“We are overjoyed to open our newest location in our home town and are committed to living up to the Deanie’s standard, which has earned a reputation as an established, recommended local favorite consistently recognized as one of the top seafood restaurants in New Orleans,” said Deanie’s Sea Food Kitchen Owner/Manager Chandra Scarber-Chifici.

“Both Uptown locals and visitors will now be able to enjoy fresh Louisiana seafood offerings like seasonal boiled seafood, fried seafood, crawfish etouffee, barbeque shrimp, crabmeat au gratin and po boys for which Deanie’s is known,” she said.

Deanie’s Sea Food Kitchen is the first new Deanie’s location since Deanie’s Seafood Restaurant in the French Quarter was introduced on the corner of Iberville and Dauphine streets in 2001. Located at the corner of Jackson Avenue, Deanie’s Sea Food Kitchen seats approximately 175 guests and features a spacious second-story wrap-around balcony for outdoor dining with a beautiful view of the New Orleans skyline. The new design features a raw and charbroiled oyster station and an open kitchen layout with an oversized, fabricated metal-lighted “Deanie’s” sign mounted above the kitchen, a long dining bar extending to a full bar, and counter seating facing Magazine Street. A second full bar and additional seating is available upstairs, with special accents such as exposed bulb lighting fixtures, rough-hewn wood tables, and vintage oyster baskets lining the ceiling. The restaurant’s open ceiling and steel embellishments provide an industrial yet warm atmosphere, with historic, homegrown touches throughout the space, including vintage signs and black-and-white fishing photography by local photographer Bevil Knapp.
