The food is great, and authentic--but it's a big noisy singles place where it's difficult to carry on a conversation because ... more on TripAdvisor

Ate there for a business dinner (party of 6). All open air and very hot this evening (no fans). Cute atmosphere, 100% New Orleans ambience and menu. We loved the atmosphere, but entirely too noisy for ... more on TripAdvisor

While small and tucked away, Nola's offers a good time, good food, and some great drinks. The menu is somewhat small, but almost everything on it is appetizing. An amazing order of fries, complete with sweet potato accompanying regular ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I've never been to New Orleans , so I'm not even going to start comparing Nola to the New Orleans experience. Theme restaurants are so overrated. Nola, on the otherhand, is another story. The ambience, the vibe, and the overall setting ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I mostly go to this place for the bar, not for food. They serve great cocktails. The bar area is pretty small and tends to get very crowded and noisy. The restaurant ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Why does Nola's constantly win awards? Besides the food this is one of the spiciest places to go in a town that sends out the National Guard when a few protesters show up. Nola's has become a favorite spot of not only the students ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Amazing how they were able to create such an awesome ambiance in what could have been an alley??? more on Yahoo! Travel

Nola is fantastic for superb New Orleans dining. The ambience is excellent and makes me feel like I'm in downtown New Orleans (although I've never been there). Their jambalaya is excellent - nice and spicy with healthy portions of ... more on CitySearch

There's only two things wrong with Nola. First problem is the crowds - Friday and Saturday is rowdy and packed - and the second is the manufactured atmosphere. It's got a certain Chili's vibe across the board - New Orleans isn't this ... more on CitySearch

Ok so I'm in Palo Alto with some friends and were looking for a place to eat and grab a few drinks. Our cab driver recommended Nola's after the normal questions about the establishment it self we told the driver to go ahead and drop ... more on CitySearch

Althought seating took some time, it was understandable because I had a party of 18+. The staff was very accomadating because as soon as we walked upstairs, we realized that there was not enough space to seat all of us in the same ... more on CitySearch
