Honestly, we cannot pass up this place every time we go to the city. Some of the best crawfish in town. Everything‘s made fresh, your food will always be piping hot. The flavors are outstanding. If you just want some good ol’ crawfish, this is the place to go. This is a Family owned business.

Best meal we had in New Orleans! Crawfish was incredibly fresh. Crawfish rangoons were amazing. Also enjoyed the siracha lime charbroiled oysters. Definitely worth a trip from the city center!

We were excited to try Clesi’s because of the good reputation for seafood boils, but unfortunately our experience was very disappointing.
The crawfish were extremely spicy to the point that the seasoning completely overpowered the natural flavor of the meat. There was also no option to choose a spice level. The shrimp were very mushy and tasted like they were not fresh. The crab legs were overly salty and not enjoyable.
The catfish had a strange moldy or earthy taste that made it difficult to eat, and even the fries were heavily salted.
Overall, most of the food was not enjoyable and did not seem fresh. The only thing we liked was the draft beer.
Based on this visit, we would not return.

Had the boudin bites, fried seafood platter, 2 pounds of crawfish was about 12.99 a pound, pricey considering crawfish season just started but all were amazing. Great service !! We were even checked on for satisfaction by the manager who was very friendly! Everything was fresh and fast highly recommend!!

I was a little surprised that they didn’t have any crawfish, but it’s totally understandable because they’re out of season. I’m not local to New Orleans, so I thought they’d be available year round. Not the restaurant’s fault at all btw, I just wanted to point out why I came here in the first place 🙂
I ordered the charbroiled oysters and I was a little disappointed by how salty it was. The cheese was so overpowering and plentiful that it drowned the small oyster meat in a bad way. The bread and butter that they used was really good though!
While the food was kind of a let down, service was great Super kind and friendly staff! The guy who took our order was really accommodating and helpful.
The atmosphere was very casual, but the place was kind of small and tight, so if you’re coming be prepared if you are bringing a large crowd. They have outdoor dining as well.
I wish I had the chance to have gotten one of their delicious sounding drinks. They seemed really interesting!

Outside of a short stop on Bourbon St last night, our 2200 mile trip to NOLA started with one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever been a part of.
After finding some highly rated reviews on Reddit, we made our way to Clesi’s and were blown away with our time there. Chance took care of us and delivered the highest quality service experience I’ve received in many years. Not only helping guide us through the menu with recommendations, but also giving us a very intentional idea of what we should check off our New Orleans list while in town.
The boil was everything we hoped for and more. As much as it would have been nice to have them, big respects on skipping out stocking out-of-season crawfish. Everything they put on that plate was really fresh and well sized. The burger and po boy the rest of our party was fantastic as well. Gold star for the candied jalapeño and bacon charred oysters!
New Orleans quickly became one of our favorite destinations we’ve been to and Clesi’s helped ensure we’ll be lifelong travellers based on the hospitality alone. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could!

A great place for crawdads and seafood with a lot of tables outside. Good for groups of friends ready to dig into a 20 lb. batch of crawdads and other stuff on the menu.

Great seafood boil! Unfortunately it wasn’t crawfish season- but the crab and shrimp were great. The seasoning was just right- adding flavor but didn’t overpower the shellfish ( it was also gluten free). Everything was very fresh and the shrimp were large . We sat on the patio at a picnic table . The bartender/ server was extremely nice and even showed us how to get the meat out of the crab. The corn and sausage were also really good.

Today I took Mom to eat here and met another Golden Eagles fan. The owner, Carlo was so kind to talk with Mom and tell his love for the Eagles and speak bout his restaurant.
Now let’s get to food! I can’t say how delicious our lunch was. The oysters were some of the biggest I’ve had this year. Of course you could smell the crawfish a boiling for the first boil of the day. Yep, we got us some and it was done just right and tasty. The outdoor seating is on many different levels and was nice to sit outside and enjoy our lunch.
To end my review and this will say volumes about Carlo and staff. My mom had dementia and it’s obvious. Carlos came back to our table and share a contact for services to help since Mom will be moving close to me. That’s just good people!
Thank you Carlo and staff for making our experience memorable and wonderful! See you next week, lol.

Incredible Crawfish & Great Service!
We stopped by Clesi’s Seafood Restaurant on Thursday for their lunch special, and it did not disappoint! The crawfish were large, fresh, and perfectly seasoned, easily some of the best we’ve had. The meal came with corn, sausage, potatoes, and a side of jambalaya, but since they were out, they substituted with fries, which were absolutely delicious!
The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was top-notch, friendly, fast, and attentive. You can tell the chefs take pride in their food, and it really shows. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality seafood! We’ll definitely be back!
