Rare CTCruiser001 Posted March 11, 2023 Author #26 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Here at GW Fins they change their menu nightly to what they pulled from the sea in the morning...Can't get much fresher than that! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CTCruiser001 Posted March 11, 2023 Author #27 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Dinner. Was. Amazing!!! OMG!!! The DW and I spilt two appetizers, the Lobster Dumplings and the Barbeque Shrimp. So good!!! For dinner the DW chose the Herb Crusted Flounder while I had the Scalibit, a Halibut base with caramelized Scallops over Shrimp Risotto - It was excellent...But not the star of the show... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CTCruiser001 Posted March 11, 2023 Author #28 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) The star of tonight's dinner was the dessert! We were so full from everything else that we chose to share a dessert - The Salty Malty Ice Cream Pie. This was INSANELY good!!! We started by saying we'd only have a few bites each...But before we knew it, we were fighting to lick the plate!!! 🤣🤣🤣 GW Fins hit it out of the park tonight! From the friendly banter with the Hostess, to the drinks at the bar pre-dinner while waiting for our seating, to the helpful attentive waitstaff that rotated while keeping our waters full and empty plates cleared...A wonderful start of vacation tonight. 😀 Edited March 11, 2023 by CTCruiser001 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole meal was amazing. I would definitely recommend GW Fins for any NOLA travelers to enjoy a lovely dinner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CTCruiser001 Posted March 11, 2023 Author #38 Share Posted March 11, 2023 A ten minute walk from our hotel, we decided on Cafe Du Monde...A bit of a tourist trap, but we've never been and wanted to try it. The long line moved fairly quickly, and we got our sustenance on! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKR2011 Posted March 11, 2023 #39 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I remember your other reviews being great, and this one is already fabulous! Thank you so much for taking us along. I'm excited to follow. Wishing you an amazing vacation ❤️⚓️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CTCruiser001 Posted March 11, 2023 Author #40 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Quick comment...Cafe Du Monde is cash only! So many people didn't know this in line and had to seek nearby ATMs. I was surprised the proprietors of this store didn't have an ATM readily available...Losing out on potential surcharge income! A goldmine!! Edited March 11, 2023 by CTCruiser001 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CTCruiser001 Posted March 11, 2023 Author #42 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Scoping out the French Market...Lots of cool little nick-nacks...Some interesting food choices too. If only we didn't just eat a little while ago! Gator on a Stick looks interesting! 🐊 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CTCruiser001 Posted March 11, 2023 Author #44 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Took a quick walk down to Frenchman Street...Hmm, the smell of warm piss fills the nostrils swiftly...We had planned to come here tonight and visit some of the Jazz Clubs, but now we are nixing that idea. Hanging out at Washington Square Park watching the locals playing with their kids and pups. Hmm...I smell Wacky Tobacky...🎺🎷🐕🌳 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A goldmine!! Also a side note...there are 2 lines that form. The one on the outside of the location is for table service, and on the back side of the location is for the to go line. It is not noted anywhere. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnLog Posted March 11, 2023 #47 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Thanks so much for doing this! We’re boarding the Breakaway next week and are looking forward to seeing some up to date information. And although I already have a mile long list of New Orleans restaurants we want to try while we’re there, now I’m going to have to add GW Fins too. That looked amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Café Beignet is wonderful as well and less tourist trap feeling... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GALSews Posted March 11, 2023 #49 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I'm here at home in Maryland. I just sent a note to my hubby who is just outside NOLA for a few days suggesting that he try GW Fins based on your photos. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaning towards going somewhere with small plates so we can try a bunch of New Orleans flavors. Unsure just where to go yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
