Review Summary

Bistro Nolah is widely regarded as a standout destination for authentic New Orleans inspired Cajun and Creole cuisine in the West Island. Guests frequently praise the flavorful, high quality dishes such as the shrimp and grits, brisket, fried chicken, and signature beignets, often highlighting the impressive attention to detail in every course. While the intimate, cozy atmosphere and warm, attentive service are major draws for many, some diners note that the space can become quite loud and occasionally feel crowded. Although a few reviewers found certain dishes to be overly spicy or prices to be on the higher side, the overwhelming majority of visitors describe their experience as memorable and top notch, frequently returning for both brunch and dinner.

Been meaning to go for a few months/since opening. No reservation, still was able to sit at the bar. Service was very good, great attention from our waiter(maybe owner/manager) & the bar staff. We ordered Mac & cheese & Jambalaya balls (special menu) & they were amazing, took shrimp creole & braised ribs for mains, both great dishes, shrimp creole was perfectly spiced, I am always worried when ordering shrimp but in a creole restaurant it's a must & was not disappointed. Braised ribs was tender & delicious. Drinks were made with fresh citrus juices & very tasty. Unfortunately no room for dessert. Atmosphere was welcoming nice music & good vibe. Would go back & would recommend. Did not take picture too existed to eat.

Very attentive service & the food was so flavoursome! If they have the banana cheesecake on the special menu, don't miss you chance!! It's hands down the best cheesecake I ever had! Thanks again for everything Bistro Nolah!

I happened upon a review from a resto I had dinner at a few weeks ago that was posted by "Dan" his pontificating & belly aching about being charged a few for not showing for a reservation , buddy .. you are not ready for fine dining stick to taverns & mcds, slandering a phenomenal restaurant because you can't keep a reservation is a whole new level of hillbilly entitlement

I just came on to leave a compliment to the team of Bistro Nolah & saw the complaint about being charged for late cancellation. As a hairdresser, I loose so much money every time a client doesn't show up. Without a 24 notice, we can't make up that money. You shouldn't be so upset if you were going to show up to your reservation, & if you weren't going to show up, then you should be made to pay the Restaurant's loss. The small businesses haven't recovered from covid yet, & people like you don't make it easy on us. You just gave one star.... What do you think that does for his business? If you don't want to go back, that is your prerogative,but don't make it any harder for the small businesses who are working so hard to keep their heads above water. I'm sorry you never got to experience the great food of Bistro Nolah, I've been there often & it's worth every penny. I wish you good luck.

Not the same as pre-pandemic & wasn't worth the price tag. No more amuse-bouche. How is covid responsible for that(excuse from waitress) Had to flag the waitress multiple times. Not busy, just distracted. Rice tasted like it was from chi-chi's or a can. Sausage was dry. They used to serve imported wine, now same stuff as SAQ. Chloé for crying out loud. Now there is nothing original nor good enough to overlook the parking lot terrasse. There are better places to spend +100$.
