    It is always such a delight to dine at G.W. Fins. We had a lovely anniversary dinner. I’ve been traveling to New Orleans for many years, and G.W. Fins is a constant with their delicious food, and wonderful and kind service.

    Great evening at GW Fins! My party of 4 sampled a range of appetizers and main courses, and all were plated beautifully as well as being delicious. Our server (Felix) and the restaurant staff were attentive and truly focused on making our evening special. I will definitely be returning, and I recommend GWF to all who want a great experience!

    This is one of the best dinners I’ve had in a long time. I took a number of the review suggestions and ordered them. Started with the lobster dumplings, beet salad, swordfish (hubby), scalibut (me), then the salty malty ice cream for dessert. The scalibut was AMAZING! The rolls were over the top. I was worried about the dessert because I am not a malt fan but this dessert was so good. Highly recommend GW Fins, but make a reservation as this restaurant is extremely popular. Note there is a dress code. But the dress code is very reasonable.
