Drago's Seafood Restaurant - Hilton New Orleans Riverside

The food catfish was so crunchy on the outside and flaky and moist on the inside. It was some of the best catfish I've ever eaten. The fried alligator bites were crunchy and delicious. It was my first time trying charbroiled oysters, and they were amazing. The rice in my cousin's shrimp creole was undercooked and crunchy, so the manager took it off the bill. The service was amazing! Will definitely be back next time I'm in New Orleans. 😋

The Charbroiled oysters came highly recommended and oh boy did they not disappoint. I originally ordered 6 and planned on getting a dinner selection but that plan took a pivot and it was another order that became my dinner. I couldn’t stop at one order. From the first slurp to the last it was perfection. The bread soaking up the butter and completed the meal. Highly recommend and plan to go back in a day or two.

Destiny, our server was great, the atmosphere was as expected, the taste of the food and drinks were good too. My only complaint were the size of the oysters. Granted the flavor was good I expected bigger, especially being that's what we went for after all the rave from other customers.

We eat there twice during our stay. The food is absolutely amazing. Well, I don’t know about the entire menu, but their bread pudding is to die for, and the Parmesan-crusted, charboiled oysters were divine! Our waitress, the first night seemed distracted, because I really needed some more water and I could not find her forever, the waiter we had the second night was super attentive and made sure we all had everything we needed. I will eat here every time I go to New Orleans, regardless of where we stay. The atmosphere, furniture and decor seemed outdated, but it was fine.

We went to Dragos downtown and had a blast, food was excellent. We started with the gator bites and the charbroiled oysters. I had the duck and andouille gumbo and the shrimp and grits for my mains. What a taste of New Orleans! It was way more food than I could eat, but I tried. This locations is associated with the hotel so I suspect it's a little more expensive than their other locations, but worth the price.

I've never had Eggplant Parm taste this good! It was more than enough... 3 slices! I couldn't finish it and I really wanted to. The restaurant is modern and clean. Service was fast and friendly... I do recommend!

Let me tell you… these were the BEST oysters I’ve ever had. My husband I tried oysters all over NOLA and we had to come back here twice because of how good they were when stayed. We went to NOLA in the beginning of 2024 and to this day we still talk about these specific oysters. So. Damn. Good! The bread pudding was delicious too.

This place came so highly recommended for the chargrilled oysters so we decided to try them out. Service was very unimpressive. It took a very long time to even be greeted, once we were the server was pleasant, she just seemed really busy. It was a Saturday night, so that was somewhat understandable. We ordered the Caesar salad, the Chargrilled Oysters and the Jumbo Shrimp Pasta. We loved the salad, a Caesar salad is pretty simple, but when it's done right it's my favorite and theirs was done right. Next up was the oysters and they were good. Very well seasoned, charred just right and very buttery. The bread was just over toasted and was just as hard as my croutons so it wasn't very good for soaking up the extra butter sauce. We hated the jumbo shrimp pasta. It looked great and you can tell that they take a lot of care making it. The issue is that the sauce and pasta was so very bland. Our server brought us red pepper flakes, red pepper and even Alfredo sauce in an attempt to improve it and it just never got there. However, the actual shrimp were really flavorful on their own. My recommendation is to get the oysters and salad and not that particular pasta.
