NEW ORLEANS – The owners of French Quarter restaurant GW Fins, 808 Bienville St., will temporarily close from Sunday, July 3, through Monday, July 25, 2016, for a comprehensive kitchen remodel and major renovation.
“One of the very exciting aspects of the restaurant industry is the evolution of culinary influences from around the world and progressive cooking techniques,” Gary Wollerman, GW Fins co-owner and managing partner, said. “We have a great culinary team led by Chef Owner Tenney Flynn and Executive Chef Michael Nelson. With their experience, enthusiasm, and a new facility, we will be prepared to bring our guests the finest seafood for the next 15 years.”
Chef Tenney Flynn has become known as one of the country’s foremost seafood authorities, being referred to as “the fishmonger czar of the South” by The Wall Street Journal, and is a nationally-recognized expert on Gulf Seafood.
He said nature writes their daily menu as he and Executive Chef Michael Nelson locate the highest quality fish from all parts of the world to augment the bounty of seafood they locally source from the Gulf of Mexico.
The wine list at GW Fins, which has been awarded the prestigious Wine Spectator Award of Excellence every year since 2002, features more than 100 boutique and large production wines from California, France, Italy, Spain and Argentina, 50 of which are available by the glass.
GW Fins is open for dinner nightly, from 5:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 5:00 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evening.
Complimentary parking is available at Central Parking Garage, located an half a block away at Dauphine and Iberville Streets.
