GW FINS RE-OPENS AFTER DRAMATIC FLOOR-T0-CEILING REDESIGN, offers special dinner to celebrate

What does a restaurant do to celebrate almost a quarter of a century of being recognized for their trailblazing culinary innovations?  They undergo a complete re-design, the décor reflecting the cuisine’s constant evolution. Although owner Gary Wollerman has updated the restaurant’s décor throughout the years, this is the first floor to ceiling remodel for the celebrated seafood restaurant.

After working with local interior designer Christine Diggs on previous updates for the restaurant’s Private Dining Room and Bar, he that knew Diggs shared his vision. Together, they have transformed the expansive restaurant. GW Fins is housed in a historic, turn-of-the-century French Quarter warehouse.  The new design features a deeper color palate and every surface – from chairs and banquettes to the walls, ceiling and floors – have all been transformed.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled watching our vision for this new design take shape and be brought to reality,” states Wollerman.  “We’re all so excited to welcome our guests back, and see their reaction to the more upscale, and altogether sexier vibe we’ve created for them."

Wollerman has chosen wall finishes and textured fabrics in deeper, richer palates of silver and dark blues and charcoals, all highlighted by a dramatic floor to ceiling mural. 

“We’re delighted that another project we’ve been working on during the first half of the year is also taking place, just after this remodel, on October 1st," says Wollerman. "It's collaborative, dry-aged fish dinner with Chef Michael and the country’s two other dry aged fish pioneers, Liwei Liao and Davin Waite. This will be the perfect opportunity to showcase our new restaurant design and the culinary innovations from three industry leaders at a truly remarkable dinner." 

The cost for this five-course wine pairing dinner is $225 per person, exclusive of tax and gratuity.   Seating is limited, as well as communal, and it is suggested to secure reservations as soon as possible. Reservations for this dinner can only be made online here.
