I've never been a seafood person. I like shrimp and salmon and that's about it. I might not eat it anywhere else, but I'd definitely eat the catfish and crawfish here again. It's was delicious. The staff is also super friendly. It might look like a hole in the wall, but those usually make the best kinds of restaurants and Clesi's is one of them!
Whether the star limit was 5, 10, or 100, I would give Clesi's the maximum rating possible. They catered a crawfish boil for my brother's bachelor party and it was out of this world! Kelly and Scott, who actually did the boil, were awesome and the food itself was the best we had the whole trip. I would absolutely recommend that anyone planning any sort of event in New Orleans give these guys a call!
Had a great experience at this joint. Very nice staff and great food. The owner (Clesi) is a super cool guy who made the whole night feel special and helped give it that authentic vibe when he took the time to sit down and talk with us and school us in the art of eating crawfish. Highly recommend checking this place out as everything we ate was top notch from all the various shrimp dishes, jambalaya, fried catfish with perfect breading and delicious mud bugs. A+++ Added bonus if you're a fan of the amazing band, WEEN. You might reconize the restaurants logo as the iconic Boognish.
