What People Are Saying About Redfish A Creole Bistro
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Under Chef Gregg Herndon, Creole-accented Redfish has cred. The casual space has undressed dark wooden tables and low lighting--and no visible Mardi Gras beads. The spicy crawfish and shrimp Cajun pate and lightly breaded fried oysters swiped in piquant remoulade are excellent starters, as is the okra-studded gumbo. The signature redfish is a succulent pan-seared filet, served with horseradish mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. The peanut butter mousse pie is a silky finish.

Understaffed and sub-par
by BPJ
8pm reservation....9pm finally seated. Food wasn't good enough to make up for poor service. Shrimp and grits were tasty, but the long wait and lack of attention from our waiter left us with a bitter taste in our mouths.
- Pros: Nice shrimp and grits
- Cons: Long wait, poor service

Good food, strange atmosphere...
by lettereleven
I really have nothing to complain about regarding the food at Redfish, but I do have to ask what's up with the decor and dinner music they've chosen? We ate pan-fried catfish with awesome, fresh green beans and etouffee much better than Depot's (which I've visited recently too), and darn good rum-currant bread pudding on our visit...and apparently listened to XM"s 80's top 40 channel while we ate. So strange and really kind of funny, actually. The decor had a similar recently post-disco chintz to it that reminds me of a place my midwestern parents might think of as "fine dining" in their one-stoplight town. Weird for a new orleans style place that could have, really, gone with any number of a pretty wide swath of southern charming decor. But, whatever. It is a restaurant, and the food and service were good. Actually, so was singing ancient U2 while I drank my wine.
- Pros: Good southern food.
- Cons: Weird 80's-esque decor.

by Charles55
me and my lady left a venue in east atlanta.... we were hungry but wanted something diffferent.... I heard about this restauarant from friends... so i plugged it into my gps system and stopped by.... on the outside, it doesnt look like a restaurant... it kind of favors an old cornerstore with a patio... we walked inside and found the place romantically lit with candles and warm colors.... i immediately fell in love with the place... the manager greeted us at the door and very nice hostess walked us to our table... we sat in the aquarium portion of the restaurant... the servers were great!!! our drinks were never empty.... so, we decided to get an appetizer... the creole shrimp and grits.... GREAT!!! it was like having a theme park in my mouth.... great flavors... our food was very good... i got the 3 pepper catfish with red beans and rice with cucumber cole slaw.... great!!! my lady got the pan fried chicken with greens and red beans and rice!!! overall a great place to go!!! great food, service and people!!! next time, im bringing the entire family with me!!!!
- Pros: great food!!!
- Cons: parking
