We loved the restaurant but the noise level was horrible. It was hard to hear each other talk. The piano player didn’t help

My husband won’t go anywhere else for red fish! I had the LA Cobb salad with shrimp and crab and it was the perfect light supper. Service was great and nice ambience, but it is a little noisy. I highly recommend Red Fish Grill!

We like the whole layout and ambience of this. Desi’s is better than the Covington one although we did like that restaurant. Kendra and Allysa did a great job and very attentive - but as always, this restaurant displays excellent teamwork in all the restaurants. Couldn’t tell you what was different as the steak eater said that it was the best steak that they had ever had and they have had steak all over town and every steakhouse. The steak nachos were excellent and more than enough to share for a table.. yellow Fin tuna interesting presentation but very good! All in all, we are happy that they have the steakhouse there now. I will see that it was very busy very early, so they clearly already have a following.
