"After an absence of a few years we decided to give GW's another chance. There is nothing wrong with anything they do - food is good, service is good, etc. But there are so many way better restaurants in NOLA that we will probably not return."

"One of our party ordered something off the regular menu and it took them until it was almost time to deliver our meals to inform her that they were out of what she ordered so then she had to rush to redecide. Seemed odd that it took so long for them to tell her plus you'd think they wouldn't be out of a regular item by 6:30.
Other than that, the food was very good as was the service..."

"They are a family friendly restaurant, not stuffed shirts like some high end restaurants. I like the fact that they do not push the dress code because they understand that most people who are dining with them are tourist and right now it's to hot for the shirt, jacket and tie.
I didn't care to much for our waiter, he calling my husband and son, boss, brother and chief. Needs more training.
This was our second time there and that didn't happen the last time.
The food was great."

"I rarely order seafood (even in New Orleans) because my husband is an avid fisherman and we have access to fish, oysters and crabs that usually slept in the Gulf of Mexico the night before we eat it. So when I say that the soft shell crabs were fresh and cooked to perfection and the Drum Fish was fresh and cooked perfectly.
GW Fins has moved up on my list of favorite restaurants in New Orleans."

"We came to Fins for a birthday celebration, and the food. Everything exceeded our expectations. When we arrived, the table was decorated with confetti and a personalized menu; the birthday girl was thrilled. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. We never felt rushed. The food! Divine! We ordered the lobster dumplings, soft-shell crab, iceberg triple wedge salad, and shrimp remoulade for starters. Our entrees were the Scalibut, Red Snapper and Grouper. Beyond scrumptious. It was a great experience and we are making plans to return soon. Oh, Fins offers validated valet parking at a garage only a block or so away from the restaurant! What a wonderful dining experience."

"Tried this restaurant prior to our "Fling Before the Ring" gals night out. From the time we arrived at the restaurant to the time we left everything was wonderful. Could not even begin to suggest anything in need of improvement. We tried three different appetizers, all of which were very tasty. All three of us ordered the drum fish. It more than met our expectations. After dinner drinks perfectly rounded out the meal. This dining experience was nothing but first class. The only bad side of the meal was that we were full and could not try dessert. Finns even gave the bride to be a menu with her name and the date on it as a momento.. This is what a dining experience should be! Kudos!"

"The biscuits were wonderful as was the wine list. The gumbo and shrimp remolaude were really good but the scallops I wouldn't recommend, they were slightly undercooked and I didn't care for the mushroom risotto either. The texture was off. The Jolt snapper was pretty good. It was cooked well but not much on flavor.. The atmosphere was wonderful and so was the service."

"GW Fins Was a great experience the food was good as was the waitstaff. The soft shell appetizer was the best I've had. Nice wine list and mixed drinks. I unfortunately can't remeber the name of our server but he was excellent. Make reservations as they book up on weekends. Even with reservations we waited 20 minutes to be seated. The dress code is dressy casual, no jeans/flip flops/hats."

"My husband and I celebrated my birthday at GW Fins and very happy with our choice! I had my favorite Scallops (grilled with Mushroom Risotto) and my husband opted for the Scalibut (Scallops pressed into Halibut). The serving size was perfect and we shared a Caesar salad which was placed on separate plates. There were wonderful little biscuits that kept appearing on our bread plate, which was a tad too tempting. We ordered the bread pudding to share for dessert and our server told us it was gratis in recognition of my birthday! Best bread pudding we've ever had and we would have gladly paid for it!"

"Good food with nice creative twist to New Orleans style. seafood done to perfection. An Extensive wine list which was surprisingly affordable and the service was quite good as well, but I think our waiter had one table too many. decor was a little dated and the space was a little noisy but you go for the food, not to look at the walls."

"we had a great waiter that offere thougth not pushed some options to us and we were so glad we went with his suggestions. He really knew the food and the town so it was a great experience. At the end of our trip we wished we gone back again vs dining at some of our other choices!"

"We spent our anniversary at GW Fins in New Orleans and loved it. They made our night even more special with their added touches - confetti on the table with a personalized menu for the evening, wishing us a happy anniversary. Both the food and the service was wonderful. Before dessert arrived, they brought us a plate with a lit candle with Happy Anniversary written in chocolate. And they even took care of one of our desserts. We were there with friends and the wine we had was delicious! A truly great evening!"

"I took my wife to a romantic dinner to celebrate our anniversary, and I could not have picked a better place. The waiter was knowledgable of matching our plates with the proper wine, there was an endless supply of sweet rolls, and every plate was delicious. We loved the sizzling oyster appetizer, and both our entrees, the salmon and the scalibut. The seats were so cozy that I felt almost at home. We were able to chat without the instrusion of conversations from adjacent tables, and the noise level was minimal. In 7 years living in New Orleans, this is, by far, the most pleasant dinner experience I have had. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone."

"After reading most of reviews and lots of recommendations we went to GW Fins. The food was not as upscale as we expected, and the service was too snobby!! We ordered the signature lobster dumplings and were OK, Oysters were yummy but we prefer raw bar, the worst part, the entrees: we ordered fish and both plates were extremely cooked and with no flavor at all, we had to pour lots of salt and pepper!!
It is a nice place with a classic upscale vibe, but we are more interested in creative chef designed food, specially in NOLA."

"GW Fins is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to.. The service was off the chart, from when we walked in to when they validated my parking on the way out. It was our 8th wedding anniversary and when we got to the table it had some classy glitter type things on it and a special menu printed with our names on it and happy anniversary on it.
Our waiter was amazing. He took great care of us and was very, very good.
The food was off the charts. We left full, which, at a high end resultant like this, its amazing. They had 2 different species of tuna on the menu. The food was amazing.
I'd give it a 11 out of 10. We go to fancy restaurants in New Orleans as a hobby and this was one of the best, if not the best, we've been to"

"We were seated at a booth in the back (recommend) so it felt very private. It seemed to be a very popular restaurant but since we had reservations, we were seated right away. The waiter was extremely friendly and attentive. I had hog snapper - a fish I had never heard of. It was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and served in a timely manner. There were attendants filling the water and iced tea as needed. Good one."

"In a city that boasts some of the finest dining establishments in the world, our best experience so far was at GW Fins.
The Ambiance: While Fins doesn't have the historical flair of Antoine's or the elegant charm of Commander's Palace, it has a more modern upscale-but-casual feel... reminded me more of a New York restaurant.
The Service: Excellent. I let the restaurant know that we were celebrating a special occasion and when we arrived the table was decorated, including a special commemorative "Congratulations" menu. Our server was very helpful with recommendations, and even gave us a free dessert (the Salty Malty!).
The Food: Simply put, everything was delicious. Fantastic fish and well-made cocktails."

"The food was outstanding. They are noted for their fish so that it what we ordered. I was pleased to find the portions were generous to be filling. The waitress suggested the mashed potatoes instead of the rice. That was a great tip. There was a waiter who walked around with a cookie sheet filled with hot biscuits. Yumm....they were also very tastie."

"We booked this restaurant from home in Toronto before we went to New Orleans for our 32 anniversary. I mentioned we would like a quiet table for this occasion and when we arrived hostess greeted us with " Happy Anniversary" and showed us to our table which was strewn with sparkles and a personalized menu.Our dessert was complimentary and accompanied by a single candle on a plate with chocolate writing spelling out Happy Anniversary. Our waiter was very attentive and the food was amazing! We so enjoyed our dining experience we re booked for another night of our vacation and were not disappointed.WE would highly recommend this restaurant for any one who enjoys great food with an emphasis on fresh fish!"

"I've eaten at all the great places in Chicago, New York, Miami, Vegas and I don't believe anyone has beet this place on the depth of flavors in the foods that they serve. We tried several appetizers and main entres and they were perfect. I have some culinary experience myself and I have never had a piece of salmon so delicious in my entire life. The Tuna Tartar was to die for and the signature dish was off the chain! Wine list was also impeccable!! I can't wait to go back...."

"Seared grouper & seared blue fin were awesome. The biscuits/rolls were warm, soft and never ending. Troy, our server, was knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. Suggested wines matched perfectly. The place was lively without being too noisy; and the tables were far enough apart so as not to overhear conversations from the next tables. Will definitely return to G. W. Fins."
