do that?

Cosmos is one of the better places to eat in the area. We spent a week there this summer and ate out every evening. Cosmos was at the top of our list. Excellent area outside to watch the game as well.

The atmosphere and location of The Gulf are unmatched. Beautiful views, palm trees, and right on…read morethe water. It was very busy when we arrived, so finding a seat was a little stressful. My advice, find a seat, have someone order at the order window, then head to the bar to order drinks. The wait to order food took about a half hour. It was very quick to get our drinks. We were able to snag a couch area on a platform. It was so comfy and we loved the views. A heads up- if you snag a couch like this, kids will get up on the platform and jump off of it. People will step up on the platform and walk extremely close to you. I had to ask a kid to stop throwing sand by us because we were eating our dinner. It was a little chaotic. We were extremely patient and understand, but I could see some people being very upset and annoyed. After ordering, our food came out pretty quick. I started with the coconut grouper bites and they were phenomenal. Light breading, lightly sweat, and flaky. I had the Gulf Grilled Cobia and it was phenomenal. The fish was tender, flaky, and light. No fishiness at all. The sauce on the fish was also delightful. My husband and son had the fajita skewers and both enjoyed them. My husband also had the peel and eat shrimp and said they were amazing at The Gulf. Our drinks were okay. We had better drinks at other places during the week, but they weren't bad. We would return, but try to come on an off-time that wasn't so busy.

This place was super cute but the food was very expensive and not worth the quality. We ordered two…read moremeals on the cheaper end of the menu and it was over $80 with no drinks. Our meals came with fries and the fries tasted like they were cooked two hours ago in old frying oil. Then, we ordered drinks, I got a margarita and it tasted super weird like they put a bunch of club soda in it?? So yeah the environment was nice but if you go I wouldn't order anything. There's another restaurant across the street Cobalt that we went to the night before and their food was amazing! The food quality was way higher and the prices were great!
