Clesi's Restaurant & Catering

Authentic experience and gem just minutes from the heart of New Orleans. Tasty crawfish and shrimp, seasoned to perfection. Couldn’t get enough of it. The jambalaya fries are a MUST-TRY! A great complement and side. Wonderful service from our waitress, who helped explain how much people normally order. Loved the outdoor dining experience as well.

Enjoyed the Coolinary menu. outside eatery. When we originally booked our seats we did not know that all of the seating was outside. they do have a lot of fans and that cooled everything down as well as kept any possible pest away. We tried a few of their crafted cocktails and they were all very good. -> Watch out for the obligatory 5% charge they are going to add to your bill for the kitchen staff. If you tip 20% you are effectively paying 25% I tried the parmesan broiled oysters. It was a little too much cheese on there for me but the flavor was good. my appetizer was the spinach artichoke dip and it had a lot of spinach… Not too much cream. Delicious The staff was very friendly and helpful.

This was an unexpected great find! After trying to get crawfish at two other places unsuccessfully, wound up here. What a great place for out of town guests to experience a crawfish boil!!!! The menu was VERY limited so we saw a lot of people decide to go elsewhere. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day!

Delicious Seafood at a great price. What's not to love! Clesi's offer a great Crawfish boil and very good Po' boy. We sat inside near the bar and our server was kind and very helpful with recommending the amount of crawfish to order, and how best to eat them. I look forward to my next visit. 5.0

Crawfish Rangoons, amazing. Jambalaya, to die for. This place has carved itself into this nook and is always busy. You can complain about a wait but if you are in NOLA and you aren’t waiting, it isn’t worth it. This place is great, highly recommend and props to the Chef and the Boil Pit, none stop business and happy full bellied patrons. Keep it up, we’ll be back!

Great food, fantastic service. Loved every bite and so glad we finally got to be here after seeing it on Try Guys! The boudin was the perfect spicy and to follow up with a shrimp po-boy and fried shrimp... then side of crawfish Mac and cheese and jambalaya... omg so happy and FULL.... parking was not the best but worth the walk!Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: YesTakeout: Yes

Staff was really friendly with our to-go order; thanks to BREE who helped me figure out what to get. Crawfish were great. We can eat a grand total of one pound between Ben and I. The Jambayala fries were GREAT but it was a mistake to get them as a to-go order. They were a solid mass by the time we got back to eat them. Grilled chicken sandwich was underwhelming. Very cute in house environment upon pickup. Loved the vibe.

In my last day in New Orleans I ordered the Boiled Platter… it was amazing! I’ve never tried crawfish before, I love seafood and I was really craving for this! I was kind of disappointed for other meals that were okay but too overpriced for being such a touristic place. However, this platter was the opposite! It was so worth it! For $19 you get this amount of food! Not only the quantity but also the quality! I totally recommend this place for anyone who is visiting New Orleans and is craving for crawfish!

I went here on Sunday, went around 5pm and there was a line already outside the gates so I figured they must be really good so I waited about an hour! I highly recommend making reservations ahead of time. Anyways my crawfish rating out of 10 Peeling/8.0 Size/8.6 and Flavor/7.4 on the first order was so good I figured I'll order 2lbs more but it didn't come out the same, almost zero spice and hard to peel this time 4/10 it had dropped, drink prices are kinda overpriced but they do serve burgers fries for those not wanting sea food, will try this place again.

Best crawfish I’ve ever had in my life and a fun atmosphere. Was the perfect end note for a long weekend in New Orleans! Bri is the best server in the world please give her a raise.
