About GW Fins

GW Fins is a highly regarded fine dining restaurant located in the French Quarter, known for its fresh seafood that arrives daily. The menu features creative preparations and classic New Orleans-influenced dishes, with the menu changing daily based on what they receive fresh that day. Standout dishes include the Mississippi River Redfish with a delicious glaze, scallop bolognese with swordfish bacon and fresh pasta, pan-seared red snapper over shrimp creole, and barracuda, which is blackened and flavorful. Guests can enjoy the dry aged tuna and scalibut, which were very well prepared and delicious. The restaurant also offers exceptional desserts, such as the coconut on the half shell, a vegan option, and a rich creme brulee. Salty malty ice cream hit all the right notes. The atmosphere is pleasant, with a nice energy, a gorgeous room, and a calm, relaxing and romantic atmosphere. It's a bit loud, but worth it. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, with talented staff who often prepare and serve dishes without being asked. Servers provide great recommendations, and wine recommendations were spot on. The dishes, especially the lobster dumplings and pork belly, receive high praise and make it a popular spot for celebrating special occasions. Guests left with full bellies and big smiles. Reservations are recommended, and the dress code is stylish but not overly formal. The overall experience is outstanding.
