This restaurant was convenient since we were staying at the Hilton Riverside, and I had read great reviews about the charcoal grilled oysters. They were right -- the oysters were awesome!! Don't miss those if you like oysters. The rest of the meal, though, was a disappointment. Not horrible but very average. Ambience was not good -- very noisy --... More

Enjoyed Drago's Charbroiled Oysters, they are worth having seconds. It was the only thing we had but they were delicious. We had them at a special function at Mardi Gras World, and they were served outside on the river's edge, off of Drago's fire engine grill. More

When checking out reviews for the Hilton Riverside, I saw that some really liked this restaurant. While staying at the Hilton, decided to eat lunch here. We started with their chargrilled oysters in garlic butter and parmesan (their signature dish). They were probably the best oysters I have eaten! (Admittedly, I do not eat oysters often.) They came with French... More

Best I've ever had. Was reluctant to try them during a month without an "r", but they were recommended, so I did. I had a dozen and wish I had room for more. If you aren't a fan of garlic or butter, get something else, but I hope you love both, as these oysters were as good as it gets. More

Food below average and pricy. Loud. Charbroiled oysters over rated. More

A local recommended the charbroiled oysters - I was skeptical as not a huge fan of them, but they were mighty tasty. The waiter was friendly,... More

Drago's is right by Harrah's Casino downtown New Orleans. My wife had the wood smoked oysters covered with a parmasen topping at Jacques-Imo's restaurant and wanted to try the food she had grown to love at the place where it was originated. (Besides, she wanted to gamble after eating.) She wasn't disappointed with the food, but she was with the... More

Char broiled oysters are delicious. Party of 5 had two dozen of then. We ordered Shuckee duckee, drumfish and shrimp for the table (tapas style) and they were all great. Latrisha was our server and was very gracious. So whether you come to New Orleans on business or pleasure - visit Drago's. I was here with my wife and her... More
