GW Fins is the French Quarter's premier destination for serious, chef-driven seafood that goes well beyond the typical tourist fare. The menu changes daily based on what's freshest, and the wood-grilled fish preparations are consistently outstanding. The lobster dumplings and sizzling oysters are beloved starters. It's a polished, grown-up room that delivers reliably excellent food without the pretension of some fine-dining spots.
