A lovely and modest spot bringing upscale seafood inspired heavily by New Orleans. You can really see and taste the inspiration throughout the menu! Everything we had was amazing and I absolutely will be going again! We went for lunch, but I've heard that dinner is even better.

My partner and I love food that we havve had in NOLA so we are always looking for places that can get us close to NOLA flavors. The food at this place is amazing. We have the charboiled oysters, the catfish loaf and the bread (the bread was amazing perfectly warm). the bread pudding was also great. i love that all dishes are shareable. definitely hoping to go back again.

My husband is from Louisiana so often, New Orleans inspired food outside of LA falls flat, but Strange Delight hit it out of the park. Every bite we ate was perfectly seasoned, slightly spicy and cooked to perfection. The scallop starter was one of the best things I’ve eaten in a while and the fry basket was executed perfectly with crispy, flavorful batter. We also had the chargrilled oysters, som tam and creole crumb crusted fish - all of which were spectacular. Will definitely be visiting again to try the rest of the menu!

I visited for Sunday lunch. The food is definitely fresh, which we appreciated. However, both my partner and I found the dressing to be a bit too salty for our taste. The service was excellent—attentive and friendly throughout the meal. The atmosphere is also very pleasant, with lots of thoughtful décor and a well-designed space that’s worth visiting. Overall, it was a good experience. I’d just recommend communicating your preference about saltiness with the server when ordering.

Great lunch. I was able to use my $150 Chase Sapphire credit, which covered two entrees, three drinks and the tip! Food is very flavorful and the drinks were on point. Cant ask for much more!

Loved the open kitchen, and the food was amazing. Bold, delicious flavors. We ordered the small seafood tower, which was the perfect size for two, along with the charbroiled oysters and cured scallops. The bread pudding was amazing. Huge shoutout to the chefs, kitchen, and entire staff. Great service overall.

Beautiful interiors, delicious food, great wine!!! The service is very attentive as well. The food was really great we especially loved the Mac n cheese and corn bread and fried green tomatoes.

I invited a friend to Strange Delight delight under the guise of indulging in the seafood tower happy hour, while very well knowing we couldn’t leave without sampling more of the menu. The tower is perfect - you can essentially build your own tower. We had oysters which were smaller but packed with flavor, pimento dip that was punchy and savoury, and side salad which was well dressed, balanced, and layered with herbs. Then to our gateway: the charbroiled oysters - classic will always have my heart, but the spicy BBQ were something special- I’ve never had anything like it! Would be a great introduction to oysters for anyone nervous to try. And of course to soak up all that delicious sauce we had the house bread with seaweed butter - I don’t think I’ve had a more delicious bread&butter combo. Hush puppies were small and light and came with a delicious honey butter. Then to the BBQ shrimp and shrimp loaf. BBQ shrimp were large, plump, and delicious - a delicate balance of savoury with a hint of sweetness and bathing in sauce. If you think you don’t need some form of bread to help you finish off that sauce, you my friend are mistaken. And finally the shrimp loaf- giant, perfectly fried shrimp, delicately bound between cool and crisp veggie held together by the softest sandwich bread! It’s worth whatever hype you may have heard about it. Beyond the food, the staff and service were spectacular- front of house and kitchen staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive! Our server Jordan was excellent! The attention the detail was spectacular- glasses never neared empty, dishes were collected as they were emptied, and our counter was always wiped clean- Strange Delight is a gem of an experience, one you’ll want to revisit.

We've been meaning to try this spot for ages and were finally able to snag a table. It was great! The food was fantastic, cocktails were lovely, and it's a beautiful place. We ordered the following: - Strange Delight Tower Service (smoked trout dip in particular was great) - Red Beans And Rice (there were other better things) - Chargrilled Oysters (fantastic) - Fried Chicken (some of the best I've had!) - Fries And Bearnaise (excellent) Would be interested in trying the shrimp loaf in the future; apparently it's their spin on a po boy.

Genuinely enjoyed the food here and the staff made it exceptional. Made a reservation for 2 with my homegirl and waited a few minutes for the table ahead to clear. I fasted that day and the hostess was kind enough to offer me water and something to eat. Food was delicious. My mocktail was refreshing. The oysters were so fresh. I had 1 fishy oyster and it still went down fine. The free banana bread pudding in the end was the best way to end the meal!
