Didn't know what to expect, but figured if Emeril owned it I was going to get an amazing experience. While I will say the decor and the atmosphere was pretty nice, I was a little disappointed with the overall food. I don't want to knock the food and say it was terrible or anything, I guess I just wanted to... more

Tag-team service--four different servers worked our table--poor communication and no real feeling of personal interaction. The high point was my husband's duck entree which was moist, meaty,and delicious. Low points were the gumbo--watery, pale, and lacking any flavor but celery--and the barbeque shrimp, served in an extremely salty sauce that tasted like a straight reduction of Lea & Perrins with... more

Really good menu options, and great service. more

I was skeptical of Emeril and his trourist trap jaunts, but we decided that based on walking distance and menu selection, we would give this place a try. We both fell deeply in love with it. The service was stellar and the food was amazing. Do yourself a favor and have the Cajun crabcake appetizer. It's definitely worth dying for. more

The only problem with NOLA? The portion sizes are too big!! Everything else is superb. more

My girlfriend and I had a great dinner at NOLA last night. Service was as friendly, knowledgeable and professional as ever. I like old-world styled wines (e.g. France), while my girlfriend prefers new-world styled wines (California) and sommelier recommended the perfect bottle with minimal information given to him. (2006 Yann Chave Crozes-Hermitage "Rouvre") We had no reservations but were sat... more

My 13-year old daughter and I were able to walk in and get a table within 15 minutes on a friday night. We had a great table where we could watch all the activity in the kitchen...great fun for me a person who likes to cook and entertaining for her. The food was delicious and the wait staff terrific. We... more

I really loved the decor of the restaurant, I found it very cozy. I love how the kitchen is open so you can see them make the food. I thought the duck gumbo was too salty. The halibit, which was way over cooked. The duck confit pizza was a fun appetizer to eat. The shrimp and gritz was execellent. The... more
