Reviews for Drago's Seafood Restaurant - Hilton New Orleans Riverside in New Orleans, LA

I'm in town for the weekend for an event, and my friend and I ate at this restaurant because we we're staying at the Hilton... Riverside. Let me tell you the guys working the grill were on point! Kevin our waiter took our order and he was super nice andprecise! Now watching the guys working the grill was simply amazing! They have it down to a science! Jovan, Raymond and Winsonwas amazing! They commanded the grill! To watch them work, Is like watching a ?well-oiled Machine? do what they do best! Thefood was incredible! Our Oyster Rockefeller was cooked to perfection! I enjoyed my Seafood pasta and my friend had the grilledshrimp pasta that she loved! We ended up getting a box to go, but I highly recommend this spot if you're in the hotel! Read more

We were on our honeymoon and a friend suggested we try this place and get the char-grilled oysters. We did and they were... absolutely amazing! We only ordered 6 and we regretted not getting more. We both got the surf and turf cooked medium. Theywere good but well done. Not a big deal but for the price we thought they would have been on point. We sat at the bar and thestaff was amazing. We never waited long for anything and were served by the entire bar staff, great personalities! I had my goto cocktail, Basil Hayden Old Fashioned and my wife had a Greyhound. Mine was a little too sweet, may have been a house bittersor something though. They didn't have her favorite vodka, Tito's so she ordered it with Absolut. She wasn't a fan of itunfortunately. We will definitely be back for those oysters and great service. Read more

If your dining in New Orleans, this is a wonderful stop for amazing quality food. We had many different dishes and all were... prepared beautifully. Baked oysters are the best I've ever had. I had the gumbo and the ribeye steak as well. Lots of food splitbetween my wife and I but let me tell you it was all delicious. They make some nice cocktails here as well. The atmosphere isgreat as well. Read more

I love this place! The oysters are so bomb and the fried seafood is delicious! The bartender is so funny and he?s always so... sweet! The location is nice because there?s so many places to walk to as well. Even before they opened they had a line of almosttwenty people waiting to sit down and they got them all in extremely fast and with a smile as soon as they opened! Read more

I LOVE THE CHARCOAL OYSTERS. We ordered a lot because we wanted to try them all. We had gator tacos, seafood pasta, lobster Mac... and cheese and gumbo. Lobster Mac and cheese was fantastic. The charcoal oysters smelled really fresh plus the charcoal smellthat was a 10/10. The seafood pasta was above average. It was a safe choice. The gumbo was a disappointment tho, definitelydon?t order gumbo here. Read more

Nice atmosphere for a hotel restaurant. Lively and fairly loud. The centerpiece is the grill where they are charbroiling... oysters. The aroma coming from the grill draws you in. You'll want to get an order of those oysters! The charbroil oysters werethe star of the show here. My baked fish dish was pretty tasty, but it felt like it was missing something. The shrimp pasta wasflavorful and a large portion. Well worth the price. Service was good and attentive. Read more

Drago's is known for their charbroiled oysters and let me tell you they did not disappoint. These oysters melt in your mouth. I... called my niece and told her I was bringing her back from NY with me next time to just come here to eat oysters all day. Thebone-in rib eye steak is so dang good too. The stuffed shrimp and pasta was amazing. Overall we had a great experience. In thebeginning there was a little hiccup with our table, but otherwise a great dining experience. The manager met with us on our wayout and she was delightful to meet. For the life of me I can't remember our waiters name but he gave awesome suggestions on foodselection and was just an overall nice guy. Can't wait to go back. Read more
