Personally I'm sold on it. Throw in a crawfish cake and the combo can't be beat anywhere anytime. There simply is nothing better. That little shop (Redfish) was one of the very few restaurants I've been to where I actually was extremely excited and eager to try every thing on the menu. Nothing falls into the "well I think I'll just skip trying that one" category. Think about that. Ok, yeah, quite good étouffée, and for a Ga Bulldog Gregg’s got some amazing skill.

Besides the meals mentioned above, the Chicken, Shrimp & Andouille Jambalaya and Shrimp and Grits are wonderful. Chip H.

I've been eating seafood (and other fantastic dishes) that Gregg's prepared since his days at Taste of New Orleans (W. Peachtree) & Tiburon (best keep secret in VA Highlands for a decade!) for nearly 20 years! Good stuff! JP Cliff -

We ate there only once, and while the food was delicious, we were practically pushed out of the restaurant. We weren't offered second glasses of wine; our appetizer was whisked away before we'd made it halfway through; we were rushed through our main courses; we weren't offered dessert; and when we signed our credit card slip the server actually came back to the table and got it -- along with the remaining dishes and glasses. It wasn't a busy night, and they were nowhere near closing time. I felt totally underwhelmed by the whole experience. I’m curious about your service experience at Redfish.
