CajunCreoleComfort FoodBistroContemporary/ModernAmericanGluten-free OptionsResto-Bar
We named our restaurant Bistro Nolah, an acronym for New Orleans, out of a love for the style of comfort food they serve down south. This style of food will be the inspiration behind some of the dishes we will be serving at Nolah.

Review Summary

Across numerous visits to Bistro Nolah, diners describe a warm, intimate New Orleans inspired setting with a small, charming dining room that makes reservations essential. The menu draws praise for bold Creole and Cajun flavors, including shrimp and grits, jambalaya, gumbo, fried chicken, catfish, brisket and duck confit, plus beloved sides like hush puppies, mac and cheese, and grits. Brunch is repeatedly highlighted as exceptional, with surf and turf Benedict, Southern breakfast, French toast, and beignets among favorites, while desserts such as bread pudding and banana cheesecake are indulgent finales. Presentation, quality of ingredients, and vibrant seasonal flavors are common, alongside consistently attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like a special occasion. The vibe is described as intimate and romantic, ideal for date nights, yet suitable for family gatherings or friends nights out. A few critiques appear, including spicy levels or seasoning variances, occasional kitchen timing delays, and a reservation system that can be frictional, but overall the experience is considered outstanding and a top dining spot in the area with many looking forward to return visits.

*********Be warned. Went on Sunday for lunch, they only have brunch offered. No where on the website do I see it stating this. Went for food on their menu & was stuck with brunch/breakfast. Not impressed. Thank you for the response. But when I see a restaurant that is open from 10am to 14pm on a website, I would consider going at 12pm being lunch. So if you were to update your website to specifically say there is only brunch, there wouldn't be any mistakes.

'Nolah is a total showstopper! The interior is absolutely beautiful-elegant enough for a special occasion but with a warmth that makes you feel right at home.

We started with the Sausage Gumbo, & the rich, dark roux was perfectly authentic. If you're a fan of Shrimp & Grits, their Charleston-style version is a must-try; the mascarpone-infused grits are incredibly creamy. Masha loved her ribs, & my Buttermilk Fried Chicken had the perfect balance of tenderness & a heavy-duty crunch.

We finished with the Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce (an absolute essential) & some airy, powdered sugar-dusted Beignets. It was easily one of the best Creole meals we've had. Highly recommended!'

No complaints, we enjoyed everything we ordered! The server was very attentive & helped us with our order by recommending which dishes to take & stopped us from ordering too much! The cocktail I ordered was good (but forgot what it was called). Id definitely come back for a date night, or a girls night out here! It was such a nice & intimate place, not too loud & i loved that they also have weekly specials!

Nous sommes allé pour un souper tôt un samedi alors que nous étions dans le coin. Quelle belle découverte! Un service hors pair & chaleureux. Des plats - croquettes de poisson, un des meilleurs Mac'n Cheeze qu'il m'est été donné de manger depuis longtemps, côte de boeuf, brisket de boeuf, Mud Pie & mousse au choco crème chantilly - exquis, balancés & parfaitement apprêtés. Leur cote Google de 4.8 au moment ou j'écris ces lignes n'est pas le fruit du hasard. Chaudement recommandé!

1st time experience with my girlfriend & her husband. Was recommended by a co-worker & drove from the east end to try this spot.
WOW!!! EVERYTHING was on point! The blackened catfish, the fried chicken & the Creole shrimp plates were extraordinary. The grits are so good, creamy & rich with a mascarpone cheese.
I'm a critique when it comes to taste & quality. All 3 of us were in AWE. Aw wonderful experience for the taste buds.
We shared the bread pudding with the bourbon sauce. OMG
We will definitely be back for the terrasse in the summer 😊
No photos for food. We simply enjoyed the culinary experience !!

Troisième visite & toujours aussi satisfaite. Le repas était délicieux, le service impeccable du début à la fin. Le menu brunch sort de l'ordinaire...on est loin du 2 oeufs bacon. L'été, la terrasse est superbe; un portion couverte permet de manger à l'extérieur même en cas de pluie.

Simply delicious! From the entrées, to the mains, & finishing with the desserts you simply can't go wrong.

If I were to criticize anything it would be their chocolate torte (-0.5 star), not very chocolatey (sadly a complete letdown) when compared to the Mississippi mud cake which was devine!

Chris, our waiter was excellent!

I wanted to go back & called to make a reservation & was informed that they only do reservations online & it requires a credit card to do so. (-0.5 star)

Went back & had another good meal. Chris was again our waiter & was great! Even my children enjoyed the food! The staff are friendly.

The only complaint with our meal would have been the fried chicken. It was super juicy, but not crispy at all.

Update
Went for another meal & it sadly did not live up to previous visits. Not sure we'll be going back.

I had the jerk shrimp with grits, I thought it wouldn't be filling but turned out to be a good portion. The mac n cheese lacked seasoning it was not what I expected but tasted like homemade.

Went for a dinner on a Sunday night. Making the reservation was easy & service was great. I have dined here before & the food is consistently delicious. We ordered the bao buns, mac & cheese, & shrimp & grits.
