Grand Isle Restaurant

We had a large group and we emailed ahead of time and was able to schedule reservation for a group of 10. The service was superb. The food was delicious as well. Here’s our top recommendations: sticky ribs, Caesar salad, Blackened Baked Gulf Fish with Crawfish Sauce, shrimp juju and Chargrilled Oysters. Also they will validate your parking if you park in the garage.

Walking down Fulton St and stopped by on a whim, and I’m glad that I did. Excellent customer service and the food matched. Ordered the char grilled oysters, Fisherman stew, smoked fried oysters and Sangria. Everything was delicious. I’m from Michigan but when I come back this will be my first visit

Amazing experience from the beginning to the end. The manager Lynette was very helpful and our waitress was immaculate and on point with every recommendation. Loved the atmosphere and the food was spectacular.

No waiting, all the server was attentive. Food came out in a reasonable time, temperature was right and definitely delicious. The best crawfish I ever tasted it's fresh. But the star was dessert. Passion fruit cheesecake! I forgot to take picture coz it was devoured by my son very picky eater.

Great meal! Staff were on point and nice atmosphere. Close walking distance to most hotels here.

A must ! We came here on a Wednesday during happy hour (I believe it’s from 4-6pm) and had $1 oysters . We ordered a dozen , half raw and half char grilled . And the char grilled were AMAZING!!! We ordered shrimp and grits , gulf fish with crawfish tails , and my son ordered a burger . The shrimp and grits was honestly the best meal I had on our entire trip ! This entree was bursting with flavor . We finished with the white chocolate bread pudding . The only downfall was the portion was a bit on the smaller side .

Went there for late lunch/early dinner right after they opened (4:00pm I think). Friendly staff. Had a pasta with crawfish tales -loved it. Could have bit more pasta though. Had a beer -happy hour was $1 or $2 or so discount. Also had a bread pudding dessert. Tasty as well. We also got a fried fish basket - cat fish, shrimp and maybe one more (not sure). Good as well. This place is a little but pricey. Did not appreciate gratitude automatically added to our tab. Would recommend to go there to try some sea food.

Every bit was delicious 😮crawfish beignets, seafood po boy with delicious Asian slaw, salmon and amazing grits! The kids has burgers that they loved and kids meal stuff. They loves the French fries. Janique was a fabulous server for our little people. Thanks for such a great local experience

Unexpectedly knocked my socks off with excellent oyster selections and several delicious entrées including my blackened gulf fish which was kindly substituted with the pecan rice (vice potato) which was extraordinary. Friendly service and one of the few NOLA places I know of that serves smoked/fried oysters with a delicious creamy remoulade and fresh chopped veggies. YUM! Note: I have a small dispute with the mandatory 20% gratuity but in retrospect, it was worth it and we even added an additional tip amount.

This place has great oysters and calamari. The creole sauce is incredibly good. Dragos oysters are good, but this place has much better flavor and the oysters are bigger. I got the catfish and greens and everything tasted awesome! The catfish was the best I've tasted, the greens were the best I've had and the potatoes salad was awesome. Portions were good and service was great. The restaurant is cozy, but their bathrooms aren't that great. Overall great experience. This is the best restaurant by the Marriot that I've eaten at.

It’s located near Riverwalk and Hilton so we usually stop by for happy hour. Their oyster was plump and juicy and crawfish was fun to eat. Nice vibe and friendly service.

Great experience. Nice atmosphere. Wonderful service.

Atmosphere says come in wearing shorts and flipflops, all are welcome! Food says Michelin Star! Flavors of everything was perfect! Wait staff is amazing! I'll drive back from Houston just to eat here again!

해피아워라고 대충 서비스하는게 아니라 정성이 느껴집니다. 음식 자체는 자극적이었지만 경험하기엔 괜찮았습니다. 안경쓴 여자 서버분이 굉장히 친절합니다. 다른 음식도 먹어보고 싶네요.

My sister and I were in town for Eras Tour and dined in on 10/26. We got there a little after opening and were immediately sat. The atmosphere was so welcoming and the restaurant was beautiful! Our server was Fasia (I’m so sorry if I’m spelling that incorrectly). She was THE BEST! So energetic and willing to offer us suggestions on what to do with the rest of our day. The food was also amazing! So good in fact, I called my husband as soon as we left to tell him just how good it all was. I can’t wait to come back and bring my family!

Absolutely amazing. Got seated at the oyster bar immediately without a reservation. Ordered chargrilled oysters, smoke fried oysters, shrimp juju, and the blackened fish. Everything tasted great especially the chargrilled oysters - fantastic! If your party size is big, recommend making reservations.

We were seated within minutes of arriving during a Friday afternoon. The servers were very attentive and familiar with the meals. We enjoyed the Chargrilled Oyster, Crawfish Pasta and the Blackened Fish.

Absolutely delicious!! Great recommendations from the workers, very nice people with Amazon food!

I absolutely loved this restaurant. The whole area had a great vibe. Very laid back and relaxed. We had a reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. The staff were so patient and kind. The food was amazing. I dont eat seafood or fish, but they had several other delicious options. I loved every bite.

The blackened gulf fish and the red fish here were very very flavorful. I’m so happy that we just randomly stopped by. Tiffany recommended both and she was spot on for what I wanted. She was kind and extremely knowledgeable.

This restaurant made me believe in eating out again. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, the atmosphere is so inviting. I really wish I knew my server’s name she was so kind, patient, & helpful. She helped my husband figure out what to order as he can’t really have seafood, however I LOVE it and the dishes were 10/10! The food comes out quick and the prices are fair. It was the highlight of my visit to New Orleans! The grits, oysters, & crab dip were perfect!

Mark was sooo great to us! So attentive and funny! We had a great time, the chat boiled oysters were freaking amazing! So good and highly recommend. Free two hour parking too!

We absolutely loved the Grand Isle. It was our last night in New Orleans, and we ran across this little gem. Service was fabulous. Kate was - hands down - the best server we had while in town. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, made our evening fun! The food was excellent. Highly recommend the hot crab dip and the charbroiled oysters...oh, and the crawfish beignets! The topper was their tequila selection. My husband is a "Tequila guy" and was impressed they had Fortaleza which he really enjoyed!!

What a great place to get some seafood and drinks. We got there just before the lunch hour rush and got seats at the bar. the server and bartender were both great and attentive. Food all looked great and the serving sizes were big. Lots of oyster options and fish. Ended up trying a few of the appetizer options and we enjoyed everything. Definitely gets crowed when there is a big convention going on so we were lucky to get a spot at the bar.

We ordered crab dip & chargrilled oysteres and both were very good appetizers but The blackened fish stole the show! It was the best thing we ordered & most popular item on the menu! The craw fish beignets were delicious and full of flavor. Bread pudding was the perfect way to finish the meal! If you’re in NOLA pleaseee check this place out!

My friends and I had a really good experience with Tiffany as our waitress. She was very knowledgeable with the menu, and everything she recommended was a hit! Would definitely return and hope she is my waitress again.

Ever had a grilled Romaine salad? Neither have I until I dined at this restaurant. I added shrimp and it was delicious!

I can confidently say that Grand Isle Restaurant served the best food I had during my New Orleans trip! The food was absolutely incredible, and the staff were so sweet and friendly, they made the experience even better. The chargrilled oysters were smoky and buttery, the crab cake was full of flavor, and the blackened Gulf fish with crawfish and potato croquette was absolutely incredible. Every dish was cooked to perfection. This place is a must-visit if you’re in New Orleans. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

We arrived at the restaurant before the dinner crowd- about 4:50p.m. so it was pretty empty. Seated right away and the food was out fairly quick! Everything was delicious- and the portions were perfectly sized so everyone (including kids) finished their plates.

We dropped in here right after the comedy show across the street. This place is awesome. The redfish was delicious. My wife had the poboy and it had an interesting flavor she absolutely loved it! Grilled oysters were some of the best I've ever had. We even got dessert, Brownies and ice cream.

I’m currently still sitting at the restaurant, but I’m literally blown away by the excellent service provided by our waitress Tiffany. She gave us a rundown of the menu, with suggestions recommended places to see in the area and was overall a breath of fresh air and wonderful experience to have. The food here was absolutely amazing! We had the shrimp and grits, crab dip, beignets, and I can’t think of the fish dish, but everything was great! No, this isn’t a turn up hype restaurant but I personally don’t need all that. This is a very relaxed and welcoming restaurant with great food and amazing service. Again, I personally thank Tiffany for being so dope.

I was looking for a good place for dinner and this one caught my eye. My server was extremely helpful recommending different dishes based on my tastes. All 3 dishes were incredible! Easily the best meal I have had. The food was outstanding and tasted very fresh. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

The food is great. Mark is amazing, he gave us the best experience for a wonderful lunch!

This was our first stop during our trip to New Orleans and this place did not disappoint! The service was good and the food was excellent! The oysters were some of the largest we’ve ever had and the entrees have so much flavor! Would definitely recommend.

Can't go wrong with anything on this menu. Great happy hour. And best damn char grilled oysters in town!!

Grand. Great. Absolutely grateful we found this fine, Big Easy establishment. While we did already partake in more touristy NOLA - not that there’s anything wrong with that - you can only go right with Grand Isle. And I’ll mention our orders were from some alternate food dimension that can only be crafted by their chef. The menu makes it clear: “No Refunds” ‘cause that’s how CONFIDENT they are with what they serve and clearly the labor of love that goes into their grand grub. We got a Caesar Salad, which is a rather basic choice. But here they baste 2 large uncut romaines with a dreamy dressing. Do make sure to have the Icebox Lemon 🍋 Pie, that’s key-lime-esque but lemony fresh with a fruit compote. Do not eat this dessert. Rather let it slowly seep into your tastebuds. My dish of fish was fan-freakin’-tasty. The corn grits are a hit (even as someone who normally despises grits). Make sure to talk to the staff - The servers, hosts, and bartenders are food-fluent and insightful. And whether you’re a foodie or not, your trip to Grand Isle is an investment beyond worthwhile!

Great spot for seafood. Oysters were great. Shrimp bisque was super flavorful and delicious and the drinks were very good. The rosemary Paloma had such great flavor. They also have fantastic happy hour specials.

I arrived shortly before closing (20 minutes), so the restaurant was largely empty and I was seated immediately. Very friendly staff. Ordered a bowl of gumbo and a grilled salmon with cooked vegetables and grits. Gumbo was decent, but not the best. The salmon dish was excellent, best meal I had on this short trip to NOLA..I would definitely reorder it and return to this restaurant on my next visit to New Orleans.

Food and cocktails were delicious. Paulie was an Awesome bartender, I loved his energy. We'll be back

I don't have anything negative to say about this place, apart from the automatic 20% tax. Our server was outstanding! And the food was very good! My wife had the "Chili Mint Wings" and a side of "corn grits" and she was raving about them! I ordered the "Smoked Bleu Burger" since I wasn't too hungry but you would never have thought that cuz I ate the whole thing and the fries! I opt the Mayo for ranch and that burger was done! It had a very smokey flavor and the bacon was nice and crispy. Our friends ordered the "Grilled Creaser Salads" and the "Smoked Fried Oysters, both were delicious. To be honest after the food and great service the 20% was well worth it.

Great food and service! We ended up ordering 3 starters and there was so much food we didn't have room for entrees. But we did save room for dessert! Oysters were very good and reasonably priced. Paid about $50 per person, but that included a cocktail, splitting the starters and a dessert.

You know it’s authentic when their motto is…”frozen and fish are two words that should never be joined!” 🦀🦐 We tasted the soul of New Orleans in every bite! 🫶 We can’t wait to return with our next visit to NOLA!!

This place was spectacular! The food was amazing. The charbroiled oyster was to die for OMG. Also the shrimp and grits…like…literally no words. You just have to try it. By the way our server, Kevin, went above and beyond for our table. Drinks were brought on time, water refills, our food, all of that. I hope he gets every penny of that 20% mandatory gratitude fee!

Best crawfish etouffee in town, on top of great red fish too. They get fresh fish delivered daily. I wonder why they only have 17 reviews, and the other places have 2,000 when this spot is way better! Highly recommended!

We had raw and broiled oysters. They were huge, especially compared to another restaurant. Pricing was very reasonable. Nice drinks. Staff was very knowledgeable and superb in service. I will be back!!!

Great, authentic New Orleans style spot. Miss E was our waitress and she was excellent and a credit to this restaurant and the city itself. The ribs are truly top tier. Can’t recommend enough.

The food was wonderful as was most of the staff, except our Elonda L (our server). She was condescending from the start, sent stuff we didn't order, and didn't send things we did order. I guess because the 20% gratuity is automatic doesn't matter. Everyone else and the food made up for her so I still round up 4.5 to 5. The Grand Isle oyster soup was a delightful spin on oyster stew. I know another establishmemt is known for their charbroiled oysters but G.I. surpasses them in flavor and preparation (imo). The grilled ceasar salad was perfect, good smoky grilled taste, slightly charred.

Great food with nice scenery! We got the Creole pasta and it was amazing plenty of sauce and crawfish! Char grilled oysters were a pretty good size with great flavor!

We had reservations for 7:00. Called at 6:00 to inquire about early seating and they immediately accommodated us. The food was excellent. The chargrilled oysters were some of the best I’ve had. My wife had the blackened gulf fish with crawfish tails and raved about it. I had the Creole crawfish pasta. Exceptional! Our server, Kevin, was very helpful in helping us choose our items and made sure we were well taken care of. We will definitely be back and share our experience with our customers when we help them book travel to this area.

Best Plate of food I’ve ever had in my life. No Cap. I went two years ago and I’m leaving another review because every so often I get a remembrance on my taste buds. That’s Fish and Crawfish Sauce… ooooweeeeeee. Crispy potato cake and the spinach. CLEARED!🤤 The mac was sharp 👌🏽 too. I did prefer another oyster spot over theirs but still nice. They were just too big for me. (newbie to oysters) 🦪 GO GO GO!

Comfortable Relaxed Atmosphere with Superb Food The wait staff are so friendly and knowledgeable about the menus. Shout out to Faija, Tijera, Nathan and Chef Teddy. Nathan thank you for recommending the Blackened Gulf Fish with Crawfish Étouffée Sauce. Excellent choice!!! The BEST charbroiled oysters hands down!!! The jalapeño grits were amazing as well. Hit the happy hour for the $1 oysters and $8 shrimp boil bags. You will not go wrong here with any of the choices. Jeff Hof is the Executive Chef and Owner. I cannot say enough about this gem!!!

Grand Isle Restaurant is within close proximity to the river and Caesar’s Palace and offers a seafood-focused menu with fried seafood options, oysters, po’boys, and more. The building is very old and provides an authentic old New Orleans vibe to the dining room. The food was excellent. The chargrilled oysters were a highlight, the crab dip was rich and creamy, and the fried seafood was done to perfection, while the bread pudding was shared by the table and lasted just seconds before being demolished. The service was fantastic. The server was engaging and helpful and added to the experience. I happened upon this location on a whim while staying at Caesar’s and I’m glad I decided to give it a try. I was definitely not let down by my decision!

We have had the pleasure of visiting Grand Isle on several occasions, and it has become our preferred destination in New Orleans for exceptional fresh seafood, served in a relaxed, upscale, fishcamp-inspired setting. The establishment endeavors to create a "fancy fishing camp" within the city, harmoniously blending the unpretentious, fresh seafood culture of the coast with a refined New Orleans dining experience. The restaurant's walls are adorned with striking black and white photographs by Fonville Winans, who beautifully captured the essence and culture of Grand Isle during the 1920s and 1930s. On our first visit, we we sat at the Oyster Bar and were thoroughly impressed with the friendliness, candor, and humor of our "shucker," Will. This positive experience prompted us to return for dinner a couple more times, and after a subsequent meeting with sales and operations manager Amanda, we decided to book our son's wedding rehearsal dinner at the venue. We cannot adequately express our satisfaction with the food, ambiance, and service provided by Grand Isle Restaurant. We highly recommend this establishment and eagerly anticipate our next visit to New Orleans. Incidentally, the rehearsal dinner was absolutely perfect. Hats off to Amanda and her staff Faija and Giocomo

Las ostras son espectaculares.

What started as a terrible experience with the host seating us in the sun outside in an empty restraunt with lots of of tables in the shade was quickly overturned by our brilliant server Mark who immediately changed our table when he saw how uncomfortable our seating was, to interacting so nicely with our kids, to great recommendations for food which all tasted excellent. Thanks Mark, for saving our experience at the grand isle and 5 stars for marks attention service and hospitality!

The best lemon drop martini I’ve ever had! I had the seafood soup and grilled oysters. They were to die for! Our waiter was amazing! I can’t recommend this restaurant enough!

The blackened crawfish was absolutely delicious!! Added bread for $1 to sop up the sauce…now I can say that I got to experience delicious New Orleans seafood! Really glad I came here

We stopped in for Oysters on the half shell and were not disappointed! Absolutely amazing and shucked fresh right in front of you when you sit at the bar. We also had the crab dip and the fisherman's stew. Service was amazing and we had the best conversations with the employees at the bar. Will definitely be back!

We asked the server, Tia, what her suggestions were. She did not disappoint! We did the Fried Redfish, small rib plate, catch of the day, and the cheesecake of the day. Everything was so amazing! Oysters and steak on a stick for the appetizer started everything off Perfectly. The Antidote, Old Fashion, and Hurricanes were perfect dinner drinks. If I had remembered to take pictures of the food, it would have made mouths water. The Christmas decor were simple and elegant. And overall the space was perfect. They do add 20% gratuity to the bill, no matter the size of the party. Not mad at it.

The oysters were fresh and delicious! So many amazing options on the menu to choose from and our waitress was so friendly and helpful, it was our first time in NOLA and she had great recommendations to give! Definitely give them a try!

I had the hot crab dip as an appetizer🔥. My group tried the Grand Isle Burger, Creole Crawfish Pasta, and Catfish Basket. Everything was VERY FLAVORFUL. Jolanda was EXCELLENT. She was personable, honest, offered great suggestions, and attentive. Will most definitely be back for her service alone. If you are a bland eater this place may not be for you.

This was the surprise of our trip. It was our first N/Orleans meal, and it was the best. I was with a foodie group, and we compared everything to this place. If we had time, we'd go back. Best BBQ shrimp in the city.

This place was great! We ordered the redfish with veggies and a potato salad, along with some raw oysters. Everything was so tasty. And seriously—where else can you get a half dozen oysters for just $6? The potato salad was the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve eaten a lot of potato salad in my life! The service was friendly and quick, which made the meal even better. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

After a day full of several travel hiccups, we were tired, frustrated and hungry. We came across the Grand Isle where the kind hostess immediately sat us. Our amazing waiter was named Kevin and he was great! He was attentive and patient. He kept our drinks full and offered brief chats throughout our meal. The food was delicious! We had the angus steak skewers, grilled shrimp over the house salad, a shrimp poboy and a side of jambalaya. Our taste buds were truly delighted. The experience at the Grand Isle turned our day around and became the BEST part of it!

El sitio es agradable y cómodo, la atención excelente, el pescado y sus acompañamientos exquisitos y el postre de chocolate blanco delicioso. Recomendado al visitar New Orleans

Exelete comida muy sabrosos y ricos recomendable ir

Comida buena

Had a great time here! Our group was very grateful they were open during the tropical storm and they have an extremely friendly staff. I had the alligator po boy - I enjoyed it. It was spicy and the restaurant was spacious. Stop by if you're looking to have lunch with a group of friends. Thank you!

Despite choosing this restaurant solely for its proximity to my hotel, I had low expectations for it. However, to my surprise, the dining experience turned out to be excellent. Although I initially wanted to order crawfish and oyster, unfortunately, they were sold out which left me feeling disappointed. However, I decided to try the fried shrimp with sauce and Chef's soup instead, and both dishes were exceptional. The Chef's soup contained a plethora of seafood and vegetables mixed with rice, and I found it to be even more enjoyable than traditional gumbo and etouffee. I am looking forward to returning to the restaurant later today for happy hour and trying their crawfish. Note: The tip was already included! ***Boiled crawfish costs $8 per pound during happy hour!

I came by here with a small group of friends and family. We were greeted by a hostess at the front of the restaurant and taken to a table. We would eventually get a booth as a result of the table size. We ordered two crab dips for our table. Both of them arrived hot, looked nice, and tasted pretty good too. This was a hit with the group. We ordered bowls of seafood gumbo with rice. The bowls were served with a half crab on top of the meal. The ladies didn't eat or like crab served this way. Two in our group did not eat oysters contained in the gumbo and thought it was just okay. Two ordered fish and fries which was a direct hit with the group and popular. I ordered the fish sandwich and fries, which was a bit disappointing as the fish was VERY thin. I tasted more ingredients than I did fish. The service was pretty good and the server was knowledgeable which was a great help to our group. We did have to ask for a refill on our drinks. This whole restaurant food experience was pretty good, but not great.

+6

The food was very tasty and the service was excellent. I had the shrimp and grits, jambalaya, and my wife had the fried shrimp platter. The portion size was good, and the prices were a little steep but comparable to other restaurants in the downtown area. We got seated right away with 6 people on a Sunday night around 7 pm. Overall, I was happy with my meal and the dining experience.

The food we ordered was excellent, the "Pimms Cup" I ordered wasn't so great. We had a fried chicken sandwich with an order of shrimp and grits. But that Pimms cup didn't need the maraschino cherry and bitters added to it. Im from Louisiana, and that's not a good "New Orleans" style Pimms Cup, it also costs like 25$ for that beverage.

We had a great meal here, and the service was friendly and welcoming! A good spot to check out when visiting New Orleans, with reasonable prices.

I visited this restaurant while traveling through NOLA with my best friends. The appetizers are the STARS of this show!! The crawfish beignets were so tasty & the sauce made it even better. The wings were delicious & cooked to perfection. The shrimp ju-ju was good and tasted like bang bang shrimp for you to get a better understanding of its taste. However, the chicken in my entree was super salty, but the sides were great. Overall, the experience was good. I definitely recommend any of the appetizers I had.

Food was just hit or miss. Gumbo was meh. Fried oysters on salad were great. Boudin has too much rice. Old fashioned was very sweet.

The food was good. The clam and crawfish pasta was excellent. Food is not cheap. There is no refill for lemonade. If you ask for no ice, they bring ½ glass.

Large group dinner, lots of fun, decent food, service lacking. It is spacious, there's plenty of seating without being on top of one another, yet, all servers aren't able to handle large groups. The cornbread and oysters were the best thing smoking!!!

분위기가 좋고 실내 공간이 넓어 단체 모임을 하기에 적합합니다. 하지만 음식이 대단히 맛있었나 하면 저는 잘 모르겠네요...돼지고기는 너무 질겼고, 전체적으로 간이 애매하다는 인상입니다. 하지만 가격이 꽤 합리적인데다, 직원 분들은 아주 친절하시고 당일 예약도 가능합니다!

Dined in 02/20/26. Myself and my wife together for a date night. Our very first time at this restaurant. Didn't even know this place was right outside the casino. Didn't know much about it. Our waiter jack, was very nice, accommodating, very personable. We wanted to order an appetizer that we weren't sure if it had onions in it due to my allergy. He went and checked, and gave us a list of everything on their menu that didn't hasn't onions in it. We ordered oysters for an appetizer. She ordered the fisherman's and I ordered the red fish. Red fish had the most out of the world seasoning on it, and I mean it was amazing! Made my mouth happy lol. Her fisherman's dinner had, shrimp, mussels, and calamari in it. She loved the flavor and the amount of seafood. Will most definitely be back. The staff is amazing, and welcomed us like they had known us forever.

Buena comida y buen servicio. Demoraron bastante los platos principales

Se come bien...mucho frito. Pero un frío terrible por el aire acondicionado

Muy buena la comida..sólo tardan en tomar la orden.

Buena comida

Good was good but small portions versus price. $21 for the catfish platter and get three small fillers.

Good taste, but very overpriced. The seafood was actually tasty, but the prices were extremely high for what was offered. The quality did not justify the cost at all. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the experience felt overpriced and not worth the money.

The vibe was inviting, the reviews were good and the pictures of food looked great. However, we should have seen the red flags that they stand by their food and absolutely no returns. We were initially sat at a table squeezed next to another table that was nearing the end of their dinner. They shared that when the party next to us got up, they would move that table next to ours to comfortably seat 11. Our waitress, Kate L., rushed us through every portion of our meal; very disappointed.

We waited at least 5 min before some one came to greet us. Our server Jolanda was really nice and gave honest reviews on items to order. The food was just mid. ( not great and not bad) If you order catfish, chicken sandwich it is not seasoned.👎🏽 Very Bland! The jambalaya was spicy with no flavor.👎🏽 I had fried shrimp and it was pretty good and the chargrilled oysters were good! Keep in mind a 20% gratuity is automatically charged to your check! Besides the service the food for the price isn't worth it. Disappointed! Never Again!

My wife and I decided to give this place a try. Neither of us really cared for this restaurant. I thought that the portion and quality was not really worth the menu price. My wife's food was cold when our food arrived. This could have been quickly resolved, if the waiter was more observant; however he was distant and only came back to throw the check on the table. Because of this service and food issue, we do not plan on coming back to this restaurant.

+6

Food is not their strong suit. Full bar available with TVs to watch sports on multiple screens. Tables available throughout the restaurant. The shrimp basket seemed to be the safest bet given another review claims the restaurant suffers from a rodent problem. The shrimp had a kick and was nice sized. Pretty sure it’s farm raised as opposed to wild caught Gulf shrimp. Fried to perfection but not as good as expected in NOLA. The fries were horrible. Not the best but they are decent in the most general terms. I will not ever return.

The food at Grand Isle is solid, which makes this experience even more frustrating. The problem is the front-of-house. The woman at the main reception who was assigning seating was openly rude, and completely unprofessional. During our visit, my fork accidentally fell. So I was trying to ask for another fork but nobody was responding so I grabbed a fork kept on next table. Instead of responding like a normal human being in a restaurant, she yelled at me across the space, drawing unnecessary attention, and followed it with a comment that was was hostile. There is absolutely no excuse for screaming at a customer. Restaurants in a diverse city like New Orleans should know better. Hospitality means respect. This was the opposite. Good food does not make up for being treated with disrespect. Management seriously needs to address how guests are spoken to by the staff. Until that happens, I would not recommend this place to anyone who expects basic decency along with their meal.
