    We moved to New Orleans over 6 years ago, one of the draws was the vast possibilities for dining out. Although we will probably never exhaust our list of places to try we return again and again to GW Fins. It’s been #1 on our list for years now because they consistently deliver the best dining experience on every level, first and foremost the quality of the food and service. Last night was another perfect meal from appetizer to dessert, and Marlon was delightful. Much praise and many thanks go to Gary Wollerman and Chef Michael Nelson.

    Vessel is absolutely amazing. We went for my friend's birthday and the staff went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. We started with the fish dip and calamari and for our Entress we had the seared scallop risotto and seafood pasta. For dessert we had the bread pudding. The cocktails were equally amazing. Everything was exceptional from start to finish! We are planning to come back for brunch this weekend.
