   Great time! The jambalaya fries were out of this world. Glad to get some end of season crawfish. Topped our vacation!

   Crawfish were delicious. It was a hot day and although we sat indoors, the A/C just couldn’t keep up.

   We are not from NOLA and have never had a seafood boil before. Missy was our waitress and she was amazing. She made us feel at home, even took the time to walk through everything on the menu and then teach us step by step how to eat our crawfish and crabs. We were so thankful for her for Making it such a fun experience!

   We were placed at a table in the sun with a broken umbrella next to a loud fan. There was a table in the shade available but were told that server couldn’t take another table. It started pouring down raining and no one came to assist or offer alternative so we got soaked moving our drinks. Once it stopped we took a seat at the shaded table that had not been as wet. Food was served cold and salty and overly priced for the portion. Maybe the boiled seafood is what they do best but we didn’t try that. Our experience was not good so won’t go back.

    Food was good. Waiter was not so great. We were first seated directly in front of a large outdoor fan that blew the menus and paper towels away. We asked to be moved or turn the fan off and the waiter acted like he didn’t understand the problem and didn’t want to move us. It was literally 1 foot from one of our chairs. He then acted out of when we asked for salt and it took him 30 minutes and 3 different attempts to bring the correct checks. He first tried to charge us for a lot of extra food. Other tables did not seem to have a problem with service like we did.

    The food was simple and very good. We ate inside by the bar so it was quiet. The steamers outside were very noisy so I’m glad we chose inside.

    The crawfish and shrimp were perfect. We loved the fried broccoli, although it was not the healthiest choice. The place was rustic, a little hectic, and totally appropriate. Hostess and server both lovely and hearing the cooking noises throughout dinner added to the positive atmosphere and experience. This place is so much better than Bovi Seafood, do not hesitate to pick Clesi’s.

    I'd mistakenly reserved for 2 rather than my intended 3, and the hostess was very kind in accommodating us, which she certainly did not have to do. All staff were very good and friendly! Crawfish was very good and nicely seasoned without overwhelming heat. Good time in the season for nice sized bugs! Sausage, potato, and mushrooms also cooked up nicely. Shrimp was overdone.

Incredible to see. Dusty was a nice server. Definitely would go back and enjoy Clesi’s delicious food. BEST crawfish in NOLA!!!!

    Everything was great but some areas are very loud. We say inside so it wasn't too bad. Crawfish were perfect. It was super busy on Sunday so I'd recommend a reservation, but they won't seat you until your entire party is there.

    Boiled crawfish were excellent, but boiled shrimp left much to be desired - they were just about impossible to peel. I believe they were overcooked.

    We have never visited New Orleans and knew we wanted crawfish. I found this place on OpenTable and it definitely lived up to the reviews! We had Bree as our waitress and she was phenomenal! The crawfish was amazing and perfectly seasoned! We ended the night with their waffle bread pudding…ahhhh-mazing! On top of the food the atmosphere was perfect! We sat outside which was a great vibe!

    The only complaint would be the bathrooms. The commodes were blocked and unable to flush. The two rooms were not clean nor tidy.

    Clesi's has taken the old boiled seafood restaurants and made a step up to meld seafood and the outdoor experience like Wrong Iron very nicely. Crawfish were excellent, price expensive. Shrimp were overcooked-don't boil them like crawfish- just drop them in boiling water and turn off the heat. Will return for a nice overall experience.
