Pêche Seafood Grill

The NOLA dream team of Donald Link, Steven Stryjewski and Ryan Prewitt assembled to launch Pêche Seafood Grill in 2013, and you’d best assemble a dream team to dine here—because you’ll want at least one of everything on the menu, up to and including the whole grilled fish special. In fact, generous portions notwithstanding, you may want multiple orders of smoked tuna dip and steak tartare garnished with oyster aioli. You’ll certainly want a cocktail to kick things off—this is the Big Easy, after all—and a spot of sipping rum to wind things down. Not that winding things down will be easy: at 160 seats, the rustic-chic space radiates energy no less than the food.
