We started with the boudin bites and the Jucifier IPA, both were amazing, and for the entrée had the boiled shrimp, crabs, sausage, corn, and potatoes. The boiled seafood was traditional Louisiana style and very tasty. Spice level was 👌 We were a bit confused as to why none of the crabs had their claws, as they are the best part of the crab. The shrimp were huge and did not disappoint. Overall, everything was well made. Loved the atmosphere of the place. I wouldn't suggest sitting outside when the mosquitoes are in season - which in my experience is year round. Nasty little boogers.

Wonderful food, service, and vibes. Ordered the seafood boil platter, a salad, and a dessert to share between 2 people. Hannah was wonderful and helpful navigating our first seafood boil. The patio was a comfortable volume and lit well.

Raw oysters were exceptionally fresh and tasty and the fried alligator bites were tender and spicy. I would give service 6 stars since it was excellent, fast and friendly. Don't miss their legendary crawfish boil in season! Bonus, close to City Park!

Great hidden gem! This place has a great chill vibe- lots of great appetizers and fried food. Their daily specials are great, especially Taco Tuesday. It’s one of our favorite stops in Nola.

Come on Margarita night! Came for the seafood boil *ask for the garlic butter and crab butter (it's a naked boil). They were out of blue crab so I asked if they could add in extra shrimp which were nice and large. Also, had the crawfish Mac and boudin. Drinks were strong and atmosphere and service was great!

So glad we went away from the crowd of downtown New Orleans to find this place. We made reservations but got there a little early and were seated right away. The waitress was friendly and didn't skip the beat with service. The food was good and everyone left with full bellies.

Great spot mid city to enjoy ice cold beers, outdoor seating, and deliciously boiled seafood. Crawfish were great, good sized oysters on the half shell, and delicious fried broccoli.

Clesi's catered/hosted our ~50 person welcome/rehearsal dinner for our wedding. It was FANTASTIC!!!! We had our dinner at their small Garden @ Bottinelli event space, and it was perfect!!!! There was some indoor space and some outdoor space. The weather was questionable, and they set up tents for us and had the space lit with cute little lights. It was awesome. They were so kind, and Jess was a real joy to work with. The food was also amazing!!!! Some of the best crawfish I've ever had, and the spinach dip with fried bowtie pasta was outstanding.

The seafood boil tasted excellent and it was interesting to see them cook the food. Hannah was an excellent server. She had great recommendations and was attentive. Definitely worth trip out of the French Quarter for a unique dinner here. It was a highlight of our trip to New Orleans.

03-04-2023 Had a really tasty lunch with some friends. We were celebrating our friend's birthday. Was a little wait as expected, lunch on a Saturday. We were seated and were quickly ordering our drinks and appetizers. Lots of tasty options at Clesi's. They offer SO many sides... French fries, onion rings, fried green beans, side salad, jambalaya, crawfish mac and cheese... And a many more! I had the seafood platter with fried catfish, shrimp, and oysters with my side of fried green beans. My wife had the boiled platter. 1 lb of crawfish and 1 lb of shrimp with potatoes and sausage. We added the option of boiled mushrooms. Such an amazing birthday lunch for my friend. Thank you so much Clesi's Seafood Restaurant and Catering.
