Felix's Restaurant & Oyster Bar

We came to this location for the happy hour deals on the oysters and had a really great time! $1 oysters or $1.50 chargrilled oysters. The food here is very delicious, the rooftop area is very nice overlooking the water, and the service is excellent. We tried the bread pudding and it was also very good.

We arrived on time for our reservation and waited 15-20 minutes to be seated, despite several tables being empty. Service was fairly inattentive but our waiters were friendly. Oysters Rockefeller and Raw Oysters were good, but they reuse shells so some shells seemed old and crumbled a bit in my mouth. Gumbo was good but the jambalaya was SO SALTY and not seasoned otherwise. Bread pudding was good but it's hard to mess up that dish. Despite being a waterfront restaurant, Felix's feels much more like a sports bar with more real estate, that just happens to serve food. I wouldn't come back for a dinner with family or friends.

I was excited to try Felix's since it was mentioned by multiple people on social media. The place was very nice and clean, we were seated right away. Food was great! We got the char-grilled oysters, jambalaya pasta, and the soup trio. Although the food was great, we noticed some staff members were moody and inattentive (I understand bad days but we can see it on their faces but we did not have problems with our waitress). Overall good experience

Love Felix's! The most recent time I went, the Seared Tuna Salad was eh...I probably wouldn't order again, but this spot still has a great atmosphere and vibe!

Amazing food! Every time I order the oysters are great. Atmospheres is nice to sit by the water and listen to a band that is normally playing on the weekend. Service is ok but they normally are packed for the band. The bands are always super loud also so I would recommend sitting by the water instead of under the overhang so you can talk to who you are with.

Came here for my birthday and loved it. We sat outside and enjoyed everything we ordered. Definitely coming back for my next visit!!

I missed it last trip, but upon many peoples' recommendation, I got out to Felix's last night. I went to the location right on the lake as opposed to dealing with parking and stuff in the quarter, and I'm happy I did because the view was downright beautiful. Had dinner on the deck and just enjoyed the scenery. Started off naturally with the charbroiled oysters. I came here with the intention of comparing these to places like Drago's, Acme, Don's, etc but I don't feel I can do that in good conscience. These are prepared differently and give almost the feeling of eating a clams oreganata. They have seasoned bread crumb overtop as where most I've had are more of a garlic butter and blend of cheeses melted over them. With that said, these were fantastic. The oysters themselves were super fresh and not tough or chewy at all, and the topping was seasoned well and added a different depth to the dish. Better or worse, no matter your opinion, they were awesome. I also got the seafood platter which came with breaded and fried fish, oysters, and shrimp with sides of hush puppies, fries, and cole slaw. All of the seafood was very good and I enjoyed the flavor of the breading. The hush puppies were good but not the best I've had. The Cole slaw was good but also not great. And unfortunately the fries were super heavily dusted with seasoning and really salty. I ate a few just to make sure they were all that way and I didn't just get a random errant fry...but it was the batch. Their old fashioned was right up there with some of the best I've had in Nola as well. Very enjoyable meal, and I'd definitely go back again.

Considering they appeared to be pretty busy, we were greeted and seated pretty fast. We requested an outdoor table since the weather was so beautiful. The waitress quickly came and took our drink order. I ordered a lemon drop which was not good at all. I tasted more artificial lemon juice/concentrate than anything, with cheap vodka and no sugary rim. I expressed my concern to the waitress and she removed it, sitting it on a used table behind us and got me a glass of wine. We ordered a dozen of raw oysters which were a nice size and tasty, and I had fish tacos while my boyfriend had the shrimp and fish platter with coleslaw and fries. We finished up sharing a piece of key lime pie and I had a second glass of wine. My boyfriend stuck with water. The bill with taxes and gratuity for the 2 of us for a shared appetizer, 2 entrees, 2 glasses of wine, and a shared dessert was about $135 which included a 22% gratuity.We eat out often so we're not opposed to paying for good food and service, however we've eaten at far more exclusive restaurants for dinner with more food and/or people and didn't pay this much. Keep in mind, this was a Friday during lunch time. I think for the food quality, service, and environment, the food is very much overpriced. Not to mention that the fish selection that was on the platter and the tacos was sway which is one of the most bottom feeding and cheap fish to buy. Lastly, we were forced to dine next to people with their dogs. I don't think restaurants are a place for animals. It's unsanitary and people also may have allergies towards them. Unless it's a seeing eye dog or a registered service dog, I don't think they should be permitted. I'm not sure if I'd return or not, but certainly would not be my first choice.

I am always a fan of Felix's. Today, surpassed ALL past visits....THE OYSTERS! The char-grilled oysters came to the table still bubbling! The size was definitely "something to write home about." I didn't even take the few seconds to add the lemon. These, are what I will now compare all other oysters to. Salty, buttery, savory....perfection.

We were blown away by how amazing everything tasted! Of course we ordered char grilled oysters, gato bites, and some raw oysters. The pasta dish we ordered was very delicious. The food was so good that we didn't even have any leftovers. Service was fun and friendly and the view from the outdoor seating was awesome, being so close to the water. This location is better than the one in downtown, unless you want to go to the original spot for nostalgia and long wait times.
