What??!! This is one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten in in my entire 50-year-old life!…read more We have been coming to New Orleans a couple times a year from Southern California for about the last 10 years or so and I'm upset that no one even recommended this place!! We are here for the Essence Festival and I just so happen to be rapping to one of the security officers at the convention center, and she recommended this place. I want to go back & give her the biggest hug and kiss on the cheek! It is ridiculous how flavorful everything was! Just didn't make any sense! Lol lol I've sent this location to everyone I know that travels to New Orleans. The price is great, and the portions are very healthy! This restaurant in California would be almost double what your bill is going to be. There was three people at the table & we ordered four appetizers..... (which was all we really needed)... and everyone agreed 1 out of 10, they gave it a 10!! this restaurant is a must to try when visiting or even if you live in the city! So much good food to eat, but this is by far the best restaurant I've ever been to in New Orleans!

We had a great evening at Katie's. We started off with a drink and charbroiled oysters. They were…read moreamazing. Perfectly broiled with butter, cheese, garlic and delicious We also had the seafood stuff mushrooms which were great. The crawfish beignet a large portion. All perfect for sharing. Lastly the redfish topped with lump crabmeat and fresh vegetables. Lively crowd of all ages. The only issue was that the restaurant did not have our reservation made with Yelp. But the greeter was so kind, asked it was with Yelp and she did say they are experiencing issues. She cleared a table and we were seated quickly. (I do have the yelp confirmation, btw). This was our 4th time there and very good to great each time.

We were greeted immediately, by friendly staff, who helped us with the kiosk ordering system and delivered our food to the table surprisingly fast. Great burger. HOT fries. If you're not into SPICY, you can order the fries sans heat. We asked for ranch dressing and they were perfect, for us. 4:00 in the afternoon- so we were the only customers, but the place was very well appointed and will have a very nice atmosphere, when they are rockin' it. Give them a try. I'm sure we'll hit them up again, before we leave town.

I'm glad I gave it another shot because this place was worth the return trip. The vibe immediately transports you to the Caribbean with colorful decor, island music, and a fun atmosphere. My foodie friend and I started with a couple of cocktails: the Caribbean Rum Punch and the Passion Fruit Piña Colada. Both were strong, refreshing, and definitely not shy on the rum. For appetizers, we ordered the Dominican Ribs, glazed with sweet chili, ginger, and soy. These disappeared fast and easily became one of my favorite bites of the night. I would come back just for the ribs alone! For entrées, we shared: Zydeco Redfish - Cajun grilled redfish topped with fried shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes, Creole reduction, and veggies. The red fish was cooked perfectly and was the standout dish for me. Island Ribeye - A 13oz ribeye marinated in pineapple ginger soy, served with whipped sweet potatoes and pistachios. Great flavor with a nice island twist. And of course, we had to get a side of fried plantains because you can never go wrong with plantains. Great food, strong drinks, and a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to check out their happy hour soon. Tonylameats Approved
