Desi Vega's Steakhouse

My dinner experience at Desi Vegas Steakhouse was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch and the atmosphere was upscale yet gave you that local New Orleans home-y feel. It's a beautiful restaurant!We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes with Crab Meat and, they were AMAZING! The combination of crispy, tangy, and sweet was absolute perfection.For our main courses, we ordered the Fillet and the Porterhouse for Two. Both steaks were cooked to perfection and were incredibly tender and flavorful. The Porterhouse was particularly impressive.We also ordered the Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes as sides, and both were delicious. The sprouts were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the potatoes were creamy and rich.We finished with the crème brûlée, which was smooth and delicious. The crispy sugar top was perfect. It was a great way to end our meal.Overall, our dinner at Desi Vegas Steakhouse was outstanding. Every dish was expertly prepared and presented, and the service was attentive and knowledgeable. If you're a steak lover like me, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Desi Vegas. You won't be disappointed!

My wife and I were visiting from NYC, so we're quite familiar with steakhouses.**Positives:**- Great decor.- Excellent hospitality.- Our waitress, Catherine, was exceptional! She accommodated all our needs, explained the menu very well, and maintained a high level of professionalism.- I highly recommend the ribeye steak with bone marrow butter.**Negatives:**Despite the positive aspects, I would have given this place a five-star rating; however, the assistant waiter, Kevin, was the complete opposite of Catherine. His service was overbearing and intrusive. We left the restaurant feeling offended after he made a stereotypical remark about my clothing, saying, "Yo Yo Yo," accompanied by hip-hop colloquialisms. Regardless of his attempted humor, I found his comment extremely distasteful and unprofessional. Just because my wife and I are African American does not mean we subscribe to that type of banter. Cultural sensitivity and professionalism should be upheld by all service staff.

Good food, good service. Sat at the bar; had bacon wrapped shrimp; I asked for no sauce, but came out with it. In good fashion; they took it back and tried again; and they were amazing. Would definitely order again! (And no sauce for me!) Drinks were super good; I tried a myriad of them; all real good.

Desi Vega's is my neighborhood steakhouse. The restaurant is very chic and romantic. It's the perfect place for a date. My favorite thing about Desi Vega's is the bar. They have the cutest cocktails that are very affordable during happy hour. My favorite is the French 504. They have the friendliest staff in the entire Central Business District.

Wow! 5 star service all the way. We came for a work event I had the filet with blue cheese crust others had the ribeye and fish. I had the wedge salad for starters which was perfection and we shared the Mac n cheese, asparagus and mashed potatoes. I would highly suggest you treat yourself to an incredible meal.

We came here for an early dinner and generally everything was okay. It's a very comfortable environment. Nothing formal and the steak was cooked perfectly. We love the dessert. Service was on par for the course. The building a history is great. I would definitely come again. It's a good change of pace from a chain steakhouse restaurant.

Wow! I believe this is one of the top steakhouses in New Orleans. We had one of the best dining experiences ever, celebrating my aunt's birthday here. The wine selection was fantastic, featuring Orwin Swift wines, one of my personal favorites.We started with the bread basket and sizzling crab cakes, which were hands down the best we had in the city. After being disappointed by crab cakes at other places, these were a standout--crispy on the outside, full of beautiful crab meat on the inside, and the sizzling plate added a fantastic flavor and finish.All three of us ordered the filet mignon, each at different temperatures, and every one was cooked to perfection. The steaks had a perfect char on the outside. I ordered mine medium, and it was spot on--crisp edges with a flavorful exterior and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness inside.We also shared the Lyonnaise potatoes, mashed potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. All were delicious! The Brussels sprouts were on the crispier side, which we loved, but if you're not into that, you may want to try something else.For my aunt's birthday, they brought out a beautiful dessert plate, but what made the experience even more special was the attention to detail. From check-in to when we left, nearly every server and bartender wished her a happy birthday. They really made us feel incredibly special, and we were so grateful for the thoughtful service.The inside is gorgeous. It feels very New Orleans "chic". This is definitely upscale and many i were dressed up. One quick tip--if you're walking from the French Quarter, it may seem like a short, easy stroll, but the sidewalks and streets are rough to walk on, especially in heels. By the time we arrived, our makeup was melting, and we were sweating! This is no fault of the restaurant, of course--just a heads-up for future visitors.

Had the pleasure of dining with my family here for New Years Eve and it was very pleasant. From the menu choices, holiday cocktails to the servers. The petite filet was cooked to perfection, the surf & turf was mouth watering and the lamb chops were juicy & tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed the night.

This was the best experience from start to finish! We received exceptional service from Dennis; he was on top of everything and made great recommendations. The manager, Tank, was kind enough to bring me some extra meatballs when I wanted to purchase some to-go because they were so good. We literally didn't have one thing we didn't enjoy. The food was piping hot and full of flavor. Here are my ratings of everything we had:   * Braised Pork Belly - 10/10  * Seafood Au Gratin - 10/10 * Who Dat Shrimp - 9/10 * Mixed Grill - 8/10 * Gulf Fish of The Day (Redfish) - 9/10  * Marinated Roasted Chicken Breast (Oscar Style) - 9/10 * Mac & Cheese - 10/10 * Brussels Sprouts 10/10 * Sweet Mashed Potato Souffle 8/10  * Birthday Brownie 10/10  Pretty high ratings across the board, everything was simply delicious. Next time I'm in the city, I will def be back.

My husband and I recently dined at Desi Vega's, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.I started with a Lemon Drop Martini, which was expertly crafted and the perfect balance of sweet and tart. For appetizers, we shared the Fried Green Tomatoes with Lump Crab Meat and the Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp. Both were incredibly delicious; the fried green tomatoes were crispy and paired beautifully with the fresh, flavorful crab meat, while the bacon-wrapped shrimp were savory and perfectly cooked.For my main course, I had the Red Fish covered with Crabmeat, accompanied by steamed vegetables. The red fish was cooked to perfection and the generous topping of crab meat added a wonderful richness. The vegetables were fresh and well-seasoned, complementing the dish nicely. My husband opted for a steak with Crawfish Mac & Cheese, and he was thoroughly impressed. The steak was tender and cooked just right, and the Crawfish Mac & Cheese was creamy and packed with flavor.The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who made sure our dining experience was memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant yet welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a special night out.Overall, Desi Vega's exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend it and will definitely be returning for another exceptional meal.
