Fodor's Review:

Seafood is the quarry of many a New Orleans visitor, and GW Fins meets the demand with variety and quality, ranging from gumbos to Australian spanner crabs. A bounty of fish species from around the world is among the menu's lures. Chef Tenney Flynn's menu changes daily, depending on what fresh seafood is delivered, but typical dishes have included a luscious riff on bouillabaisse, sea bass in a hot-and-sour shrimp stock, and impossibly light lobster dumplings. For dessert, try the baked-to-order, deep-dish apple pie. The spacious dining room's attractive modern decor and the enthusiastic service make this a relaxing refuge from the French Quarter's crowds.

The freshest fish ever. Lovely atmosphere. Try the bourbon-banana mashed sweet potatoes!
