    I got the wooden grilled red fish and it was amazing. For dessert I got the crème brûlée, it was good. The service was excellent! I loved it!

    We had a round table for 8, which is ideal for connecting with each other. Service was excellent, very friendly and professional. The food was also great, “traditional” New Orleans style. The $55 prix fixe menu was a great value. Would highly recommend the shrimp and grits, gumbo, and drum. All perfectly prepared.

    Have never had a bad meal at GW Fins. Food and service are consistently above average, even in a city where the average is abnormally good. We’ve been coming for over 10 years but this was our first visit with our 18 month old toddler. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. You’ve earned yourself another fan for life.

    Most food is definitely shareable. Each item ordered popped with its own explosion of flavors and was beautiful. Service was incredible… Highly recommend!

    We celebrated a birthday at Irene’s and had the best experience. From the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left, everything was outstanding. Restaurant staff were kind and accommodating, the food and service were above and beyond…. We haven’t stopped thinking about Irene’s all day today (the next day). We had the meatballs, escargot and ravioli as appetizers, and I highly recommend all three. For our mains, we ordered the fettuccini and amandine dishes, and I also highly recommend both. Looking forward to our next visit to Irene’s.
