GW Fins - New Orleans (LA)

5 /5 Scarlet Nichole: We celebrated my birthday dinner at GW Fins, and it absolutely lived up to its stellar reputation. Reservations are a must—and for good reason. The service was impeccable from start to finish. Our server, Chloe, was exceptional and truly elevated the entire experience. The table was decorated with birthday confetti, which was such a thoughtful and celebratory touch. The cocktails were beautifully made, but the food was the real star of the evening. We each ordered different fish dishes, and every single one was outstanding—perfectly prepared, incredibly flavorful, and genuinely melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It’s one of those meals you keep talking about long after it’s over. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate my birthday. Highly recommend, and we absolutely hope to return on a future visit to New Orleans.

5 /5 Ryan Kristensen: Another outstanding meal at GW Fins! It quickly became one of our favorite restaurant experiences of all time when we first stopped by in 2024 from Houston, and they lived up to the hype we created for our family in the weeks leading up to our reservation. The service is always top notch without feeling stuffy, and the food… lawdy christ almighty there wasn’t a weak link across three courses for 7 people—and I tried everything that hit the table. GW Fins solidified its spot as our gold standard for both seafood and service. Keep it up, we’ll certainly be back in 2026!

5 /5 Su N: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing food—everything was flavorful and perfectly portioned. We ordered the tuna, drum, halibut, grouper, pasta, barbecue shrimp and grits, and lobster dumplings, and every dish was delicious. The biscuits were outstanding—so creamy and full of flavor. The ambiance was very nice as well. Highly recommend!

5 /5 The Murf Murf: Very good food and service. Starting with the good the lobster bisque and calamari was really good. I have definitely never had calamari like Ive had here. The star of the show was the desserts. The creme brulee was kind of basic creme brulee there wasnt much special with it but the coconut thing was really good and Ive never had that anywhere. The biscuits they serve were hard as rocks and were just not good at all. The main thing I didnt like is I got a reservation and didnt realize there was a dress code for this place so when we got there they kind of said that I was looking bad even though I was just wearing a T-shirt and pants. But you have to have I guess some kind of button up top with a collar or something to be able to sit in the restaurant. But she did let us sit in the bar area. And we did only come here to get dessert but theres another rule that they dont tell you about is that you have to order more than just dessert. Which I think is a weird rule but whatever. It just made us feel extremely uncomfortable and I definitely did not like that. but the food that we got made up for the fact and we actually would like to come back again because theres other stuff on their menu that look very good

5 /5 Mandy W: I recently went here with a friend visiting from the west coast. This was my first time and GW Finns and let me tell you I hope to go back! Our waiter was superb! Full of energy (8pm reservation) and made us both feel at ease ordering in spite of our different food allergies! I wish I had better photos of the food, but let me tell you - it did not disappoint! The complementary biscuit reminded me of my Paw Paws (RIP). Buttermilk good. I ordered the Pork Chop and it was so tender and flavorful! The risotto was creamier than I am used to - which isnt a bad thing just mentioning its different. It was delicious! And the collard greens were the best I have ever had ever! And ohhhhh the sweet potatoes tasted like a dessert itself. We had the Coconut on the Half Shell for dessert which was a perfect top off to the meal. Next time I really want to try the Salty Malty Ice Cream Pie.
