The best oysters in NOLA are at Desires! Such a great time sitting at the oyster bar when Kentrell is working. He demonstrates such classic New Orleans service and hospitality while making the best chargrilled oysters! A lot of people were talking about how the...More
Thank you for your feed back, I will ensure that the right personnel is aware of what items our return guests are asking for and see what can be done!
Both the raw and char grilled oysters were top notch and Kentrell and Eric were very attentive servers! Thanks again!
Thank you for your review! Our oysters chef loved to keep guests entertained!
We were lucky to have gone early. Or else you have to queue up for table. And, the other benefit to go early is to enjoy their oysters at happy hour price at USD1/pc.
Yes, you are right, the earlier the better as our Happy Hour Prices are amazing. Not only on oysters but we have drink specials as well. Thanks for posting!
I ate breakfast here three days in a row. The food is inconsistent, but never bad. Just a bit different each day.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate you coming in three days in a row, as we know there are many options for you to choose from in the area. We appreciate your review and will strive for consistency.
My husband and I sat at the bar and had shrimp and grits and red beans and rice. Both were very good. The service was not great, especially when they found out we weren't having oysters but I would still recommend it for the food.

We were lucky enough to get "KIKI" for our waitress. Not only were her dinner suggestions perfect but the timing and delivery of the food and drinks made the whole experiencejust wonderful. She was professional and delightful! And yes the raw oysters were amasing.
We are so glad you had a great night at Desire! Thank you for your kind words and we will make sure to let Kiki know that she made your night a great one! Thank You!
A great bar for oysters, seafood and a range of other bar snacks/food. Nice atmosphere and you can watch the oysters being prepared at the bar. Great service.
Thank you for your review! We appreciate it!
If you're an oyster lover, this is your place. We had an amazing dinner here: scrumptious oysters in a variety of styles with a competent etouffee. I wanted to keep eating everything was so delicious. Their bar tenders, too, are masters. Our next time in...More
Thank you for your review! We look forward to seeing upon your next visit!
We were staying at the Royal Sonesta where Desire is located and it was raining so we decided to give it a try. My husband and I split the seafood platter and it was plenty of food and extremely well prepared. Service was attentive without...More
