New Orleans Seafood & Steakhouse

The best dinner we have had! The service; the food, the drinks, absolutely amazing! If I could give a 10 star rating, this place deserves it. Enjoyed everything about it!

Their business card states, "When the last bite is as good as the first, that's cajun." I would beg to slightly differ. In my experience I would say, "That's New Orleans Seafood & Steakhouse!" In my 76 years, I've had the opportunity to travel through more than a few of the countries in the world, while sampling a wide variety of cuisines, and NEVER have I had better food in a more welcoming, friendly environment. Tables are covered with two red and white cloths and adorned with a fresh rose. New Orleans Seafood & Steakhouse is the hidden gem of Etobicoke. You must go for the best dining experience ever, served in a classy, comfortable dining room and attended to by not one, but many pleasant, well trained staff. The owner, Mike, is a special treat all in himself. He does not miss a table and bestows upon each one an individual attention that seems almost impossible for one man to accomplish in a many-tabled room. When Mike stops at your table, he leaves you with the feeling that you are the only one he has ever had the pleasure to feed. His brown eyes have a mischievous twinkle above a ready smile that is inviting and genuinely warm. His conversation is comfortable and friendly and sneaky. In our one-on-one time with him he learned I was visiting Ontario from Calgary and my girlfriend and I were celebrating our June birthdays. Mine had been the 24th and Joanne's was that day. Have I mentioned the food? The FIVE STAR, amazing food! Beautifully presented and spiced with a deft and knowing hand in true cajun tradition. My girlfriend had the salmon and I had the lamb chops! Portions were more than generous and neither of us were able to clean our plates which meant another delicious meal was to be had from our leftovers. I want to say how tender and flavourful the lamb chops were; only the fresh, seared al dente vegetables seriously threatened to show them up. Of course we shared so I got to taste the melt-in-your-mouth, perfectly grilled, salmon that gave me a jolt of pure Pelican envy, wishing for a beak that could hold more than my belly can! Being much too full to think of ordering dessert we basked in the last of our wines chosen from a broad cellar selection and chatted. Even though it was still early in the evening and the dining room was full, we felt no pressure to get up and leave. Mike arrived again at our table and said they would like to give us complimentary birthday desserts and to please take our choice from the menu. Surprised, we both chose the creme caramel which was served on a large dinner plate with a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY written in chocolate and with a lit candle! Even though we were bursting at the seams we both managed to find room to scrape the last bite of eggy caramel goodness, with a touch of semi-sweet chocolate bark, making it a piece de resistance. Now drowning in our decadent fullness we were served with one more surprise in a small, fluted aperitif. At first taste we thought Sambuca, but the taste was too smooth so we asked one of the waiters and found it was a delightful mix of frangelico and white creme de menthe. Mmmmmm. And there you have it! The cat is out of the bag! New Orleans Seafood & Steakhouse is the place to go for your best dining experience ever!

Came back to this restaurant after years of not living in this area. Food was as great as we remembered. Wait staff and owner/manager were very friendly and attentive but not overly so, not intrusive to our dining experience. We joked with our server about the sauce from the mussels appetizer being so good, one would like to take the left overs home. She not only packed it up and saved it for us, she brought it out at the end of the meal in a bag along with some fresh bread. So thoughtful. We will be sure to bring our friends here in the future. Oh, and our mains were great as well, Shrimp Creole and Cajun Fisherman’s Plate. For first timers, the restaurant isn’t very large so be sure to make reservations.

Last night we had a superb meal at New Orleans Seafood and Steakhouse. My dinner guest is on a very strict low sodium diet and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Their attention to those dietary restrictions was heartwarming. Both our meals from appetizers to mains to dessert, perfect! This restaurant and the people who run it are true gems.

Everything about this restaurant felt like a movie, filled with excellent customer service skills and flavourful dishes. Tried a variety of foods and it blow my mind, each time! From the appetizers to dessert, the experience made us want to come back with more friends. So excited so try it again 🥳

Warm welcoming restaurant. If you like small but quality. Food was tasty but portions are small. Food came out too fast raising the question if it was prepared before hand which I asked the manager/owner, but he said he put the order in right away.

Very good food, but I feel it’s overrated for its price.

Excellent, as usual. Crab cakes are fantastic. Personal service from the owner and great servers. Make reservations! (Edit 14May2024) Here again! Blackened catfish with seasonal vegetables and rice. PERFECT! If you love seafood Louisiana style, come here!

If I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars I would! When we entered the owner so kindly greeted us. Extremely welcoming, including all the staff. The restaurant is very warm and the decor is elegant. The ambience and music matched the vibe of the restaurant. Don’t get me started on the food - MOUTH WATERING. A must try and hidden gem in Toronto. I will definitely be back and thank you to all the wonderful staff at this restaurant!

I don’t even know where to start. Everything about this restaurant exceeded my expectations. We were welcomed at the door by the owner Mike . What a gem. I loved hearing the story about New Orleans and his family run restaurant, made you feel right at home. Everything we ordered was homemade except the bread which was sourced from a local baker and the ice cream. I knew I was in for a treat. We started with the Caesar salad which was dressed with the most incredible homemade dressing. We shared a bowl of the creole mussels . The broth was unbelievable. I would have had it as a soup. Make sure you save some bread to dip in. For mains we had the blackened sea bass and New York steak . The steak was cooked to the perfect medium rare. I loved the seared veggies. Portions were beyond generous, food was perfectly seasoned. Honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time . I can’t wait to go back.
