Nolia

A kind waiter seated us without reservation. Atmosphere is nice. The platter was good. The snapper was very bad. No taste (no salt/pepper. No lemon. No herbs no nothing) and its belly was not cleaned. Served with rice mixed with ham? When you think a fish dish, you don’t want to see meat in that plate. They forgot to bring my drink . For $100, I’d expect a better service and great quality food.

Great food! The alligator and duck were excellent! Bon appetit! They have a bar inside to order drinks. The vibe in this place was amazing. It was good that there wasn’t too many people inside considering that everything is close together. In addition, it’s a good restaurant to host family gathering or birthday dinners.

I love southern cooking and was excited to try out this fusion of European with a south Louisiana influence. The Good: Loved how they poured you a small taster of sparkling wine when you sit, that was a unique touch. We arrived early and they were able to get us seated right away. The waiter was very personable. Wife loved her espresso martini, and I was happy with their selection of wines. The cup of gumbo was absolutely delicious! The Bad: We tried the caprese appetizer and while it was fine, what was served just didn't warrant the cost of $14 (and this was the happy hour price), though other dishes seemed to be more appropriately priced. The service had gaps, but there was a noticeably long wait between the appetizer/soup and when the entrees arrived. So much so the waiter made a lighthearted joke about it after the fact. The atmosphere is relaxed though, and not a place you would really visit if you were in a rush, so it was forgivable and we never felt totally neglected. The Ugly: We were told we had to try the Chateau Briand, so both of us ordered it. While each was cooked to perfection, it had been salted beyond ruin. It would have been no different if someone had physically rolled the meat through a pile of salt before cooking it. I'm talking physical discomfort after the fact. I don't know if this was an accident in the kitchen or what, but both of us agreed it was borderline inedible. The potatoes, tomatoes, and accompanying sauce were all incredible though, and had the steak not been over seasoned it would have been 5 out of 5. We would have considered sending it back to try something else had it not taken 45+ mins to arrive at our table. It's hard not to provide a harsh rating when the main course was a thumbs down, but we otherwise enjoyed the experience and would likely try other entrees in the future and amend our review if the experience improved.

Lucky was such an amazing server! She always made sure we had everything we needed and more. I ordered a ginger martini, carnivore charcuterie board, and the steelhead trout. Everything tasted phenomenal. We will absolutely be back.

We had such a great experience at Nolias! We went for the NYE tasting menu, the food was amazing. The service was BEYOND!!!! All of the staff was amazing and a special shout out to Armando for being so attentive. The whole vibe in Nolias is wonderful, from the art work to the plants all around. There was an amazing DJ playing both acoustic guitar and singing as well as mixing music. All around, such an amazing night.
