New Orleans Seafood & Steakhouse

The sea bass is AMAZING, so is the steak, my boyfriend had. Really good! Highly recommend !

This place is amazing. I forgot to write a review as I promised myself I would… 3 yrs and 15+ visits later I’m now remembering to do so!
Our most recent sitting was NYE, what can I say… It was incredible, as always. My below reviews, I can say with certainty has been the same for all of my visits.
Food– 5 stars– freaking awesome! Menu stays the same (thank god) and I don’t think ice had such consistent great food. I’ve tried almost everything on their menu and they are all great but my favourites are (calamari, fisherman platter and the sea bass)
Service– 5 stars– simple but amazing. Small family restaurant, we have had the same server Mike (owner) almost every visit, the other times was his son. His wife is the head chef and she is phenomenal.
Value– 5 stars. I have never, EVER felt that I’m not getting a great value here. Prices for the portions and quality of what you get is very fair.
Ambiance– ¾ stars– Love the location, great resto outside of Toronto. Easy to park and get to. It is a nice place and a good environment but it’s good. The ambiance is simple and clean but nothing too fancy If you want a romantic setting for a special occasion this may not be the best but it’s a great place for as date night etc.
I would love to see this place extend generations so we can always continue to enjoy this place forever.

Very cozy and intimate atmosphere. Service was superb, very personal, timely and extremely pleasant. The food though is on a different level. There was 6 of us and I tried a little of everyone’s dishes. I got the fresh fish of the day which was sea bass and pretty much melted in my mouth! I also tried the fisherman’s plate (amazing), the vegetable creole pasta (vegan friendly and good), chicken creole pasta (also good), shrimp creole (awesome), black angus steak (med rare and delicious). We also shared crab cakes, monticello salad and seafood gumbo (great kick to it). All of the appetizers were all absolutely amazing. Every single plate, appetizers and mains were practically licked clean! I can not wait to go back here. I am salivating just writing this review! Highly recommended mainly for the food but also for the wonderful atmosphere and very personable owner who makes the experience very special. Can’t say much to deserts as everyone except for the 12 year old at the table was just so perfectly full and didn’t want to top it off with desert.
Not to mention that I actually accidentally made the reservation for after they usually close and they didn’t even mention it and were still very happy to serve us. I eat late often but in the suburbs and it’s extremely rare that places will stay open just for us. It’s always a pleasant surprise when they do!

I can’t seem to understand how I pass by this place every day on my commute, and only today decide to eat here.
The interior of the restaurant is unexpectedly gorgeous. Jazz music played as we entered– it was great. We didn’t have a reservation but were seated immediately.
I ordered the salmon special and my guy got the seafood pasta. Our waitress was sweet and friendly. Fresh bread was delivered soon after. The bread was warm and wonderfully crispy! But it was served with margarine. That was disappointing.
The food arrived shortly. The salmon was served with rice and beautiful roasted vegetables. The salmon was cooked perfectly inside, and was blackened the way I love it. My guy’s pasta was enjoyed as well, and it was a memorable meal for the both of us. We also ordered a crème caramel, and it was delicious!
We had a great intimate evening at this restaurant. I would love to come back some time. Definitely would recommend New Orleans Seafood and Steakhouse for a romantic dinner or an intimate gathering with close family and friends.

I now know why everyone have rated this restuarant 5 stars. Food was beyond excellent as it came hand and hand with the above and beyond excellent service. We came here for a casual dinner to try out as we were in the area and it surpassed our expectation 200%. In fact I don’t think I even wrote a review for G. R. in Vegas! We will be sure to recommend this restuarant to everyone we know.. What a hidden gem!!! We also had the pleasure of meeting the chef who was also very humble. It’s rare to see these days. Excellent, Excellent food complimented by Excellent, Excellent Service!!! See you again soon!
Sonia and Chris.
P. S. We will be checking website often for new menu items.. Wink wink!

Amazing southern food that tastes extremely fresh and like perfect home cooking.
I went on a Wednesday evening around 8 and it was about half full. I had made a reservation, so it was fine. The staff were extremely kindly and you could tell they actually cared about whether you were having a good time/​meal.
I had the gumbo and it was extremely. Possibly a little too spicy for my liking, but that completely a personal preference and I’m sure others love that amount of spice. I then had the shrimp dinner with rice. It was amazing and the shrimp were soaked in this perfect sauce. The vegetables were also great.
I ended up staying a little late and a lot of the other guests had already left, but the manager (possibly owner) was nice enough to let us stay and told us to not feel pressured to leave. He was also kind enough to give us this desert liquor which was a very nice touch on his part.
If the food itself doesn’t win you over, (which it should) then the service definitely does.
The atmosphere also really completed the whole setting.
The final bill was around $ 95 + tip for two glasses of wine, two apps and two dinners. Definitely worth it considering everything you get.

I gave this a 4 because it doesn’t deserve a perfect review for a few reasons (I’ll get to that soon enough).
The good:
–some of the best crab cakes I’ve had in the city
–it comes off as a family run business with extremely nice staff
–you will hear «thank you, I like, I like» when you finish your plate
–the food is delicious and the presentation is lovely
–survived in a quiet suburban plaza hidden from everyone and everything.
Why it didn’t get a 5:
–it’s hidden in a quiet suburban plaza hidden from everyone and everything
–it’s expensive (but the food is great)
–I walked & drove by it numerous times before going in… I used to argue with my wife about it being a drug cover up because there was «no way anyone is going to come and eat southern food here»
It turned out to be a hidden gem

Excellent meal this evening at New Orleans Steak and Seafood. I’ve been meaning to come by here the past year after I heard rave reviews from some friends. This weekend I decided I would take my partner here for his birthday and we were not disappointed. I made a reservation for 6pm and when we arrived the small restaurant was pretty much full. We were seated by the window and had no less than three servers ask us what we wanted for drinks. This could be seen as disorganized but we found it charmingly overserviced. My partner had seafood gumbo to start and as I was having the fisherman’s platter as my main course (which looked pretty generous), I simply enjoyed the warm bread while he happily tucked into his piping hot bowl of gumbo. We both loved our meals. My platter was a delightful combination of coconut shrimp, cajun calamari, blackened fish, rice and grilled vegetables while my partner enjoyed a good sized portion of seafood penne pasta. We had a few glasses of wine and skipped dessert because we were so full. The owner or manager of the restaurant was doing the rounds as people were finishing their meals and he brought us a lovely dessert drink in a shot glass on the house. This exemplified the service we had all evening and was a perfect ending to a great cajun meal.

Awesome creole seafood and steaks. The service is outstanding with several waitresses and waiters working the dining room constantly. My seafood creole pasta was great as was the seafood gumbo.

What a hidden gem! Came here with my husband for my birthday and what a pleasant surprise. We had made reservation for 6:30pm but arrived half hour early at 6pm — owner Mike was there to welcome us and seated us right away in the small but intimate dining room. The trees in the dining room adds open air feel and almost feel like we were in an open courtyard.
Can I say how amazing the bread was? They were warm, crispy on the ouside, airy and soft on the inside. We didn’t arrive too hungry but we downed the bread in no time! We went with the specials of the day crab cake and paired with calamarie for appertizer. The appetiziers came out beautifully split with salad wrapped in cucumber for me and my husband. The food were delicious and perfectly cooked — seafood were fresh and juicy (never the rubbery taste) and beautifully plated. We shared the Jambalaya for two — this could easily feed 6 people if you ordered appetiziers. This was the best Jambalaya we’ve ever had. It was perfectly seasoned and filled with meat/​sausage/​fish and less than half is rice, unlike places that fill you up on rice. All the ingredients tasted very fresh and perfectly cooked. Chicken was soft and juicy, fish was soft and tender, mussles were great and crawfish were delish.
During appertizer, my husband had spoken to Mike about my birthday and we were treated with caramel flan with fresh berries and candle. Mike also brought out a shot for each of us — perhaps sweet brandy — and congratulated us.
The service was attentive and we occasionally got the «I’m very happy you emptied the plate» from Mike. Mike is the most friendly host we’ve ever met — he is open to talk about anything, and we noticed he happily accomodated many diet «restrictions”/demands from a few other tables. He checked up on us at perfect increments to ensure we were comfortable, food were fine, and that we were well attended to and are having a great time. Mike even walked us out and opened the door for us when we were leaving — truly an unforgettable experience.
Note: parking lot is very small and limited due to this is in a small plaza beside park/​residential buildings. You can easily find free parkings on the streets behind the restaurant.

The service here is incredible. I dropped in one evening with my wife and kids. Despite being booked solid, they got us a table (we just had to be out before the next reservation, which was fine). Food was great. A little too spicy for our kids, but they did okay. The owner even treated them to ice cream for being well behaved.
Wonderfully cozy atmosphere, staff always attentive but not overbearing. Definitely easy to recommend this place.

Had dinner here last night with the boyfriend last night and I have to say first and foremost that it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. I read some reviews beforehand and made sure to make reservations since I had heard the restaurant is not very big. Please do this, as this is correct — the restaurant is very busy and it would definitely be difficult to get a table if you were to drop-​in.
As soon as we arrived we were greeted warmly and taken to our table. The servers were very attentive and the waitstaff chatted with all the patrons throughout the night — it really showed that they cared about their customers.
We decided on the Jambalaya for Two and had wine to keep us company in the meantime. The décor was very quaint and the ambiance of the restaurant was very warm and relaxing. Jazz-​related decorations were everywhere on the walls (Billie Holiday paintings, saxophones) and the restaurant played Jazz all throughout the night.
The food arrived in exactly 30 minutes as promised. The amount of food was definitely enough for two people to eat and be very full at the end. The flavours were bold and the jambalaya was chock full of sausages and seadfood (mussels, crawfish, shrimp, and grouper) — no skimping on the meat at all. It was very delicious and we will definitely be coming back in the future. Though it can be a bit on the pricey side, I would highly recommend this restaurant.

One word: Amazing!
Funny story how we came across this place: We were looking for a late dinner and I was in the mood for some southern Creole food! Unilocal directed us here and we arrived around 10. Turns out they close at 10! So we had to go somewhere else but we promised we would be back! The very next day in fact! Customer service here is no joke! They know how to treat the customers and are extremely friendly! Customer Service like this is hard to find these days
Our appetizers were Crab Cakes and Gumbo Yaya. My boyfriend said the crab cake was good and I did try a bite, which happened to be the first time ever having crab! My gumbo though was delicious! The type Meema makes you on a cold day to warm up your soul. This is exactly what it did! Warmed my soul up and it was the right amount of spice and flavour. Made my palette dance with every single bite! Beware though, it’s a big portion for an appetizer.
Our mains were equally as good. My boyfriend had ordered the Sea Bass special and I went with the chicken. I was told the Sea bass was tender and my chicken was tender as well. All in all, good flavour however I could do more spice on the chicken.
After we had asked for the bill, one of the gentlemen came up with a free shot of something that tasted exactly like junior mints. Yummy! My final verdict? You must come here! Don’t be thrown off by the location because the food is epic. We will be back for sure!

I’m so glad I found this place! I was searching through the internet, looking for a nice spot to eat that wasn’t downtown and wasn’t a chain restaurant. I ended up looking on trip advisor and saw that it was #10 our of 6700 in Toronto, so I thought I might as well try it out!
Don’t let the area fool you either, it is a sketchy area but YOU HAVE to have the food here, it’s amazing. The parking lot is very small, since it is in a tiny plaza there is minimal parking, but we got one and I’m sure if it was full we would have found one on the street (since this isn’t downtown).
Anyways getting to the food.
They brought us some HOT bread which held us down until our appetizers came.
For an appetizer my bf and I shared the Cajun Calamari. They ended up splitting it up for us and we both had a nice presentation right in front of us. The calamari was so good and it came with a salad which was also delicious.
To the main course now. My BF had the blackened Chicken breast, and I had the seafood creole pasta! I didn’t try his but it looked delicious and he said it was great. My pasta was so gooddd! Not your ordinary pasta. It had great flavours, they put a lot of seafood and fish in it, not like those big chain restaurants that say its a seafood pasta and you end up with 2 shrimp and a mussel. Its just so good you have to try it out. I cant wait to go back.

Friends told us about this place. It is indeed worth the trip. Do not be fooled from the outside: does not seem to be a nice place. Inside is nice and quiet. I ordered the blacken fish and my husband ordered the beef tenderloin. They both are cooked with perfection. The pepper sauce for beef tenderloin is to die for.
We are definitely coming back again.

What a find! I heard about this place, and finally made it a point to reserve dinner here. Here are a few points…
1. The food is more seafood than steaks. I had a gumbo and a shrimp jambalaya that were delicious. I also shared a crab cake appetizer that was definitely better than most.
2. Service is excellent though it can be spread thin at times.
3. The vibe is both relaxed and anti-​hipster. Everyone here was taking their time enjoying their meals and talking with friends an family. The restaurant seemed to welcome long family conversations and another glass of wine. No one is rushed here.
4. Thick carpet, upholstered chairs, a large artificial tree, and paintings of jazz musicians fill the space. It is tasteful, but by no means cool!
5. They have amazing food, great wines, and excellent service. If you are looking to have a nice meal in a more low key spot, this is it.

My fiancé and i found this resto based on reviews from trip advisor. Everything we have tried on the menu is mouth watering from the fresh seafood to the tenderloin. The owner is always great and makes you feel at home. Definitely a must try (and i have eaten at michelin star restos)

Just tried booking at our favourite restaurant for an early New Year’s Eve dinner. I guess word has gotten out about New Orleans and Mike! I am really sorry we didn’t plan ahead! Never once have I been disappointed in this restaurant and I have been coming since Before mike moved to Oakville. Have to agree with an earlier review of the beef tenderloin — my favourite. But my fish loving friends never have anything but praise for New Orleans.
Happy New Year

An amazing find and incredible flavor. Presentation was great, Quality was 5 Star, Service Impeccable. They were attentive, had a nice wine selection and provided a fine dining experience.
I will be returning and I highly recommend the little gem!

What a great little restaurant. The food is always amazing and the ambiance as Daria mentioned below is wonderful.
I had the beef tenderloin and it was one of the best meals I can remember having in a long time. The beef practically melted in my mouth. I also had the crab cakes appetizer and usually I’m not one for crab cakes because they taste too fishy but these ones were so flavourful and you could tell everything was made fresh.
They aren’t afraid of putting shrimp in your shrimp pasta, and the vegetables are all cooked to perfection. The owner, Michael, is very attentive and makes you feel like you’re welcome and appreciated. It almost makes me sad that more people don’t know about this awesome eatery!
