G W Fins does not look or feel like a traditional New Orleans seafood restaurant for good reason: It isn't. Fish and shellfish flown in from around the world are the calling cards of this consistent and sophisticated seafood specialist in… Read Full Editorial

My Review by ronl777204993 via Citysearch on 9/21/2014

GW Fins has the reputation for the freshest fish in the French Quarter, and the swordfish certainly delivered. My wife had the snapper which wasn't nearly as good.\r

My Review by katieg150772615 via Citysearch on 6/13/2012

The freshest seafood in the city! I ate things I thought I didn't like and loved them (lobster ravioli)! The biscuits were devilish, just like the waiter mentioned, so delicious but don't let them trick you into filling up on them! We did…

Good Food by Susan H via Insider Pages on 3/6/2010

Fun place to eat. Staff agreeable. Food good. Sometimes a wait, so reservations are a good idea. Nice ambience.

Best Seafood Restaurant Ever!!! by lisa s via Insider Pages on 11/11/2009

This is the best seafood restaurant I have ever dined at! Everything was so incredibly fresh ... from the mussels in a thai broth to Chilean Sea Bass in a Hot and Sour Stock ... and those biscuits are addicting! Huge wine list ... and…

Awesome! by norcaltravel via Citysearch on 5/6/2008

We love this place and visit every year! It is on our rotation - GW Fins and Muriel's every visit. The biscuits are amazing and they were even willing to give me the recipe! Every appetizer, salad and entree we had tried has been amazing!…

Great place for a romantic night out! by nborje via Citysearch on 3/20/2008

This place was definitely one of our favorites in New Orleans. It has a great ambiance and wonderful staff. The menu is different every day and there is a nice variety of choices. My husband and I ordered different seafood entrees and…

good seafood by pinays via Citysearch on 5/8/2007

i went with a fairly large group (8) and yet we were seated promptly. we all had a great time and the service was not bad. i had the lump crab salad (mixed greens, asparagus, and tomatoes with a creamy basil dressing) to start and that…

DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! by grh044 via Citysearch on 1/3/2007

PROMPT SEATING, SPACE BETWEEN TABLES, JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SERVICE, FOOD TO DIE FOR, OWNER VERY ATTENTIVE TO ALL OF HIS PATRONS, YOU GET A VERY GOOD FEELING ABOUT BEING THERE...VERY SIMPLY PUT....."EAT THERE!!!"

Fresh fish from around the world characterizes the menu at this seafood lover's haven. by Contributor via Citysearch on 3/22/2006

In Short
Steps from Bourbon Street, GW Fins is a world away from the outside hustle. The dining room is large and open, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a wall of windows. Aquatic-themed artwork adorns the walls. Fresh…

OOOOOOOOH so good! by eburingvw via Citysearch on 2/4/2006

They went above and beyond our expectations for our 1st anniversary. The table was specially decorated, menus were personalized for the occasion, and desert was brought out with an additional plate that read, "Happy 1st Anniversary"…

Amy is the best by fdavis via Citysearch on 6/24/2005

Our server Amy was very informative to the selections and the wine pairing, when we had special requests for the preparation there was no question and the meal was served promptly and exactly the way requested. The Sea Bass was excellant.

Great place....tainted by "that guy" by myfirstdate via Citysearch on 6/21/2005

I took my girlfriend of 10 years to GW Fins to propose to her. This experience was ruined by the guy sitting next to our table. He was obviously drunk, as he was vulger, loud and obnoxious in everything he did; telling stories of…

Unexpected by upbubble via Citysearch on 5/20/2005

It was the end of a very hectic day when I went here and this place was like a tonic. The service was excellent and atmosphere sophisticated but very relaxed. Don't expect New Orleans seafood (though the gumbo was outstanding) but the fish…

Good food - average service by mveatch via Citysearch on 2/11/2005

Reviews indicated that GW Fins offered some of the freshest and best seafood in New Orleans. The food didn't disappoint -- my wife's ahi tuna was perhaps the best we have tasted. The service, however, was decidedly uninspired; slow,…

One of the best seafood restaurants by wenxian via Citysearch on 1/6/2005

Overall, it was a great dining experience. My husband and I both had the Tuna Tartare to start. It was rather disappointing as the tartare was rather bland and the flavors overpowered by the side of japanes seaweed salad. The main…

Anniversary delight! by drokoz via Citysearch on 5/12/2004

Wonderful 10th anniversary dinner. Seated promptly. Treated like royalty. When placing our order we also ordered one of the house specialties, the baked apple pie...it's made to order. We began our dinner with salads, a nice spring mix.…

Don't Miss This place by debbieburger via Citysearch on 9/17/2003

I am a "foodie" from San Francisco and I researched restaurants and hit some of the best. G W Fins was one of my two favorites (the other was Peristyle). Beatiful Decor ... excellent service. I had Chilean Sea Bass and it was a unique…

Best Fish I've Ever Had by dochog via Citysearch on 8/22/2003

I had the Turgot, my friend had the Seabass. We both agreed that it was the very best fish either of us had ever had, anywhere. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great service, good value.

As good as it gets... by lafinley5 via Citysearch on 3/28/2003

This restaurant was recommended by several friends and we found very favorable reviews via the internet. GW Fins lived up to every expectation. Ambiance was lively and ecclectic. The service was outstanding! There were several people…

Failed The Test by gwen_herndon via Citysearch on 3/1/2003

I was so excited about visiting this establishment. It had rave revues ! My husband & I are frequent visitors to the quarter....in addition to being seafood and fish lovers. I was bitterly disappointed. The Calamari I ordered was tough and…
