Voted Best New Restaurants "Class of 13" by New Orleans Magazine. Desi Vega is the restaurateur of Desi Vega's Steakhouse and Mr. John's Steakhouse. Both restaurants are consistently outstanding and locals' favorite place to "see and be seen." Desi grew up in the restaurant business and was groomed by Ella Brennan at Commander's Palace, Ruth Fertel of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and Emeril Lagasse. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence makes for a truly memorable dining experience. Our USDA Prime steaks are carefully selected, hand-cut and aged for tenderness, then seared to perfection and served on a sizzling plate. The Who Dat Shrimp appetizer and Andouille-crawfish Mac & Cheese are favorite dishes of the New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans players. We hope you'll visit to see for yourself!!

    Service was above and beyond,as well as food. No legitimate complaints, my wife is a Steak and Seafood lover more so than me, but I loved my Ribeye steak. Therefore, overall I would recommend and eat there again.

    I've had a lot of opportunities to eat at some great steakhouses in Dallas. Desi Vega's has earned their place in this category. You can't be disappointed. We had the calamari for a starter, and the outside was crisp, inside tender flavorful. Topped with an olive salad, it was a perfect paring with the brininess of the olives against the crisp calamari and the wonderful sauce. The house salad was a beautiful blending of mixed greens, avocado and walnuts with a wonderful Gray Goose vinaigrette. I had the ribeye, and my wife the petite sirloin - both cooked to perfection and served on a sizzling platter that kept the steaks the perfect temperature without further cooking the meat. It was more than we could eat, but we took the rest with us for a snack later in the day. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and did everything to make the experience perfect. So, if you think New Orleans is all about seafood, (and we had some great seafood), see if Desi Vega's might change your opinion.

    I celebrated my birthday at Desi Vegas last week. After having so much seafood in Nola I was searching for a steakhouse and I was completely fascinated. Everything was delicious but the lamb chops were exquisite, the best I have ever had, the mojito glaze took it over the top. My husband had the surf and turf and it was amazing as well. The service provided by Gregorio, Kevin and Lawson was excellent. The were very attentive but never overbearing. I will definitely return again.

    Desi Vega’s was one of the best date nights we’ve had in a while! Service was 10/10. They did small things like present all the plates at the same time or unfold our napkins to put in our laps for us. Every single person told my wife happy birthday (since we put that in our reservation notes). Ambiance was very dark / moody. Perfect for a date night. And the food was amazing. Who Dat Shrimp - a “Must Get”. It was a bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with crab meat. The sauce that came with it was great. Hearts of Lettuce - a classic wedge salad. We told them we were going to split this, so they pre-split it on 2 plates. Porterhouse for Two - if you have a couple that both wants steak and likes it cooked the same way, then do this. It’s plenty of meat for 2 people (we even had leftovers), plus it was delicious! Onion rings - thin cut onion rings were delicious. We were pretty full at this point (so didn’t eat many of them), but took them home as leftovers. Drinks - we each got a cocktail. Their cocktail menu was pretty much classic cocktails with a slight twist. Also they gave us a complimentary dessert for her birthday! Overall, this was delicious. Probably the best steak dinner we’ve had in New Orleans.

    We had looked forward to finally making it to Desi's after hearing such wonderful things from our friends. We made early dinner reservations and apparently caught them off guard. Upon being seated at our table, there was a bus boy tray on my seat. I took it off the seat and handed it to the person seating us. The seat was wet underneath. Not a great start. My 2 friends ordered apps and I ordered the turtle soup. One of the apps was incredibly salty and almost inedible. My soup arrived, but it was not turtle soup. Some mixup in the kitchen I guess. Entrees came out and one of the steaks was cooked perfectly, but mine was quiet a bit beyond Med Rare and once again, the sides were extremely salty. We had a bottle of wine, a few cocktails each, apps and entrees and wound up with a $800 check ($150 wine). Just didn't seem to be worth that in the end. I'm sure we'll go back to give them another shot. My friends couldn't believe we had that experience when I told them. We'll be back to try it again.

    My husband and I love desi Vega we have been to the Metairie location and decided to come to this one because everyone talks about how good it is. We were celebrating our anniversary, just like last time we were at the Metairie one. Where was the meatball?! That’s one thing we look forward too and we didn’t get one. We also had to pay for our dessert even tho it was our anniversary, last time we came to celebrate, we were not charged for that. The steak was extremely salty and almost difficult to eat. I had to scrape a lot of the seasoning on top off of it to get rid of the salt taste. My husband felt the same way. We were disappointed overall.

    We often go here for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and visitors. Great steak, great service, and good wine/drinks. It is is our opinion one of the best in NOLA.

    Great restaurant. A little loud but I guess I’m just getter older. The waiters were great and the manager came out to pour a high end bourbon for my brother and me. That was the highlight of the night! The steaks were very good and he got the steak fries and I got a baked potato, a humongous one at that. Highly recommend this restaurant!!

    July 24,2023 (Mon 12noon): We needed to eat at this restaurant before returning to CA today. My husband and I got the Caesar Salad ($17 - I prefer the Boston Bibb Salad) and Cowboy ($70 - I like the Rib eye Steak better) with a side of Cream Spinach ($11). The service is always great, thanks to Mona Lisa and Alysia.

    Absolutely the best dinner experience I’ve possibly ever had. From the moment we sat down the attentiveness of the staff was a perfect balance of being right there when we needed something but not being bothersome. The food was absolutely on an entire other level. From the salad to the sides to my perfectly cooked steak with bone marrow butter. 10/10 would recommend to everyone who is willing to pay a little more for the finer things in life. This place will be a stop everytime we come to NOLA. Can’t wait to come back

    July 21,2023 (Fri 5:34pm): My husband and I just arrived today from CA. We had to return to this restaurant because it is becoming one of our favorite places to eat in New Orleans. We ordered the rib eye steak ($55) with bone marrow sauce ($9), and a side of asparagus ($11) and our server Kevin suggested the Boston Bibb Salad ($17). It was delicious. Thank you, Kevin, Darin, and Anthony for your excellent service.
