Do NOT be steered away from this place! It may not be the fanciest restaurant in New Orleans, but…read morethe seafood was amazing and the service was spectacular. We came in Saturday night without a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes. Our waitress was amazing from the second we sat down. I really wish I remembered her name because she was super attentive, funny, patient, and honestly made the whole experience even better. My boyfriend and I started with the Creole oysters and OMG... probably some of the best oysters I've ever had. They were incredibly flavorful, and dipping the bread into all that sauce afterward was SO good. My mother-in-law had the fried calamari, which came with remoulade, and she really enjoyed it. For my entrée, I had the jambalaya with chicken and andouille sausage. It was definitely spicy, but really, really good. My boyfriend and mother-in-law both had the grilled red snapper topped with their creamy crawfish sauce, and they loved it. My father-in-law had one of the oyster specials with shrimp and crawfish, which was also excellent. We finished with dessert... boyfriend and I had a chocolate mousse/cake dessert and my in-laws had the bread pudding. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was casual and fun, they had the football games playing on the TVs, and our waitress was fantastic the entire night. Just an overall great experience. If you love seafood and oysters, definitely give this place a try. I would 100% come back!

We ordered everything off the raw bar off the specials menu, and everything was very good. My favorite was probably either the Kinilaw or the crab claws. The Kinilaw's flavor was perfectly balanced, not too sour at all, and the crab claws soaked up the marinade nicely, and it was very flavorful. The crab salad was delicious too, the flavor felt cooling and refreshing on a hot and humid day. The tuna crudo were also really delicious, but for how much we paid for that one, I did wish there was a bit more. Service is excellent. Fast and prompt. The staff are knowledgeable and kind. Definitely coming back!

I genuinely do NOT understand the hype around Pêche. We came in with pretty high expectations given…read morethe Michelin Guide recognition and this was easily one of the most disappointing meals we had in New Orleans. We got there about 20 minutes early and they were nice enough to seat us early, which I appreciated. We did ask the host if the AC was working because it was HOT and he looked at us like we had just offended his mother. Weird start. Our waiter Jason came over to explain the menu and immediately seemed flustered/annoyed that we had questions. It was our first time there?? Of course we had questions lol. I told him I have a crustacean allergy. He mentioned shellfish and I clarified that it was specifically crustaceans because I can eat other shellfish. No big deal and I WILL give them credit because they did accommodate my allergy. Before the food even came my father-in-law ordered an Old Fashioned with one large cube. Jason seemed annoyed by that request too, said it was fine, and then the drink comes out with a bunch of regular ice cubes anyway. Had to be redone. Small thing but this basically became the theme of the night. Then the food. I wanted the kale salad and asked if they could leave off the peanuts. Absolutely not because apparently it's the chef's grandmother's recipe and there are NO modifications. Okay grandma. We won't disrespect the recipe. For my hanger steak they offered to cook it separately in a pan because of my allergy which I genuinely appreciated. I also asked if I could ORDER the creamed corn on the side and was told he could ask but couldn't guarantee what the kitchen would do. What?? It's literally on the menu and I'm paying for it lol. They did bring it and it was basically corn kernels sitting in watery liquid. Underwhelming is being generous. The crab claws were good but nothing memorable. My boyfriend ordered the steak tartare and somehow that took longer than everything else because apparently raw steak on bread needed extra time. Then the Royal Red shrimp...THIS was insane. My boyfriend was almost finished when he got to one that was undercooked and SLIMY. At a seafood restaurant with this kind of reputation??? We told Jason and basically got a "thank you for letting me know." Sir. You just served someone slimy undercooked shrimp. Maybe show a LITTLE concern??? For entrées my boyfriend and his mom got the grilled cobia. Tiny piece of fish with a bland corn situation. Mediocre at best. My father-in-law and I got the hanger steak. Mine was closer to rare than medium rare and kind of cold. Again...mediocre. Because of my allergy my potatoes came separately which I appreciated. Mine had aioli underneath them while my father-in-law's SAME potatoes had no aioli whatsoever. We asked someone why and he literally just smiled at us like... No explanation. My father-in-law ended up eating some of mine. Then Jason realized he completely forgot my mother-in-law's Brussels sprouts AFTER our entrées were already out. He offered to put them in but couldn't guarantee they would arrive before we finished eating. LOL okay never mind then?? By this point Jason seemed to be actively avoiding our table and honestly the entire staff looked MISERABLE. That was probably the weirdest part of the whole experience. Everyone looked annoyed. Nobody seemed like they wanted to be there. People kept walking behind us hitting my chair and my mother-in-law's chair. It was hot, cramped and just had a shitty vibe. The saving grace was dessert. The sticky toffee pudding and caramel cake were REALLY good and easily the best part of the entire meal. But two good desserts cannot save an entire dinner. Between the mediocre food, inconsistent service, forgotten order, weird attitude over basic questions and an UNDERCOOKED SHRIMP at a seafood restaurant...I truly do not understand the reputation. Maybe we caught them on a terrible night but New Orleans has way too many incredible restaurants for me to ever waste another meal here.

A Seafood Spot We Keep Coming Back To!…read more My husband, my daughter, and I have been going to Boil Seafood House for the past few months, and so far, we've really enjoyed every visit. It's definitely become a place we keep coming back to. We usually get the seafood boil with snow crab legs, and this time we went with the medium heat and butter garlic flavor. Everything was really good and full of flavor. My husband and I got the potatoes as our sides, while my daughter got the boiled eggs. We also ordered a side of French fries to share, and let me just say... we ate those so fast that I completely forgot to take a picture! They were good! I also like the whole seafood boil experience here. They offer you a bib and gloves if you want them, which definitely comes in handy when you're getting into those crab legs. The service has been good every time we've visited, and the atmosphere is always lively. One of the coolest things happened after we had finished eating. Someone came around offering little samples for people to try, and they stopped by our table and asked if we wanted to try the soft-shell shrimp. I'm not sure if it's something new on the menu or just something they were serving as a sample, but we said yes -- and I'm so glad we did! That shrimp was delicious! It literally melted in my mouth. I'm usually not a big fan of eating anything with the shell still on, but this was so good that I didn't even mind it. Definitely not what I expected, and it was probably one of my favorite little surprises of the visit. I didn't take a ton of pictures this time, but I'll share the few that I did get. So far, Boil Seafood House has been a winner for us, and since we've enjoyed every visit, We'll be back again for another seafood boil!

Arrowhead to Drago's As always, Drago's has excellent food,…read morebut I want to start this review with some suggestions about the NON-FOOD of Drago's Riverside. ... When I was looking for Drago's on the ground flood of the Hilton, I noticed restaurant activity down a path bordered by two hip-level walls. It was Drago's. When I approached a sign at the end of the path, there was a horizontal line on the sign with instructions to go straight ahead. Well, straight ahead meant through the sign and through a wall. The sign also said something about a green wall. I looked left and saw the reception desk far in the back. So I kept walking left because the exit from the path was only to the left. I approached the desk to ask if I needed reservation for lunch about a hour later. I was assured that reservations that day would not be needed. When I approached the same sign in the path an hour later, I noticed on the sign a small arrowhead on the end of the horizontal line. It would be great if the arrowhead could be made larger and the verbiage would say simply "Go left for the hostess." ... On my return to Drago's about one p.m., I asked for a place a bit out-of-the-way. I was seated next to two screaming children. So, without complaint, the host reseated me in a darker part of the restaurant which was perfect for my preferences. My waitress was Ashanti. She was attentive, efficient, and personable. She brought me a half-dozen of charbroiled oysters which were hot and excellent with extra slices of French bread because much of the pleasure from charbroiled oysters is from the butter sauce. (This downtown Drago's might serve more French bread than the Drago's in Metairie.) The oysters were small but I could not complain because Argust is not really a month with an "R" in the name. ... I also had a cup of seafood gumbo (with a good complement of shrimp) as well as a Heineken and a Kim Crawford sauvignon. The gumbo was good, but no New Orleans grandmother need worry whether Drago's had stolen her gumbo recipe. .. The ambiance of this Drago's was good although the rap music was discordant early. Later there was a soothing clarinet. The table top was bare, but there were cloth napkins and good silverware. ... Enjoy Drago's.

Drago's in New Orleans is one of those places I'd classify…read moreas a tourist trap, but not necessarily in the worst way. If I'm here, I'm probably sitting at the bar, having a drink, and ordering the charbroiled oysters. That's the reason to come. Hot, buttery, garlicky, cheesy, and exactly what you expect when somebody says Drago's. Beyond that, I'm not really going out of my way for a full meal here. The place stays busy, there's a constant flow of tourists, and the overall experience feels more like checking a famous New Orleans restaurant off the list than discovering somewhere I can't wait to return to. The bar is actually the sweet spot for me. Grab a drink, get the oysters, enjoy the atmosphere, and keep it moving. Fine for what it is, and I'd absolutely stop in for charbroiled oysters, but I'm not building MY dinner plans around it.
