NOLA Restaurant

I've been to this restaurant twice and had amazing experiences. The first time was 6 years ago when I had one of the best meal's of my life here. The second was a few weeks ago where I again had a fantastic meal. Every time someone I know is going to New Orleans this is the number one place I recommend, in fact I tell them they MUST find the time to go here. I've never had anything but exceptional food here and everyone I've been with and recommended it to has enjoyed themselves as well. The next time I'm back in New Orleans NOLA will once again be my first stop!

I've eaten here a few times and really, REALLY enjoyed it each time. The Garlic Crusted Gulf Drum is my fav, for sure. I hope they reopen prior to my next trip back home...

Continuing my series of reviews of my time in The French Quarter: We stopped in at NOLA for lunch, and we a very enjoyable experience. We were able to make a reservation online before arriving in New Orleans which was very convenient when planning our visit to The French Quarter. The jambalaya was excellent! It is a huge portion. You better come very hungry or bring back-up to help you finish. They had a great wine selection, I highly recommend ordering the gator bites. Enjoy!

Good food and the pricing is descent, but I had betters. We enjoyed the server, Sheryl, which was super happy and nice. As is said, the food was OK but other than the local Creole flavors, didn't feel too special the fillet of the beef was ordered medium rare, but was provided medium well. It was too salty. The surrounding was really good. Mushroom, sauce... The desert we took was really special. Not something we ever tasted before.

Kept seeing NOLA everywhere felt like an idiot when I found out what it meant..lol

NOLA is a MUST to go to during happy hour. They have great well drinks for a discounted price and the food specials were just as awesome. The pizza was super good, we loved the gator bites and the boudin balls were super unique to be cooked inside of bread. Excellent!!!

This was my first time visiting one of Emeril’s restaurant. We arrived around 1pm on a Saturday afternoon with having no wait at all. The first server who took our order was very attentive in the beginning with taking our order and answering any questions we had. Then he kind of disappeared and the second one took over word serving the entrees and the rest of the meal service. I ordered the andouille sausage pizza. The pizza was really good and full of flavor. I also ordered the flourless chocolate torte for dessert, skip dessert and save your money it’s nothing special to be desired.

I am sure when everything goes right this place is much better. The dining room is showing some wear and tear. The room divider on the second floor has been hit with chairs so many times it is cracked. The chairs were well used. The wait staff did not seem very well trained, and downright rude to each other. They were friendly with the guests, but something felt off. The food was good. We had a variety of tasty dishes, but nothing stood out as exceptional. There are too many other good restaurants around - I would not go back.

The staff was great but the service was really slow. Not impressed with the food. AT. ALL. Ordered the skillet cornbread as an app. It tasted bitter like it was over toasted or over roasted. The buttermilk fried chicken, the chicken was bland and the mashed sweet potatoes were too sweet for this dish. Also ordered Mama Hayes stuffed chicken wings. That was also too sweet. Not sure but I think it had raisins in it too. I've been to Emeril's in Orlando and I wasn't impressed there either. I will probably not try another Emeril restaurant again.

Came here last night Oct 19 with a group of friends for my birthday dinner. I am glad I choose this restaurant as it was a very good evening! The restaurant itself was nicely decorated, staffed appropriately, and the ambience was very nice as well. The atmosphere is more so business casual but not too over the top. I ordered the Ora King Salmon with a side of mushrooms and peas. The portions are your standard size to not get you completely full but enough that you’re not starving. The salmon was very delicious and it melted in my mouth! It was cooked perfectly and very crusty/flaky. This is a dish I would get again. The mushrooms and peas was great as well as it had a taste of sour and savory. I ate every bite! Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu, wines, and making sure we were taking care of. Overall, this was a great dinner and I can’t wait to come back!
