A word from Creola

We hope that you will dine with us soon for an authentic New Orleans dining experience - One that goes beyond Cajun! To enhance your dining experience, we fly in the finest seafood and products available from the Louisiana Gulf Coast and Bayou Regions. We believe that it is these indigenous… products that ensure the authenticity of flavors and the integrity of our Creole and Cajun Cuisine.Continued

"The overall experience was just medium. Unfortunatley it seems that our table was in the restaurant's "no man's land". It took well over 10 minutes before we were able to flag down someone to take our drink orders. It never seemed like we actually had an assigned wait person for our table. The food was fine, but not outstanding, with the exception of the special crayfish in puff pastry appetizer, which was quite good. The experience wasn't good enough to bring me back"
