The freshest seafood in the city! I ate things I thought I didn't like and loved them (lobster ravioli)! The biscuits were devilish, just like the waiter mentioned, so delicious but don't let them trick you into filling up on them! We did a tasting menu and the bartender was nice enough to do a mixed drink pairing with the dinner for me since I'm not a wine enthusiast. GW Fins has definitely set the bar on seafood! more

Best Seafood Restaurant Ever!!! 11/10/2009

This is the best seafood restaurant I have ever dined at! Everything was so incredibly fresh ... from the mussels in a thai broth to Chilean Sea Bass in a Hot and Sour Stock ... and those biscuits are addicting! Huge wine list ... and really reasonable. The desserts tasted like they were made by someone's grandmother! YUMMMMMM!!!! more

Awesome! 5/6/2008

We love this place and visit every year! It is on our rotation - GW Fins and Muriel's every visit. The biscuits are amazing and they were even willing to give me the recipe! Every appetizer, salad and entree we had tried has been amazing! The service is always personable and comfortable. In a city with amazing food, this is one of the best! Pros: BISCUITS, entrees, service Cons: i guess it can be a little loud at times more

Great place for a romantic night out! 3/20/2008

This place was definitely one of our favorites in New Orleans. It has a great ambiance and wonderful staff. The menu is different every day and there is a nice variety of choices. My husband and I ordered different seafood entrees and were very pleased with the freshness of the fish and scallops. The meal was pricey but definitely worth it! We would definitely go back there again on our way through the city! Pros: great food Cons: expensive more

good seafood 5/8/2007

i went with a fairly large group (8) and yet we were seated promptly. we all had a great time and the service was not bad. i had the lump crab salad (mixed greens, asparagus, and tomatoes with a creamy basil dressing) to start and that was delicious. the buttermilk bread, by the way, was warm and so good -- i had 4!!! i also had the chilean sea bass (braised in a hot and sour shrimp stock with enoki mushrooms, sauteed spinach and boc choy) which felt so buttery it just melted in your mouth. i also tried a friend's scallop entree -- that was very good too. everything there was just good. i would go back for some great seafood! more

OOOOOOOOH so good! 2/4/2006

They went above and beyond our expectations for our 1st anniversary. The table was specially decorated, menus were personalized for the occasion, and desert was brought out with an additional plate that read, ""Happy 1st Anniversary"" written in chocolate. The entire staff made sure we were well taken care of. I haven't even mentioned the food. The Lobster dumplings were incredible. I had to remember my manners to stop myself from licking the plate. The grilled scallops with the rizoto was to die for. I was so enthralled by my meal, I don't remember what my husband had. (Actually, I think he had the sesame crusted tuna.) To finalize the meal, we split a creme brulee. It was a creme brulee in it's finest form. (no cornstarch or gelatin used that I could tell). I have no clue about the land based entrees. In NOLA, you gotta eat the seafood. Pros: location , food, service Cons: none for us! more

Amy is the best 6/23/2005

Our server Amy was very informative to the selections and the wine pairing, when we had special requests for the preparation there was no question and the meal was served promptly and exactly the way requested. The Sea Bass was excellant. more

Great place....tainted by ""that guy"" 6/21/2005

I took my girlfriend of 10 years to GW Fins to propose to her. This experience was ruined by the guy sitting next to our table. He was obviously drunk, as he was vulger, loud and obnoxious in everything he did; telling stories of snorting various illicits, dropping F-bombs every minute and then whining to his friends that he didn't want to share a meal with people that were mad at him. This is a fine establishment, but management should be more attentive to the effect of unruly patrons coming in off of ""Bur-Bon"" street. Pros: Seafood, Wine Cons: Patrons, Service more
