Desire Oyster Bar: Reviews & Ratings
Easily the best oysters I've ever eaten. Everything was gorgeous. Desserts fell a little short
This is our go to oyster bar whenever we are in New Orleans. We order the chargrilled oysters, and they are always delicious. If you're going in for oysters, I recommend sitting at the bar where you can watch the workers shuck and grill them. Today we ordered the fried green tomatoes for the first time. Unfortunately, they did not have seasoning on them, and there was a lot of breading. We would not order these again. Pro tip: they have happy hour in the late afternoons, and oysters are one dollar apiece during that time.
We are staying at Royal Sonesta so it was super close (attached). Needed a snack and the hotdog stand wasn't opened yet so half dozen chargrilled oysters sounded good. Then I saw the gumbo go by and it was love at first smell! Had a cup. Burned we have dinner reservations it I would've gone nuts in there. I make a good seafood gumbo but theirs was next level. I'm gonna have to do better. Can't recommend highly enough.
Located right in the Bourbon Street area, I stopped in this cute little restaurant to experience the charbroiled oysters that New Orleans is famous for. I enjoyed a nice margarita at the bar and ordered the oysters, which were very good. Topped with butter and parmesan cheese, I wish I could have had more.
Best Oysters in New Orleans, not a popularity contest. hands down best in flavor. cherry on top is you get more for your buck.
We ate here twice while staying in NOLA . Great Service and Great Food ! Everything was fresh and tasty ! The Sister servers there are a joy and are a credit to your staff :) Again, Wonderful Place to Eat ! ( in the Royal Sonesta Hotel)
