Desi Vega's Steakhouse

Reserved a table for 2, even with reservations we still had to wait. Once seated it took a while for someone to acknowledge our table, a good 12 minutes. Once I server, Mona Lisa came she was very delightful & attentive. We ordered the fried green tomatoes with crab on top, Barbecue shrimp, Caesar salad with grilled shrimp, petite filet and macaroni and cheese. Everything was just okay, basic steakhouse food. The shrimp and tomatoes came out not hot at all, but still edible. I probably won’t be returning, they need to learn how to accommodate the crowds, wait time and food time.

Desi Vega’s was one of the best date nights we’ve had in a while! Service was 10/10. They did small things like present all the plates at the same time or unfold our napkins to put in our laps for us. Every single person told my wife happy birthday (since we put that in our reservation notes). Ambiance was very dark / moody. Perfect for a date night. And the food was amazing. Who Dat Shrimp - a “Must Get”. It was a bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with crab meat. The sauce that came with it was great. Hearts of Lettuce - a classic wedge salad. We told them we were going to split this, so they pre-split it on 2 plates. Porterhouse for Two - if you have a couple that both wants steak and likes it cooked the same way, then do this. It’s plenty of meat for 2 people (we even had leftovers), plus it was delicious! Onion rings - thin cut onion rings were delicious. We were pretty full at this point (so didn’t eat many of them), but took them home as leftovers. Drinks - we each got a cocktail. Their cocktail menu was pretty much classic cocktails with a slight twist. They also gave us a free dessert for my wife’s birthday! Overall, this was delicious. Probably the best steak dinner we’ve had in New Orleans.

Some of the highest quality food. Excellent service. This is a great place to go for a special occasion. The fried oyster salad was incredible. Turtle soup was very good. Brussel sprouts were amazing. Mashed potatoes were a perfect consistency and delightfully herby. The cook on the steak was excellent. Meats were seasoned well. If you have not been here, then you need to try it.

Desi Vega on St. Charles Avenue has to be one of the best steakhouses anywhere. Very consistent, always good! The steaks are great and large enough to share. The soups and salads, accompaniments are all fantastic. I have never had anything here that was not very good. The service is always excellent. Finally the desserts are all fabulous. You will not regret giving Desi Vega a try.
